ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE ASSEMBLY
- Please CAREFULLY READ all instructions BEFORE STARTING THE ASSEMBLY of the Automatic Side Louver Opener.
- Carry out the steps in the order set out in the instructions.
- Close the louvre. Press upwards to ensure louvre blades are fully closed. If necessary, adjust the position of the louvre opener to ensure that the louvre blades are fully closed.
- Tighten the two screws just enough to hold the louver control opener firmly in place and to ensure it does not slip. Do not overtighten.
- It is necessary to cool the cylinder before fitting.
- Fit the adjusting screw into the end of the cylinder.
FITTING THE UNIT
- If a manual vent opener is already assembled, it should be removed.
- Follow the next steps for fitting the unit according to the greenhouse model you have purchased.
- After allowing the cylinder to reach the temperature at which you wish the louver to start opening, operate the louver manually by pulling down on the arm to remove the pressure and firmly turn the adjusting screw in the direction of the 'LO' arrow (clockwise), until the unit begins to open the louver without manual assistance.
- Any rise of the greenhouse temperature will now cause the louver to open wider. Further adjustment may be necessary, in which case repeat the process.
- By turning the adjusting screw in the direction of the 'LO' arrow (clockwise) the louvre starts opening at a lower temperature. If the adjusting screw is turned in the direction of the 'HI' arrow (anti-clockwise) the louver will not open until a higher temperature is reached.
- Please note adjustment cannot be made without operating the unit manually by pulling down on the arm to relieve the return spring pressure.
- Manual Override - If you wish to open or close the louver manually, remove the top half of the plastic catch and carefully remove the link arm from the pivot pin. Providing you do not move the unit or the adjusting knob, the unit will operate at your chosen temperature when reconnected.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Do not heat more than 50°C (122°F).
- Do not apply heavy load on louver when locking or covering.
- Do not attempt to dismantle the cylinder.
