Step 7: Prepare Top Rod
Product comes with the top rod for a 7 foot (84") high opening. If your opening is less, the
top rod will need to be shortened. If your opening is more, than an extension will be
required and adjustment may or may not be necessary.
To Lengthen Rods
• Use Rod Extension(s) to extend Rod to length needed or
longer (2", 6", or 12" Rod Extensions available).
• Cut excess length from the end of the top rod with the
rollpin hole.
To Cut Top Rods
• Cut from end with pin hole. NEVER CUT THREADED END.
• Press Jig until it bottoms over Rod.
• Drill 1/8" dia. hole thru, 3/8" (10) from the end of the
shortened top rod. Use jug provided to assure accurate
distance.

Example of opening less than 84" (using 80" as example):
Subtract your opening from 84" and cut off the necessary amount.
84" minus 80" = 4" (shorten rod by 4")
Example of opening more than 84" (actual opening 88"):
Subtract 84" from the size of your opening.
88" minus 84" = 4" (you need a rod that is 4" longer)
In this case you will need a 6" rod extension, and you will need
to cut 2" off the bottom of the top rod (the end with the hole for
the roll pin). Rod extensions are always added to the top of
the rod where it meets the top chassis.
