This section outlines the general steps for installing the Rollopower Tubular Motor. Specific installation details may vary based on your roller shutter system. Always consult a professional if you are unsure about any step.

- Remove Old System (if applicable): Carefully dismantle any existing roller shutter mechanism.
- Clean the Shaft: Ensure the inside of the shaft is clean and free of debris.
4.2 Motor Installation
- Attach Adaptors: Secure the appropriate adaptors to both ends of the tubular motor. These adaptors ensure a snug fit within the roller shutter shaft.
- Insert Motor into Shaft: Carefully slide the motor with attached adaptors into the roller shutter shaft. Ensure it is centered and securely seated.
- Mount the Motor: Secure the motor assembly within the roller shutter box using the provided mounting brackets. Ensure the motor is level and firmly attached to prevent vibration and noise.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and electrically connected, the motor can be operated using compatible controls (e.g., wall switch, remote control, smart home system).
