Introduction
This manual’s main function is to assist the installer in correctly mounting shutters with due regard for safety, operation, and sound construction practices. NFPA 80 and local
fire and building codes take precedence with regard to any discrepancies among them.
All Wayne-Dalton FireStar Rolling Fire Shutters follow the general guidelines set forth herein. Additional installation information for each shutter shipped is found in
the packing slip and supplementary drawings. There are also bolt and small parts bags sealed separately with accessory lists describing which parts are to be in-
stalled.
PREPARATION
Read the installation instructions to become familiar with the names of the various components and their relation to each other. It is a necessity for the installer to
determine the following:
• The type of mounting (above lintel or under lintel).
• Method of operation (crank, motor, tube motor, or push-up).
• The hand of operation determined from the coil side (right or left).
• Type of jamb on which the shutter guides mount and the fasteners required.
• The dimensions for the opening width, opening height, head room, and side room.
MATERIAL
Inspect your shutter prior to leaving for job site for possible damage or shortage of parts. Report any claims or shortages to your door supplier immediately.
CLEARANCES
The installation drawings supplied in the hardware bag contain information on bracket size and head and side room for each shutter. Be sure that the dimensions are correct
for the opening you are working on. Take special note of the “C” dimension (Figure 4, p9). THIS DIMENSION MUST BE AS SPECIFIED IN ORDER TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE WITH
THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE SHUTTER WHILE BEING CLOSED. Measure and verify the required clearances shown on page 8 are available prior to installation.
