APPENDIX ONE: HABITAT SCREEN ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
The following are recommendations on how to address screen performance issues and what to look for.
Please see the section applicable to the performance issue on site:
Section1: Screen Coming Out of the Guide Rails
Section 2: Screen Hanging Up in the Guide Rails
Section 1: Screen Coming Out of the Guide Rails
A.
Remove panel box bottom
B.
Check to ensure the shaft is centered and that the zipper of the screen runs straight into the retention
insert, with a visual inspection. Adjust as necessary by moving the shaft from side to side by hand.
C.
Check to ensure the shaft is perfectly level, by placing a 4’ level on the shaft.
D.
Check the A1 width against that which was ordered, in 3 places
–
top, middle and bottom.
E.
Check to ensure the rail spacing is correct, true and plumb from top to bottom.
F.
Check to ensure the rails are not twisted from installation. A straight edge or level can be placed against
the face of the rails looking for gaps between the straight edge and the rail. Use shims behind fastening
points where necessary. To ensure fasteners are not over-tightened, please use the clutch on your drill.
G.
If the guide rail height has been trimmed on site, please ensure the black retention inserts extend 1”
above the top of the guide rail and that they have a “v” groove at
the top, as per factory spec.
H.
Run screen up to top stop point and manually guide the zipper into the retention insert on both sides.
Please note that the panel box may have to be lifted upwards slightly to allow sufficient room for
maneuvering the bottom profile into position. As such, any fasteners holding the box to the wall will
have to be removed.
I.
Check to see if the fabric is tracking properly, by operating the screen down and watching the behavior
of the fabric on the shaft.
1.
If the zipper comes out of the black retention insert at the top (the zipper entry point into the
retention insert) as the unit operates down, stop the unit and raise the screen to a point just
before the zipper comes out. Adjust the shaft side to side, such that the zipper will not come out
of the rail. If the zipper pulls out on one side, tap the shaft towards that side, with a rubber mallet.
2.
Continue with a downward operation and repeat the above process as necessary until the entire
screen zipper is held within the retention insert.
3.
Cycle the unit through a few complete up/down operations to ensure the screen no longer comes
out of the rails.
J.
The unit can be operated down until the point where the connection point between shaft and curtain is
visible. Adjust shaft and curtain to ensure both are perfectly centered. Run again.
K.
Check the gap of the retention inserts with feeler gauges that can be purchased at any automotive parts
supply store. The gap should be 0.035” to 0.040”. (or about 0.9mm to 1.0mm)
