INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE BEGINNING
.
A. BI-PARTING TRAVEL
1. Before raising track into position, determine location of
spindles, idlers, and other accessories and drill appropriate
holes. If conditions allow, all spindles, idlers, and end pulleys
may be installed. See “special instructions” for information on
placement and number of spindles suggested. Do not place end
stops in the center of the track at this time.
2. Place track either on the floor or on sawhorses in the
configuration of the finished track. When laying out the track,
make sure that the track which has the double end pulley (603)
is outside the curve of the single end pulley (604) track. Make
sure the tracks are overlapped the proper amount, 2'-0" is
considered standard. If track needs to be spliced, please refer to
the section on splices in "Special Instructions."
3. Attach track at overlap with 1 set (two 605) overlap clamps
approximately 6" from each end. Install hangers (606) evenly
along the entire run of the track starting adjacent to end pulleys.
Refer to recommended spacing provided. Additional hangers
should be installed on curves and others may be required due to
site conditions.
4. If a batten is used to stiffen the track, place the pipe clamp
(435) loosely on the batten. Raise the track and attach to the
pipe clamps. The 600 Series may also be suspended with wire
rope or welded link chain. Use attachment method appropriate
to application. The track has been punched at the factory for
splices, however, make sure that the track is free from burrs or
proper alignment of the track sections may not be possible.
5. Attach the double end and single end pulleys to their
respective tracks if not previously done. CAUTION! Make
sure that end pulleys are solidly anchored to the track.
6. From the center of the track, install single carriers (601, 616,
or 628) into each side (1 single carrier per foot of track). Next,
install one master carrier (642, 647, or 649) into each track.
Finally, install one end stop & cord support (609) on each end
of the track.
7. IMPORTANT! Make sure track is parallel to floor before
final attachment. WARNING! After attaching track to a
counterweighted batten, make sure to balance the line set
and leave at a comfortable working level.
8. Start to reeve the operating line from the upper sheave of the
double end pulley. The rope goes over the sheave and through
the top sheave of the double spindles (618) toward the center
overlap and through the end stop & cord support. Next, the line
passes through the master carrier on the single end pulley side
track and around the single spindles (619). Do not tighten
master carrier cord clamps at this time.
9. Reeve the operating line through the single end pulley and
around the outside idlers (620). Next, the operating line passes
through the end stop & cord support on the double end pulley
track and terminates at the rope clamp of the master carrier on
the double end pulley track. The other end of the line runs
through the tension floor block (608) and back toward the
double end pulley. NOTE: The spring in the tension floor
block should be extended when the operating line is first reeved.
10. Reeve the operating line over the bottom sheave of the
double end pulley, around bottom roller of double spindle (618),
and terminate at the master carrier. NOTE: Both free ends are
now located at this master carrier. Make sure that there is
sufficient operating line remaining to reach the intended
finished height. At this time, make sure that all end stops are
secured in place. Release spring in tension floor block to place
operating line under tension. CAUTION! Exercise care when
releasing tension in spring to avoid injury. For counterweight
batten mounted tracks a 643 Sand Bag Tension Pulley should be
used.
11. Slide each to the master carriers to the center stops and
tighten all of the rope clamps. Move the operating line to make
sure that the track operates smoothly and track does not flex at
any time. If problems exist, correct now prior to hanging
curtain.
12. The curtain may now be attached to the carriers.
WARNING! After attaching the curtain to tracks mounted
on a counterweighted batten, the line set must be balanced.
Always use caution when working with an out-of-balance
line set.
B. ONE-WAY TRAVEL
1. Before raising the track, all spindles and other accessories
should be placed and all necessary holes drilled. If conditions
allow, spindles can be installed. See "Special Instructions" for
information on placement and number of spindles required.
2. Lay the track sections on the floor or on sawhorses in the
configuration of the finished track.
3. Install hangers (606) evenly along the entire run of the track
starting adjacent to end pulleys. Refer to recommended spacing
provided. Additional hangers should be installed on curves and
others may be required due to site conditions.
4. If a batten is used to stiffen the track, place the pipe clamp
(435) loosely on the batten. Raise the track and attach to the
pipe clamps. The 600 Series may also be suspended with wire
rope or welded link chain. Use attachment method appropriate
to application. The track has been punched at the factory for
