Setup and Installation
Installation of the Schellenberg Screw-in Winder requires careful attention to ensure proper function and safety. The unit is designed for surface mounting.
Required Tools:
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Level
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Identify the desired location on the wall or window frame. Ensure the surface is clean, flat, and structurally sound.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the winder in position and use a pencil to mark the two drilling points for the screws. The hole spacing is 170 mm. Use a level to ensure vertical alignment.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. The size of the drill bit should be appropriate for your screws and wall material.
- Mount the Winder: Secure the winder to the wall or window frame using appropriate screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
- Connect to Roller Shutter System: To attach the pre-assembled webbing to the belt pulley, you will need to open the roller shutter box. Carefully feed the strap into the roller shutter box and secure it to the roller shutter's belt pulley according to your roller shutter system's instructions.
- Test Operation: Once installed, slowly operate the roller shutter to ensure the winder functions smoothly and the strap retracts and extends without obstruction.

Operating Instructions
Operating the Schellenberg Screw-in Winder is straightforward. The winder is designed for manual operation of your roller shutters.
- To Lower the Roller Shutter: Gently pull the strap downwards. The winder will release the strap, allowing the roller shutter to descend. Control the speed of descent by maintaining a steady pull.
- To Raise the Roller Shutter: Pull the strap upwards. The winder will retract the strap, lifting the roller shutter. Continue pulling until the roller shutter reaches the desired height.
- Swivel Function: The winder can be swiveled 180° to adjust the angle of the strap for comfortable operation or to move it out of the way when not in use.
Avoid sudden jerks or excessive force when operating the winder, as this can cause premature wear or damage to the strap and internal mechanism.
Maintenance
The Schellenberg Screw-in Winder is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure its longevity and smooth operation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the winder with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic housing.
- Strap Inspection: Periodically inspect the roller shutter strap for any signs of fraying, wear, or damage. If the strap shows significant wear, it may need to be replaced to prevent operational issues.
- Mounting Security: Check the mounting screws periodically to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
- Internal Mechanism: The winder is a closed unit and does not require internal lubrication or maintenance. Do not attempt to open the housing, as this may damage the pre-tensioned mechanism and void any potential warranty.
