- Mount to the Wall: Position the belt guide over the existing strap opening on the wall. Mark the screw holes with a pencil.
- Secure the Guide: Attach the belt guide to the wall using appropriate screws (not included). Ensure it is securely fastened and level.
- Close the Housing: Reassemble the two halves of the belt guide, ensuring they snap or screw together firmly.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Schellenberg Duo Maxi Belt Guide operates passively. It guides the roller shutter strap smoothly while the integrated draft excluder minimizes air infiltration through the strap opening. No specific user interaction is required beyond the normal operation of your roller shutter.

The Schellenberg Duo Maxi Belt Guide requires minimal maintenance.

- Draft Seal: If you notice increased drafts, inspect the foam gasket for damage or displacement.
7. Troubleshooting
- Strap Sticking: If the roller shutter strap is sticking or not moving smoothly, check for any obstructions within the guide. Ensure the guide is clean and properly aligned.
- Drafts Persist: Verify that the belt guide is securely mounted to the wall and that the foam gasket is properly seated and undamaged. Ensure the guide is fully closed.
- Visible Damage: If the belt guide housing is cracked or broken, it should be replaced to maintain its functionality and draft-sealing properties.
