- 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.
