1
Carefully grasp Louver with both hands. Depending on length of Louver,
this may require more than one person. It is important not to allow the
Louver to flex along its length; once a roller edge Louver has been dam-
aged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
2
Insert one side of the Slat clip into the rolled edge of the Louver.
3
Rotate the Slat Clip far enough to allow the other side of the Slat Clip to go
into the rolled edge on the other side of the Louver.
4
The Slat Clip is then rotated back until it is perpendicular to the edges of
the slat.
5
For exterior installations, install Slat Retaining Spring.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Under normal circumstances, the FlexLouver Rack Arm System requires
no special maintenance or adjustments other than occasional cleaning by the
end user.
For general cleaning, use a sponge and water with a mild detergent to
wipe down the louvers when in a closed position. Following cleaning, move
the louvers to the open position to allow them to dry.
Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaning agents as they could damage
the surface of the louvers.
Caution: Do not operate when snow and/or ice may be present on the
system. Operating in snow and ice conditions will cause damage to the
system.
