NOTE TO CORD DRAW TRACK SYSTEM FABRICATORS TO COMPLY WITH ANSI/WCMA STANDARD, SECTION 6.5.1 - Pull either side of the drive loop as shown in Figure 4 until the track system is in the desired position.
- While pulling down on the screw hole of the device, slide the device up as close as possible to the track as shown in Figure 5.
- Route a cable tie through the oval-shaped hole on the device and completely around the bundled-up drive cord loop, and tighten the cable tie securely as shown in Figure 6.
INSTALL DEVICE
You can install the device inside or outside the window casing using the correct bracket. At the job site, use cutting pliers to carefully snip and remove the cable tie from the device. Slide the device to the bottom of the tool while pulling the screw hole in the device as shown in Figure 7. The device must be properly and securely mounted with tension on the drive loop for the cord tension system to be fully operatable.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
- Attach the device to the outside mount bracket with the short screw as shown in Figure 8A. The nub on the bracket fits into the back of the screw hole on the device.
- Pull down on the bracket, and align the center of the screw hole part with the indicator line on the device as shown in Figure 8B.
- While holding the device firmly in place, check if the loop can move freely through it.
a. If the device locks onto the loop, it is too loose and the bracket and device should be moved down.
b. If the loop does not run freely through the device, it is too tight and the bracket and device should be moved up. - Mark and pre-drill the screw holes.
- Detach the device from the bracket by removing the short screw. Align the bracket screw holes with the drilled holes and mount the brackets to the wall with two long screws.
- Reattach the device to the bracket with the short screw.
- Check to ensure the loop can move freely through the device without engaging the lock.
