➂
Remove spring roller from its headbox. The one-notch spring roller is pre-
tensioned and the dog is locked in the notch.
➃
Remove roller/motor assembly from its headbox by removing the black
plastic retainer clip at the idler end and the retainer pins from the motor
end. Take the idler end out of its bracket, then slide the motor end off the
motor studs on the endcap (see Fig. 2). Keep all retainer clips and pins.
NOTE: If unit is motorized, you may need to locate and drill a hole for the
conduit connector (Conduit connector is not supplied) (see Fig. 4).
Unit Assembly/Installation
➀
With unit still on floor, install both side channels to both headboxes (see
Fig. 5). Make sure channel locators are properly seated; tap gently with
plastic hammer or rubber mallet if necessary.
NOTE: Fabric travels toward
motor end.
