8.
Install the side tracks and covers
a.
On one side of the screen (left or right) measure from the ground or the lowest point up to the bottom
of the end cap. That is the length of the track
b.
Take the corresponding side track
i.
To find which track goes on which side, take 1 piece of track and face it so that the beveled end
is pointing up towards the housing, the open end (where the track cover will snap on to) is
facing out and the groove for the zipper is facing in towards the other post
ii.
Whichever side matches that lay out is the correct track side
c.
Measure the back side of the track below the bevel towards the bottom end
d.
Mark the length measured earlier
e.
With the chop saw cut at that point
f.
Take the track cover and measure the same length and cut
g.
Repeat the same steps for the other track
i.
Each track may be a different length so it is important to ensure you cut the correct track for
both the left and the right side
h.
Take one side of tracks and feed the zipper in to the groove of the track through the beveled end of the
track
i.
Use needle nose pliers to hold on the tab beside the slide bar to help guide the zipper in to the
groove
i.
Line the outside edge of the track with the outside edge of the end cap and install a fastener in the
middle of the track through the angle and back of the track back 2” below the housing
i.
Ensure the screw does not extend past where the track cover will be placed (1” screws are ideal
for this)
j.
The beveled part of the track will fit inside the housing
k.
Repeat step for the other track
l.
Ensure the slide bar is centered between the tracks
m.
Each installer holds a track (on either side of the opening) perpendicular to the ground
n.
Press the down button on the remote and stop the screen when the slide bar reaches the mid-way point
between the upper limit and the lower limit
o.
Ensure the track is level and perpendicular to the ground and that the screen is not too tight or too lose
(the screen should provide a bounce similar to a trampoline when tapped on)
p.
At the point of the slide bar install a fastener in the middle through the angle and in to the back of the
track on both tracks
i.
Ensure the screw does not extend past where the track cover will be placed (1” screws are ideal
for this)
q.
Press the down button on the remote
i.
The screen will hit the bottom limit (about 1’ above the lowest point)
r.
Ensure the track is level and perpendicular to the ground and that the screen is not too tight or too lose
(the screen should provide a bounce similar to a trampoline when tapped on)
s.
Install a fastener in the middle through the angle in to the back of the track on both tracks 2” above the
lowest point
i.
Ensure the screw does not extend past where the track cover will be placed (1” screws are ideal
for this)
t.
Press the up button on the remote and ensure the screen rolls up without being impeded
i.
The zipper must roll over on itself on both sides of the roll tube (no telescoping)
