OPERATION OF A NANAWALL FOLDING UNIT 

For opening and closing the folding system, please 
observe the special notes on the following pages in as far 
as they relate to your folding system.

When operating the folding system similar to 
any other door, please do not place your fingers 
between the panels/pivot points. You may hurt 
them!  

Do not have anyone not properly trained on operation 
and children operate the unit. 

Do not force the system if not operating properly.  
Please have it repaired as soon as possible by a qualified 
technician. 

Anchor panels when in the open position to prevent 
uncontrolled movement, especially in windy conditions, 
that might cause damage and injury. 

It is highly recommended that if not used, the NanaWall 
folding unit be kept closed as much as possible, in order 
to provide best security and weather resistance. When 
closed, please engage all locking mechanisms fully. 

The correct sequence of opening and closing of panels is 
dependent on the configuration ordered. Panels must be 
opened and closed in the right order.

1.

Open the swing panel a full 180

° 

and connect

 

to the 

panel catch on the adjacent panel.

2.

3.

Slide folding panels, starting with the pair adjacent to

 

the swing panel.

For closing, proceed in reverse order.

pair and fold it slightly.
