IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.

2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is used subsequently.

3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4. Use supplied 1/8" hex key and #2 phillips screwdriver to remove silver shipping brackets attached to slat and screen case.

5. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.

Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor, the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes off.

SCREEN AND ROLLER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

Follow these steps if your screen and roller assembly was ordered separately from the case.

1. Remove the access door. First, remove the 2 screws from the ends. Be sure to support the door during this step to avoid injury. Then lift the door slightly and pull away from the edge of the case (Figure 1).

2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Remove fabric and roller assembly from shipping board. Leave packing paper on roller.

6. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor wire connector into case connector (Figure 3).

8. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.

Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor, the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes off.

9. Re-install the access door. Procedure is the reverse of step 1 listed above.

3. To install screen and roller assembly, loosen (but do not remove) four 1/4-20 nuts securing pin end bracket (opposite end from the junction box) to the case housing. Slide the pin end bracket towards the end of the case (Figure 2).

4. Insert the motor end square shaft into the motor end bracket

(junction box end) and secure with the clip (Figure 3).
