5. Setup and Installation

The Schellenberg 50151 belt winder is designed for quick and easy surface mounting. It allows for belt replacement without needing to open the roller shutter box, provided the existing belt is reused.

Required Tools:

• Screwdriver (Phillips and/or flat-head, depending on screws)
• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pencil
• Utility knife or scissors (for cutting the belt)
• Safety gloves and eye protection

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Roller Shutter: Fully close the roller shutter. This is crucial to relieve tension on the belt and prevent accidental movement.
2. Detach the Old Belt: Carefully pull the roller shutter belt out of the old casing. Once fully extended from the old winder, cut the belt. Ensure the roller shutter remains fully closed.
3. Remove the Old Winder: Unscrew and remove the old belt winder from the wall or window frame.
4. Mark Mounting Position: Position the new Schellenberg 50151 belt winder on the wall or window frame at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the drilling points for the screws, ensuring the 15.5 cm hole spacing aligns.
5. Mount the New Winder: Securely screw the new belt winder onto the wall or window frame using appropriate screws (not included).
6. Open the Winder: The Schellenberg 50151 is hinged. Open the casing to access the internal drum.
7. Prepare the Belt: Create a small slot or hole in the end of the roller shutter belt, approximately 2 cm from the end. Ensure the belt is not twisted.
8. Attach Belt to Drum: Insert the belt into the new winder, guiding it under the brake mechanism. Pull enough belt through so it can wrap around the drum at least once. Hook the prepared slot/hole in the belt onto the hook on the edge of the spring-loaded drum. Maintain slight tension on the belt with one hand.
9. Release Spring Tension: The internal spring is pre-tensioned and secured. Locate the safety lock on the spring-loaded drum. With one hand gently pulling on the belt (from outside the casing), use a sturdy flat-head screwdriver to carefully disengage the safety lock. Slowly allow the belt to be pulled onto the drum as the spring winds it up. Ensure the belt wraps smoothly without kinks.
10. Close the Winder: Once the excess belt is wound onto the drum, close the winder casing securely.

6. Operation

Operating the Schellenberg 50151 belt winder is straightforward:

• Raising the Roller Shutter: Pull the belt downwards evenly and smoothly to raise the roller shutter.
• Lowering the Roller Shutter: Gently release the belt. The internal spring mechanism will retract the belt, allowing the roller shutter to lower. The winder's brake mechanism will hold the roller shutter at any desired height when the belt is released.
• Swivel Function: The winder can swivel 180 degrees, allowing you to adjust its position for optimal belt guidance and user comfort.

7. Maintenance

The Schellenberg 50151 belt winder requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the winder with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check the belt for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace the belt if necessary.
• Lubrication: The internal mechanism is designed for maintenance-free operation. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
