IMPORTANT:
Make sure no shims are forced to ensure that the frame
sections are not bowed. Check frame constantly to be
certain that it is level, plumb and square. A transit/laser
and other similar precise measuring equipment should
be used to make these determinations. Make sure that all
surfaces of the upper track is clean and free of any debris,
especially cuttings from drilled holes.
B. INSTALLATION OF FLOOR CLOSER FOR
SINGLE ACTION OFFSET END PANEL
The 2 offset hinges are pre-installed on the top and
bottom rail of panel #3 (see DIAGRAM 1). The counterpart
of the offset bottom hinge is also pre-installed on the side
jamb. The counterpart of the top hinge fixed to the top rail
of panel #3 needs to be attached to the head track in the
field.
See Sheet 4 and 11 of the Installation Manual.
Slots in the floor for the floor closer have to be made at
exact precise spots. There is no second chance if the slot
location is off.
See Sheet 11 of the Installation Manual.
Step B1
You installed the side jamb as described in Step A10, and
checked the swing direction of the singe action offset
end panel. There are 2 ways to find the center point of the
pivot axle of the floor closer:
Mark the point on the floor through the center of the
bottom hinge attached to the side jamb.
Measure the 2 5/8” (66 mm) dimension for the center of
the pivot axle of the floor closer to the chalk line (CL of
track). Mark this dimension on the floor. The center point
is then offset to the edge of the backside of the side jamb
by 2” (51 mm). Mark this dimension on the floor as well.
Step B2
Take off the side jamb and make sure that you keep
the correct shim space and horseshoe shims for each
anchoring point. Unscrew the bottom hinge from the side
jamb.
Step B3
Then mark the dimensions of the box on the floor, and if
concrete, cut and chisel out the concrete to recess the
floor closer into the floor. Position the box at the right
location and check dimensions and position of the pivot
axle. Make sure that the full underside of the box rests on
a flush and level surface.
Step B4
Install the side jamb without the hinge back in place as
described in Step A10. Then line up the hinge and the
pivot axle of the floor closer and screw on the hinge to the
side jamb. Now fix the floor closer temporarily into place.
Step B5
Install the top hinge by hanging it off on the side of the
head track and fix it with 2 screws in the pre-threaded
holes of the head track.
See Sheet 4 of the Installation
Manual.
Use a transit/laser or other similar precise measuring
equipment to line up the center of the bottom hinge with
the center of the top hinge.
C. PANEL INSTALLATION FOR ALL
SLIDING PANELS
As there can be many possible configurations, panel
installation will vary with each unit. Below are guidelines
for a 3 panel unit shown in
Diagram 1
. Determine the
interior/exterior side of the panels (foot activated locks
are usually on the inside) and install them such that
they are facing the correct direction. Please also refer
