Step By Step Instructions
Adjusting
t
he Brakes
There is a brake at the motor and non-motor
end of the mechanism. The brakes are preset
at the factory and should work properly. If
they do not, they should be tightened
enough to prevent the rope from spooling
off the reel as the cover is opening.

Run the key switch in the uncover position to
roll the cover up on the roll-up tube. Check
the cover to be sure it rolls up evenly. Run
the cover 6-10 times to make sure it opens
and closes evenly. The cover fabric installa-
tion is now complete.
Adjusting the Ropes
When closing the cover, if both sides of the
cover don’t close squarely, one of the ropes
may need to be adjusted. To adjust the
rope, open the cover all the way. Pull the
excess rope off the rope reel.
If one of the ropes is longer than the other
rope, loosen the set screw that secures the
rope to the rope reel lug. Shorten this rope
until it is the same length as the other
rope. Re-attach the rope to the rope reel.
If both ropes are the same length, and the
cover doesn’t close squarely, shorten the
rope for the side of the cover that doesn’t
close all the way. The amount that the rope
is shortened is equal to the distance that the
cover needed to travel to close all the way.
After shortening the rope, run the switch in
the cover position while holding the ropes.
A
djusting
t
he Torque Limiter
The
ATOM
Automatic
Cover
System
is
equipped with a torque limiter that helps
prevent damage to the mechanism. Adjust
the torque limiter so it is tight enough for the
cover to operate correctly, but loose enough
that it will slip as needed.
To adjust the torque limiter, use a 9/16”
wrench to tighten the first
tension bolts. It is
important that the bolts are tightened
equally.
If further adjustment is needed,
tighten
the 4 bolts in equal increments 1/4 turn at
a time
.

Distribute the slack of the cover evenly
between each screw across the length of
the tube. Secure the cover to the roll-up
tube using tek screws (

) every 2-3
ft.
