and rounding the corners will help form a smooth splice. If the
track ends are not smooth, proper alignment may be impossible.
3. Loosen the splice and butt the track sections together in the
splice. Tighten the four 1/4" splice attachment bolts (on top of
splice) until the track is held loosely. CAUTION! Do not
overtighten.
4. Tighten the 1/4" adjustment screws on the top of the track
until the track is seated firmly in the splice clamp. Next, tighten
the other side of the splice in the same manner. Make sure that
the track ends are still butted together. CAUTION! Do not
over tighten the bolts since deformation of the track is
possible.
5. The adjustment screws on the side of the splice are used to
hold the side alignment of the track. Start by turning the screws
on one side of the splice until they touch the track, then do the
same to the other side. Any side misalignment may be adjusted
by alternately tightening or loosening various screws.
6. When the track is aligned, tighten the 1/4" splice attachment
bolts together. Caution! Make sure that the track stays in
alignment as you tighten the splice.
Pivot Devices
1. Pivot devices allow for curtains to be positioned at different
angles relative to the track. The 10, 10B, 10X, and 10XB are
free-wheeling units. The addition of the optional 10BK and
10BKB brake kit will prevent undesired movement of pivot
along track.
2. The pivot devices are designed for either 1-3/8" O.D. tubing
or 1" Sch. 40 pipe. Maximum recommended batten length is 6'-
0". Make sure that the batten is the proper length for the
application.
3. Install the "C" clamps in each end of the curtain batten.
These are provided so that a cord may be tied between the two
to aid in turning the device. The cord should be long enough so
that adjustment may be done with the curtain at its proper trim.
4. WARNING! Tracks that include pivot devices must be
provided with a bolt through style end stop (111) to contain
the pivot device within the track assembly.
4. CAUTION! Do not attempt to adjust the curtain by
means of pulling on the fabric. Damage to the curtain and
associated hardware may result.
5. CAUTION! The recommended total load on the device
must not exceed 75 pounds.
Rear Fold Guide
1. Rear fold guides (112 or 113) are used when the curtain
needs to store in a pocket or a "sliding door" effect is desired.
2. The guide is attached to the carrier and is positioned offstage
in relation to the carrier. Rubber bumpers are place on each side
of the guide to insure quiet operation. Note: The master carrier
and carrier nearest the end pulley do not require a rear fold
guide.
3. As the curtain is pulled open, it is pulled back into the pocket
flat and does not start to fold until the carrier stops. The curtain
does not billow as it moves offstage and will fold neatly in the
pocket.
