SKYFOLD CLASSIC, ZENITH AND MIRAGE RETRACTABLE WALLS

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.
