Section 2: Screen Hanging up in the Guide Rails
A.
Remove panel box bottom.
B.
Check operator to ensure it isn’t the reason the screen is stopping. Does the shaft continue to rotate
after the screen stops? If the shaft does not continue to rotate, adjust the operator as necessary
–
motor
limits, check power, engage crank rod etc.
C.
Check the gap of the retention inserts with feeler gauges that can be purchased at any automotive parts
supply store. The gap should be 0.035” to 0.040”. (or about 0.9mm to 1.0mm)
D.
Check to ensure the shaft is centered and that the zipper of the screen runs straight into the retention
insert, with a visual inspection. Adjust as necessary by moving the shaft from side to side by hand.
E.
Check to ensure the shaft is perfectly level, by pl
acing a 4’ level on the shaft.
F.
Ensure no mounting fasteners are installed through the guide rail channel. L-build is required for all
between jamb applications.
G.
Check the A1 width against that which was ordered, in 3 places
–
top, middle and bottom, and ensure
there is free play in the bottom profile from side to side.
H.
Check to ensure the rail spacing is correct, true and plumb from top to bottom.
I.
Check to ensure the rails are not twisted from installation. A straight edge or level can be placed against
the face of the rails looking for gaps between the straight edge and the rail. Use shims behind fastening
points where necessary. To ensure fasteners are not over-tightened, please use the clutch on your drill.
J.
If this is to service an older installation: clean out the retention inserts to ensure they are not plugged
up with debris. Use 100grit sandpaper folded over on itself to clean out the insert.
K.
Once the source of the problem has been identified and resolved, operate the unit top to bottom to
ensure smooth operation.
Please note: Do not lubricate the retention system as it is not designed for this, nor should it
ever need it.
NEED SUPPORT: If you are not able to resolve the performance issue, contact Talius’ Inside
Sales team for support at 1-800-665-5550.

insert, as well as shots from a distance of the complete unit.
