3. Installation Guide

The HOMEPILOT Shutter Winder Pure is designed for surface mounting and does not require extensive masonry work, making it suitable for both new installations and renovations.

3.1. Preparation

• Ensure the roller shutter is fully closed before beginning installation.
• Carefully remove the existing roller shutter belt from its original spring-loaded mechanism. Exercise caution during this step.
• It is recommended to remove the original roller/spring mechanism and cover the hole with a suitable plug (available at hardware stores) to provide a clean mounting surface for the winder's bracket.

3.2. Mounting the Device

1. Step 1: Position and Mark. Hold the winder's mounting bracket against the wall at the desired installation height. Ensure it is level and positioned correctly relative to the roller shutter belt opening. Mark the drilling points for the screws.
   

   Figure 3: Step 1 of installation - Positioning and marking.

2. Step 2: Secure the Mounting Bracket. Drill holes at the marked points and insert appropriate wall plugs if necessary. Securely fasten the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws.

3. Step 3: Prepare the Belt. Measure the roller shutter belt. It should be approximately 20 cm longer than the distance from the roller shutter opening to the winder's mounting position. Cut the belt to this length and create a small slot or eyelet at the end using scissors.
4. Step 4: Attach the Belt to the Winder. Pass the prepared belt through the slot at the top of the winder device. Hook the eyelet of the belt onto the designated hook on the central gear inside the winder.
5. Step 5: Mount the Winder. Carefully attach the winder unit onto the secured mounting bracket. Ensure it clicks into place firmly.

6. Step 6: Tension the Belt. Manually operate the winder (or gently pull the belt) to allow the winder to take up some slack and tension the belt.
7. Step 7: Close the Cover. Secure the protective cover over the gear compartment, ensuring it is properly closed and secured with the safety clip.
8. Step 8: Connect Power. Plug the power cable into the winder and then into a standard European power outlet.
