Problem: Louvers Are Not Working Properly
■
Check panel load.
Review the procedures at the bottom of page 44.

Check connectors.
With Palmetto
™
front tilt shutters, connectors attach the louvers to the
tilt bar.
➤
Duralink
™
cufflink connectors attach the louvers to the tilt bar at the front of the panel.
Check that the connectors are securely attached. Snap them back into place if they are
detached.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure the long life of shutters, the front tilt bar should not be used to
open the panel.

With rear tilt bars, rear connectors attach the louvers to the tilt bar at the back of the
panel. Check that the connectors are securely attached.
