Fitting up the shutter.
Action sequence.
1. Unscrew rear movement limiters.
2. Fix eight holders securing the shutter from being
dragged away by strong wind (four holders at each
side).
3. Screw on the decorative handles at the front and
rear of the shutter.
4. Put the shutter onto the dome.
5. Fix limit switches clamp.
6. Screw on the rear movements limiters.
Mind correct orientation of shutter front and back.
Shutter front has a specific incision which matches front
panel of the dome. Securing holders shall be screwed on
in a way to touch aluminum guide rails very slightly.
These rails shall be under holders rollers. It is more
convenient to start shutter assembly from the dome's
back. Properly mounted shutter has to open and close
without resistance nor abrasion.
The shutter without engine tends to fall down (it is not
balanced well). Since you have automatics installed, the
shutter is restrained by the driving cog-wheel. It is
especially dangerous when the shutter falls down during
opening.
The shutter shall be opened and closed in two steps -
first grab the shutter at the front, open it just halfway
and check if it does not start to fall down. Then walk
around to the dome's back and open the shutter to the
end position, holding it by the rear handle.
