Connect the motor to a power source to extend the front bar. You will need to unroll 
the front bar slightly past the front end of the rails. 
 
NOTE: the Front Bar is NOT attached to the Rails at this point in the installation so 
you will need help to walk the Front Bar down the Guide Rails. Also, BE CAREFUL to 
avoid any wind gusts from catching the fabric and doing damage to the unit, the 
structure…and you. 
 

For Somfy motors:

 Initiate programming by simultaneously pressing the 

UP 

and 

DOWN

 buttons on the remote control until the motor jogs. Check direction of motor 

operation. Press and hold the 

DOWN 

button and confirm the front bar moves out. 

The motor will operate in momentary fashion. To change direction of the motor, press 
and hold the 

MY

 button until the motor jogs.  With the 

DOWN

 button extend the front 

bar to just slightly past the front end of the rails. 
 

For Gaposa motors:

 The remote is already programmed to the motor. With the 

DOWN

 button extend the front bar to just slightly past the front end of the rails. 

 

On units with a center guide rail, attached the plastic “T” slide plate to the front bar 
directly over the center rail using the M8x20 nuts, bolts and washers included 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Attach the Front Bar to the Guide Rail Chariot. DO NOT remove the RED Guide Rail 
Chariot safety clips YET!  
 
Slide the Bolts in the Front Bar into the slots on the Guide Rail Chariot and tighten 
with a 13mm wrench. Bolt caps are provided to complete the finished look.
