Use a 1/2” wrench to tighten the nylock nuts. 

Align the mechanism on the motor side first 

by using a piece of rope. Extend it from the 

outside channel of the track to the pulley to 

make  sure  the  rope  will  feed  directly  into 

the pulley. 

Go to the non-motor end and make sure the 

rope  will  come  straight  back  from  the  rope 

channel of the track to the pulley. If the ropes 

do  not  come  straight  back,  the  mechanism 

should  be  moved  to  balance  the  rope  angle 

on  both  sides.  Only  a  1/2”  variance  from 

straight is allowed on either side.

Anchoring The Mechanism

Use  a  1/4”  bit  and  hammer  drill  to  drill 

through  the  mounting  holes  in  the 

mechanism into the deck.

Note:  It  may  be  helpful  to  mark  your 

mounting holes and move the mechanism 

to  the  side  to  provide  more  room  for 

drilling the holes.  

Use  the  1-1/2"  pan  head  screws  (29)  and 

anchors (16) provided to secure the motor 

end and non-motor end to the deck.

On  both the motor end and non-motor end 

of the mechanism, measure from the cover 

track to the pulley.  It is important that the 

mechanism  be  mounted  square  to  the 

cover track.  

13

Attach  the  #8  copper  bond  wire  that  is 

stubbed near the mechanism to the bonding 

lug on the motor end of the mechanism.  

Make the same connection with the #8 copper 

bond wire that is near the mechanism on the 

non-motor end of the mechanism.
