Step By Step Instructions 

Loosen the bolts on the adjustable brackets 

on  the  non

-

motor  end  of  the  mechanism.  

Spread the pulley brackets outward against 

the walls of the cover box.  

Anchoring 

t

he Pulley Brackets

 

Anchor the motor mechanism brackets into 

the cover box in as many places as possible.  

Use the appropriate screws and anchors 

depending on the type of cover box being 

used.

Align the mechanism on the motor side first 

by  using  a  length  of  rope  and  extending  it 

from  the  back  side  of  the  cover  track  to  the 

pulley  to  make  sure  the  rope  will  feed 

directly into the pulley. 

On  the  non  motor  end,  make  sure  the  rope 

will  travel  straight  from  the  track  to  the 

pulley.

Extending 

t

he Pulley Brackets

 

Loosen the nuts in the four positions on the 

adjustable brackets of the motor end of the 

mechanism.  Spread the brackets outward 

against the walls of the cover box. 

Raise the pulley brackets up so that the 

top of the bracket is even with the top of 

the encapsulation. This insures the ropes 

will be level. 

 

Tip:    before  raising  the  pulley  brackets, 

make  sure  the  feet  are  set  as  high  as 

possible  without  the  roll  up  tube  rubbing 

on the lid.

With  the  brackets  in  position,  place  a  small 

level across them to make sure they are level.  

Tighten  the  four  nuts  on  the  adjustable 

motor end brackets.

screws and anchors depending on the type of 

cover box being used.
