Lifting the Curtain Assembly, Attaching Spring

STEP 5 LIFTING THE CURTAIN ASSEMBLY

WARNING

Curtain assembly is heavy. Allowing curtain assembly to fall while lifting, could result in severe or fatal injury.

To avoid severe or fatal injury, never walk, stand, or work below curtain assembly before it is secured to support brackets.

The left hand end of the curtain assembly (when installed) will be the end with the spring. Lift the curtain assembly up to the brackets and insert the left hand axle end into the large hole in the left hand bracket. Be sure that the axle collar rests against the bracket. While continuing to support the curtain assembly, insert the right hand axle end into the right hand bracket in the same manner. It may be necessary to gently pry the right hand bracket out to allow clearance for the curtain assembly axle end. Secure the curtain assembly in position by installing the cotter pins through the holes in each axle end. Once installed, bend the ends of both cotter pins to secure in place.

IMPORTANT!

If door is equipped with a Tension-Pro™ bracket, see STEP #12 for assembly instructions.

STEP 6 ATTACHING SPRING

Rotate curtain assembly so that the bottom bar is at the top of the curtain roll. While keeping the curtain from rotating, carefully stretch the spring end to the bracket to determine the bracket hole nearest to the loop in the spring end. Position the 5/16-18 x 1” hex head bolt and flat washer in the spring loop and stretch the spring to insert the bolt into the previously determined bracket hole. Loosely install the lock washer and nut on the outside of the bracket to hold the spring stretch. Rotate the spring until it is centered on the bracket and securely tighten the spring attachment bolt.

HINT:

For an easier way of installing the spring attachment bolt, if the installation permits, use vice grips to temporarily secure spring loop to bracket.
