Section 4 -
Fabric/Roller Assembly Alignment
(Steps are shown for right-hand operators)
Please note:
If needed, the fabric panel heights can be adjusted so that the
bottom edges of the fabric panels are aligned. On large units, this procedure
should be done on only one panel at a time to minimize the amount of fabric
weight that must be supported during the adjustment procedure. Install and
adjust rear/upper panls before beginning on lower/front panels.
1.
Unlock height adjuster mechanism
(or coupler shaft receiver)
located at the
operator-end of fabric roller assembly being adjusted by rotating the metal
ring about ¼ turn counterclockwise when viewing the face of the coupler
assembly
(Fig. 9)
.
Please note:
Do not use this procedure to adjust the operator-end assembly.
Use the limits to set the down travel of the operator-end assembly.
2.
Push the fabric/roller assembly you are adjusting toward the operator-end of
the unit. The fabric/roller assembly you are pushing will move approximately
3/16
"
(8 mm)
toward the operator end
(see Figs. 10 and 13)
.
3.
Rotate the fabric/roller assembly being adjusted in either direction to raise or
lower the fabric panel
(see Figs. 11 and 13)
.
4.
Allow the fabric/roller assembly being adjusted to move back away from the
operator end of the unit, and check the position of the fabric panels.
5.
Tighten the locking ring by firmly rotating it approximately ¼ turn clockwise
(reverse of step 1)
(Fig. 12)
.
6.
Operate the unit to check for proper fabric position, tracking, etc.
Caution:
Ensure the locking ring on the idler-end coupler assembly is fully
tightened following height adjustment. Ensure you are wearing a heavy
glove on the hand you will be using to grip the locking ring. Tighten the
locking ring until it is fully locked and you cannot rotate it any further. Check
to ensure is it tight and will not work loose. If you cannot tighten by hand,
you may need to use a flat screwdriver or other tool to assist.
Unlock coupler shaft receiver
by rotating the metal ring about
¼ turn counterclockwise.
