Package Contents
Before installation, ensure all components are present:
- Fixed Wall Mount Retractable Belt Barrier unit
- Wall Receiver
- Mounting Hardware (screws and wall anchors)
Setup and Installation
The CCW Series WMB-120 is designed for hassle-free setup on walls or flat surfaces. Follow these steps for secure installation:
- Select Mounting Location: Choose a sturdy wall or flat surface where the barrier unit and wall receiver will be mounted. Ensure the chosen location allows for the full extension of the 11-foot belt without obstruction.
- Mark Drilling Points:
- Hold the main barrier unit against the wall at the desired height and mark the positions for the mounting screws.
- Extend the belt to the desired length and position the wall receiver. Mark the positions for its mounting screws. Ensure the receiver is aligned horizontally with the barrier unit.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If installing into drywall, insert the provided wall anchors into the pilot holes.
- Mount the Barrier Unit: Align the main barrier unit with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Tighten securely.
- Mount the Wall Receiver: Align the wall receiver with its drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws.
Operating Instructions
Using the retractable belt barrier is straightforward:
- Extend the Belt: Gently pull the belt end from the main barrier unit. The belt will extend smoothly.
- Secure the Belt: Insert the belt end into the slot of the wall receiver. Ensure it clicks securely into place. The belt should be taut but not overly stretched.
- Retract the Belt: To retract, gently press the release button or lever on the belt end (if present, otherwise simply pull it out of the receiver) and guide the belt back into the main unit. The unit features an anti-snapback design and a slow retracting belt with a braking system to prevent rapid retraction and potential injury.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your retractable belt barrier:
- Cleaning: Wipe the steel case and belt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or belt material.
- Inspection: Periodically check the belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Inspect the mounting screws for tightness and ensure the barrier unit and receiver are securely attached to the wall.
- Belt Mechanism: Ensure the belt extends and retracts smoothly. If you notice any resistance or issues, check for obstructions in the mechanism. The anti-snapback feature should always function correctly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Belt does not extend or retract smoothly. | Obstruction in the belt mechanism or internal spring issue. | Check for any visible obstructions. Gently pull and release the belt a few times. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Belt does not lock into the wall receiver. | Belt end not fully inserted or receiver mechanism is obstructed. | Ensure the belt end is pushed firmly into the receiver until it clicks. Check the receiver slot for debris. |
| Barrier unit feels loose on the wall. | Mounting screws are loose or wall anchors are compromised. | Tighten all mounting screws. If the issue persists, inspect the wall anchors and consider relocating or using stronger anchors. |
