INSTALL THE ANTI-BILLOW ROPES
The anti-billow rope is installed along the outside of the
frame and stretches between the ribbon board and the
baseboard. When installed correctly, the anti-billow rope
helps keep the drop-down curtain in place when it is
fully or partially closed. Use the diagram as a guide and
complete the steps to install the anti-billow rope.
Beginning at
1.
one end rafter
, take two (2) eye screws
(FA2155) and attach one to the baseboard and one to
the ribbon board. Align the FA2155 eye screws with
each other. See circles below.
Using the sample diagrams as guides, move to the
2.
next rafter and attach the eye screw to either the
baseboard or the ribbon board, depending on the
desired pattern.
Continue installing the eye screws until reaching the
3.
other end rafter and finish the installation by repeating
Step 1.
Take one end of the bulk roll of rope, thread it through
4.
the eye screws, and secure the end to an eye screw.
Move to the other end of the rope, pull to remove
5.
slack, and cut to length. Tie the end to the eye screw.
Test the curtain operation and adjust rope if it
6.
interferes with the curtain.
Repeat for the remaining drop-down curtain.
