REMOTE ROOF CAP OPENER INSTALLATION 15’ TO 27’
15'-48' REMOTE CAP OPENER PIVOT ARM INSTALLATION
Once the eyebolts and the LH/RH springs are on the pivot arm, the best way to hook
the 'legs' of the pivot arm into the bracket is to let the arm hang towards the ground to
keep the springs 'loose' as the illustration shows. Caution must be used when
bringing the pivot arm up when attaching it to the roof cap due to the force on the springs.

8. Fasten the slide rod angle (5) to the roof rib, three holes down from the top.
9. Insert the slide rod (4) through the eye-bolt in the roof cap and the large hole in the peak ring.
10. Fasten the slide rod (4) to the slide rod angle (5) with ½" nuts (12), one on each side of the angle.
11. Adjust the eye-bolt so the cap is supported on the slide rod (4) and tighten all the cap hardware.
12. Install a 3/8" eye bolt (10) and a guide plate (29) approximately on center of the roof sheet eave.
a. Thread the cable through the eye-bolt. Install a second 3/8" eye-bolt (10) on the down angle of the
guide plate in line with the first eye-bolt.
b. Thread the cable through the second eye-bolt to fully align the cable over the guide plate down the bin.

13. Install the cleat hook (17) directly below the eave eye-bolt, approximately 7 to 8 ft above grade.
a. If the cleat position falls near a horizontal or vertical seam bolt, use this bolt to mount the cleat hook.
b. If not, drill a hole to suit.
c. Install a washer behind the cleat to maintain a weather seal.
14. Thread the cable through the ¼" flange nut (20), the spring (18), and the PVC handle (19), in that order.
a. Pull the cable tight enough to just begin to open the bin cap.
b. Mark the spot on the cable that is even with the cleat hook when the cable is slightly in tension.
c. Loop the cable large enough to allow the handle to hang horizontally 12" down from the mark.
