C. FINAL STEPS

Step C1

 

Attach handles and other hardware that have not been

 

pre-attached. Attach the profile cylinder (if any) to the

 

locking gear by inserting it into the lock hole and

 

attaching the set screw through the screw hole on the

 

gear located at the edge of the panel. Cut the set screw,

 

if needed, so it is not longer than 1-1/2

"

 to 2

"

 depending

 

on locking type.

Step C2

IMPORTANT:

 For swing panels not attached to a 

side jamb, attach the panel catch to the stile with the 
handle and the catch counter-part to the opposite stile 
of the adjacent panel. Follow the specific instructions 
that are on the sheet in the panel catch kit. The 
purpose of this is that the swing panel should always 
be opened and engaged into the panel catch before 
the folding panels are to be opened.

Step C3 

Close and lock all panels into position. 

Step C4 

Check all horizontal joints:

Make sure the head jamb and sill are still level. Then
along the entire width of the opening, check the spacing
between the head jamb and each panel should be about
5/16

"

 along the entire length of the unit. Check especially

to see if the upper corner of a panel where the running
carriage is located is not higher than the other corner of
the panel. If it is slightly lower (not more than 1/16

"

), it is

okay. Then along the entire width of the opening, check
the spacing between the sill and each panel, which
should be about 3/8

"

 along the entire length of the unit.

Proper spacing is critical for proper operation of the 
unit.

Step C5 

Check all vertical joints:

Make sure that the side jambs are still vertically straight.

 

All vertical spacing between side jamb & panel rebate and

 

the join where swing panel meet swing panel should be

 

5/16

"

, spacing between panel & panel and panel & running

 

post should be about 1/2

"

.

Step C6

 

If the spacing on the vertical joints are not correct, 
adjustments can be made by moving the side jamb(s) 
as needed.

Step C7 

Various adjustments can be made by adjusting the hinges 
and running carriages to correct some minor spacing and 
operational problems. Adjustments are complex and if 
not performed properly, may make matters worse. Only a 
trained installer or with proper guidance from NanaWall 
should any adjustments be attempted. Please contact 
NanaWall.

Step C8 

Check that the system operates and functions properly. 
The panels should be able to be moved easily by one 
person without much effort (for not more than 6 panels 
to one side) when opening or closing and all shoot bolts 
should engage smoothly. If the panels do not move easily 
or a lot of effort is needed, the indication is that the unit is 
not properly installed. Correct any problems before finish 
trimming.
