d. Important- 

Th

e wheels must be properly aligned for FULL contact to 

ensure that the wheels will not slip during opening or closing. Adjust the 
wheel height on the speaker with the included allen wrench, if necessary. 

Th

e help of an assistant will be required to adjust the wheel height. Raise 

the top frame and, with the help of an assistant, hold the speaker in a 
vertical position while loosening the set screws to make the height 
adjustment. Reinstall the sha

ft

 into the top frame pivot hole while pulling 

back the motor assembly to allow for wheel clearance. Slide the loosened 
wheel up or down on the sha

ft

 to have maximum contact with the drive 

wheel. Tighten the two set screws. 

e. To con

fi

rm that the speaker panel can move freely, pull the drive motor 

assembly back with your thumb so that the drive wheel is disengaged from 
the idler wheel. Slowly move the speaker panel through it's 180 degree 
range of motion to check for excessive resistance. If the MMC 2 is installed 
correctly for plumb and level (so that the motor is not pushing the panel 
"uphill" upon opening or closing), and the speaker panel is free to move 
without undue resistance, our testing and 

fi

eld experience has shown that 

the motor and drive wheels will reliably open and close the MMC 2. 

f.

Th

e template provides very accurate placement of the top and bottom 

frame holes. However, mistakes can happen. In the event the gap between 
the top or bottom frame and the speaker is not correct, a modi

fi

cation is 

possible to allow for some adjustment of the gap spacing. 

Th

e frame key 

hole slot can be lengthened with a 

fi

le or Dremel tool to allow the frame to 

be lowered on one side. However, the head of the pan-head screw will 
impact on the interior portion of the frame. It is necessary to modify the 
screw with a 

fi

le or grinder. First, make certain that the screw to be 

modi

fi

ed is adjusted to the correct amount to ensure a tight 

fi

t of the 

frame. Mark the top portion of the screw head with a permanent marker 
and remove the screw. Grind or 

fi

le the marked portion of the screw and 

reinstall.
