SKYFOLD WALLS IN OPERATION

On the Mirage model, regular fixed sweep and brush seals are used to close the gap 
between each Skyfold wall section.

All Skyfold wall sections operate simultaneously. However, the Skyfold wall sections  
take different amounts of time to reach their upper and lower limits because of the  
following factors:

 

There could be slight differences in the motor speeds of these wall sections.

 

For sloped or stepped floors, there is a difference in height between the upper and 
lower limits of the Skyfold wall sections.

In these instances, the procedure to operate the Skyfold wall is the same as the 
standard operation. However, the switches must be activated for the entire duration that 
it takes all sections to reach their respective upper (open) or lower (closed) limits.

BACK-UP OPER ATING PROCEDURE

In the unlikely event that the Skyfold wall does not respond to the key switch operation, it 
could be operated by using a heavy-duty drill. A shaft extension through the fan cover of 
the motor allows for an alternate method of raising and lowering the wall. The system must 
be recalibrated before it can be used again. Leave the control box disconnect switch in 
the OFF position until it can be recalibrated by a certified Skyfold installer. Please note, this 
diagram is for illustration purposes only.

Please contact your authorized local Skyfold dealer for complete operating instructions.
