Use a 7/16”  wrench to tighten the nylock 

nuts.  Additional  carriage  bolts  (27)  and 

nylock  nuts  (29)  are  provided  and  can  be 

used  as  reinforcement  for  the  pulley 

brackets as needed.

Align the mechanism on the motor side first

by using a piece of rope. Extend it from the 

outside channel of the track to the pulley to 

make sure the rope will feed directly into the 

pulley. 

Go  to the non-motor end and make sure the 

rope  will  come  straight  back  from  the  rope 

channel of the track to the pulley. If the ropes 

do  not  come  straight  back,  the  mechanism 

should  be  moved  to  balance  the  rope  angle 

on  both  sides.  Only  a  1/2”  variance  from 

straight is allowed on either side.

Anchoring 

t

he Mechanism 

Use a 1/4” bit and hammer drill to drill through 

the mounting holes in the mechanism into the 

deck.

Use the 1-1/2" hex head screws (26) and 

anchors (25) provided to secure the motor 

end and non-motor end to the deck.

On  both the motor end and non-motor end 

of the mechanism, measure from the cover 

track to the pulley.  It is important that the 

mechanism  be  mounted  square  to  the 

cover track.
