vii) The dummy end octagonal fixing plate is supplied in the
accessory box. The plate must be fitted to the appropriate end
plate (not the motor side) before installation of the axle.
Offer up the axle assembly to the end plates inserting the
octagonal plate attached to the motor into the end plate
mounting bracket and the dummy end/spring shaft into the U
cup on the dummy end octagonal fixing plate. Secure the shaft
using the 60mm split pin provided. Make sure the motor and
override hole are correctly orientated and the limit switches
are accessible from below - see motor drawings 1 to 3 -
Section 6.
viii) secure axle by inserting the No. 8 x 3

supplied into the holes in the mounting brackets (give the axle
a tug to make sure it is securely retained) – see bubble detail
drawing A
Lock dummy end shaft securely in place, hard up against the
dummy end, with clip provided so as to prevent the axle from
moving from its correct position.
Check:
a) guides are vertical / parallel / same height and axle is
level – see drawing D
b) collars are the correct way around – see drawing F
N.B. In the event that the screw does not hold, drill a new pilot
hole through the mounting bracket and octagonal fixing plate and
try again.
For safety reasons it is essential that the fixing plate is secured
with three fixings.
ix)
secure motor POWER LEAD with CABLE TIES so that it is tight
against THE end plate – see drawing E
Alternatively you may drill a hole in the end plate to pass the
cable through in order to keep it clear of the locking bolt.
N.B. This may not be possible with tight reveal fixes.
You must ensure that you allow for a drip loop in the motor cable
to prevent water from running down the cable and into the motor.
Spare cable ties can be attached to the motor cable to act as drip
loop to prevent water entering the motor.
If an anti-fall back spring has been supplied fitted in the axle you
must now tension the spring as follows:
1) Connect the motor to either a test lead or the remote control.
2) Remove and retain the limit cover cap from the motor. Fully
press in the limit switches on the motor. Using either the test
lead or remote control rotate the axle in the close direction
(see drawing G and label on axle).
3) The number of turns required will be clearly stated on a label.
4) When complete the axle will be fully tensioned and will be
ready for installation and attachment of the curtain in the fully
closed position.
5) Replace the limit cover cap.
