9. WALL GUIDE TRACK INSTALLATION (No. 2081 Curtains Only)
Note: The following instructions assume that the wall surface is plumb, and free of protrusions, or defects. In addition, the wall
must be capable of withstanding the lateral forces generated by the curtain operation.
Refer to installation drawing for wall guide track mounting location. Wall guide track should be installed prior to hanging the curtain. The
wall guide track centerline is based on curtain centerline. Referencing the curtain centerline, mark the wall at the proposed top of track
location (typically the attachment height of the curtain). Refer to the installation drawing for the bottom of track location. Then, using the
top of track mark on the wall, suspend a plumb bob to mark wall for the bottom of track location. Anchor the track to the wall with 3/8”
diameter (minimum) hardware, and appropriate anchors (not provided). Refer to recommended anchor spacing illustration below.
For installations that require more than one section of wall guide track, it is necessary that the track sections mate perfectly (without
misalignment). Failure to align wall guide track sections properly can lead to curtain operation malfunction

10. HOISTING AND ANCHORING THE CURTAIN
Depending on anchoring conditions, it may be necessary to install supplemental support hardware to existing structure prior to raising the
curtain. Refer to the installation drawing for details.
The recommended method of raising the curtain to the support structure is by utilizing the Porter No. 02080-INS installation kit. The kit
consists of a set of rope, pulleys, clamps and rope ratchet mechanisms. The kit provides a block and tackle type mechanical advantage,
along with a ratchet type lock to prevent the curtain from falling while it is being raised. Refer to rope hoisting rigging detail on page 12.
Start by raising the curtain slowly and evenly, continue raising the curtain until the upper support tube hangers can be attached to the
support steel. Anchor the curtain with the provided hangers and hardware. Make adjustments as required to level the curtain properly.
Refer to the installation drawing for reference dimensions. See Figure F
