• Ensure the installation area is clear of obstructions and that the floor is stable.
• Keep children and pets away from the installation area.

5.2 Assembly Steps (General Overview)

1. Assemble the main aluminum frame according to the detailed diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide.
2. Install the top and bottom rails securely to the designated wall/ceiling and floor areas. Ensure they are perfectly level and aligned to allow smooth sliding.
3. Carefully insert the tempered glass panels into the frame and secure them as per the instructions.
4. Attach the sliding mechanisms (rollers) to the bottom of the sliding panels and guide them into the bottom rail.
5. Install any remaining decorative or functional elements, such as handles or termination posts (e.g., BAYVIEW posts for end-of-wall installations, sold separately).

6. Operation

The RAVENA partition features a smooth sliding mechanism for easy opening and closing. To operate:

• Grasp the edge or handle of the sliding glass panel.
• Gently push or pull the panel along the top and bottom rails.
• Avoid forcing the panel if it encounters resistance. Check for obstructions in the rails.
• Ensure the panel is fully closed or open to prevent accidental movement.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your RAVENA sliding glass partition.

7.1 Cleaning the Glass Panels

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a standard glass cleaner.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the glass surface.
• Wipe the glass dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.

7.2 Cleaning the Aluminum Frame

• Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
• Dry the frame thoroughly to prevent water marks.

7.3 Rail and Roller Maintenance

• Periodically inspect the top and bottom rails for any debris (dust, dirt, pet hair) that might impede smooth sliding.
• Clean the rails using a vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment or a damp cloth.
• Check the rollers for smooth movement. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, avoiding oil-based lubricants that attract dust.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your RAVENA sliding glass partition.

8.1 Panel Does Not Slide Smoothly

• Check for obstructions: Inspect the top and bottom rails for any debris. Clean the rails thoroughly.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone spray lubricant to the rollers and inside the rails.
• Alignment: Ensure the rails are properly aligned and level. If not, re-adjust according to the installation guide.

8.2 Glass Panel Appears Loose

• Check fasteners: Verify that all screws and fasteners securing the glass panels within the aluminum frame are tight. Do not overtighten.
• Frame integrity: Ensure the overall frame structure is rigid and properly assembled.

8.3 Scratches on Glass or Frame

• Minor scratches on glass may be reduced with specialized glass scratch repair kits, but deep scratches may require professional attention or panel replacement.
• Scratches on the powder-coated aluminum frame can sometimes be touched up with appropriate paint, but prevention through careful handling is best.
