INSTALL THE DROP-DOWN PANEL (continued)
10. Verify that the panel conduit remains against the
baseboard and pull the slack from the cord.
11. Thread the cord through the pulley (if this has not
been done), weave the cord around the Tek screws as
shown, and tighten the screws to secure the cord to
the axle.
12. Move to the next pulley position and repeat the steps
to measure, cut, and attach another cord to the panel
and axle conduit.
ATTENTION:
If the cord length was correct for the
first, cut additional cords to the same length. To
ensure that the panel remains level during operation,
verify that additional cords are wrapped around the
axle conduit in the same direction and manner as the
first cord.
13. Repeat the above steps until all cords are attached to
the first panel along one side of the shelter.
Diagram shows cords attached to the panel conduit
and to the axle. Dashed line shows the position of the
panel conduit.
14. Continue by attaching the lower panel edge to the
baseboard for the first panel installation.
Attach Lower Edge of the Panel to Baseboard
After tying all cords to the panel conduit and axle for the
first panel assembly, secure the free edge (bottom) of the
panel to the baseboard.

9. Move to the axle and drive two (2) FA4482 Tek screws
with neo-bonded washers (102921B) into the axle
conduit where the cord is located.
Do not fully seat
the Tek screws to the conduit.
Allow space to remain
between the washer and conduit.
Use customer-supplied dimension lumber as a retaining
board for the lower edge of the panel. The retaining board
must be at least 1" x 2" to adequately secure the panel to
the baseboard. Use a 1" x 4" board for best results.
Complete the steps that follow on the next page to attach
the lower edge of the panel.
