e.
With the chop saw cut at that point
f.
Take the track cover and measure the same length and cut
g.
Repeat the same steps for the other track
i.
Each track may be a different length so it is important to ensure you cut the correct track for
both the left and the right side
h.
Take one side of tracks and feed the zipper in to the groove of the track through the beveled end of the
track
i.
Use needle nose pliers to hold on the tab beside the slide bar to help guide the zipper in to the
groove
i.
Line the outside edge of the track with the outside edge of the end cap and install a fastener in the
middle of the track through the back 2” below the housing
j.
The beveled part of the track will fit inside the housing
k.
Repeat step for the other track
l.
Ensure the slide bar is centered between the tracks
m.
Each installer holds a track (on either side of the opening) perpendicular to the ground
n.
Press the down button on the remote and stop the screen when the slide bar reaches the mid-way point
between the upper limit and the lower limit
o.
Ensure the track is level and perpendicular to the ground and that the screen is not too tight or too lose
(the screen should provide a bounce similar to a trampoline when tapped on)
p.
At the point of the slide bar install a fastener in the middle through the back of the track on both tracks
q.
Press the down button on the remote
i.
The screen will hit the bottom limit (about 1’ above the lowest point)
r.
Ensure the track is level and perpendicular to the ground and that the screen is not too tight or too lose
(the screen should provide a bounce similar to a trampoline when tapped on)
s.
Install a fastener in the middle through the back of the track on both tracks 2” above the lowest point
t.
Press the up button on the remote and ensure the screen rolls up without being impeded
i.
The zipper must roll over on itself on both sides of the roll tube (no telescoping)
u.
Spray silicone in the groove of each track on both sides of the unit from top to bottom
v.
Press the down button on the remote and ensure the screen rolls down without being impeded
i.
The obstacle detection will engage is the screen is impeded
w.
If the screen rolls up and down smoothly, install a fastener at the midway point between the top and
middle fasteners and another between the middle and the bottom fastener
i.
In the middle of the track and through the back
ii.
If the screen does not roll down smoothly, or the obstacle detection engages
i.
check the groove in the tracks where the zipper rides at the point the screen stops to
make sure there is nothing impeding the screen
ii.
If the obstacle detection engages and there is nothing impeding the zipper in the
groove, ensure the tracks are level and perpendicular to the ground
iii.
If the obstacle detection still engages ensure the slide bar is not rubbing against the
tracks
If the slide bar is rubbing against the tracks, adjust the slide bar so it is centered
between the tracks
x.
If the outlet is towards the bottom of the unit drill a 3/8” hole through the side of the track (opposite of
the zipper groove side) and feed the power cord through the hole
i.
The plug will need to be unplugged and removed in order to feed the cable through the hole,
then reattached once the plug is through the hole and plugged back in
