Test the Installation

The glass panel should rotate smoothly and without interference.

1. Gently push up to unlock the glass panel.
2. Press the release button.
3. Lower the glass panel. Note: The glass panel rotates down in 90° increments from the starting position. You may need to push the release button more than once to lower the panel.
4. Rotate the glass panel up through its full range. (Indications of "Click" are noted at various positions).
5. Press the adjustment button and lower the glass panel. It will rotate 90° from the previous position and then lock into place.
6. Press the adjustment button and lower the glass panel through all of the positions.
7. If the adjustable panel binds, adjust and retighten the end frame nuts and screws or the thumbscrews.
