Installation (Setup)
Follow these steps carefully to install the Mountain Top Red Rock Roller Shutter Release Lever. It is recommended to have basic tools available, such as a screwdriver or wrench, depending on the existing hardware.
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the roller shutter is in a stable position. Clear any debris or obstructions around the existing release mechanism.
- Remove Existing Lever: Carefully identify the current release lever. Depending on the design, this may involve unscrewing a pivot screw or detaching a retaining pin.

- Attach New Lever to Strap: If your existing strap is reusable, attach it to the new billet anodized aluminum lever using the provided strap retaining bolt. Ensure the bolt passes through the strap and the lever's designated hole. The smooth collar on the bolt is designed to protect the strap from wear.

- Install New Lever Assembly: Position the new lever assembly into the roller shutter mechanism. Insert the replacement pivot screw through the lever and the pivot bush, securing it into place. Ensure the screw is tightened firmly but do not overtighten. The locking compound on the screw thread helps prevent loosening.
