CAUTION
These procedures deal directly with the pre-wound spring tension in the roller tube,
if the spring is prematurely released, the roller tube can spin out of control. Failure to exercise care
and/or failure to follow the instructions can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
NOTE:
Standard Alpines use a single mounting bracket for each endcap assembly. XL models use two
brackets per endcap assembly and center cradle supports as shown below. Except where noted,
instructions apply to all models.
1. Open the room 3” – 4”.
2. On the right end of the roller tube, insert a spring locking pin through the bearing and spindle; it may be
necessary to twist the roller to align the holes. The locking pin is a 3/16 x 1 1/4 cotter pin or equivalent.
Place tape over the head of the pin to avoid the pin coming out.
3.
For XL models:
Remove the 1/4 x 3/8 screws from the cradles and rotate the cradle out from the roller
tube.
4. Remove the end plugs and #10 shoulder screws from the endcaps (one in each endcap) and save.
5. Remove the screws (2) holding the RH endcap and set aside.
6. Hold the roller tube and remove the RH endcap from the roller tube and support extrusion.
7. Pull the roller tube from the LH end cap.
8. Unroll the canopy from the roller tube. It is not necessary to remove the canopy. Unrolling the fabric
allows for better grip on the roller tube in the next steps.
Tip: Use ladders or a scaffold to support the roller tube when it is disengaged.
