3. Double spindles (618) are mounted on the inside of the curve
on the double end pulley track only.
4. Single spindles (619) are mounted on the inside of the curve
on the single end pulley track only.
5. Outside idlers (620) are mounted on the outside of the curve
on the single end pulley track only.
6. Spindles and idlers are also suggested on straight track
sections of 6'-0" and longer.
7. Since idler number, spacing and placement are unique for
each job, please consult the factory for further information.
Splices
1. In order to have a smooth operating track it is important that
the track splices are installed properly and carefully. Make sure
that the ends of the track are smooth and no ragged edges are
protruding.
2. Whenever possible, splices should be located on straight
sections of track. If track must be spliced on a curve it might be
necessary to bend the splice to match the radius of the bend.
3. A drill fixture (607FX) is available from the factory to
facilitate field drilling of splices for the 600 Series track.
Pivot Devices
1. Pivot devices allow for curtains to be positioned at different
angles relative to the track. Both the 60 and 60X are free-
wheeling devices. The 60BK brake kit is available as an
optional accessory for holding the device in a fixed position.
The "X" suffix stands for a special indexing device that allows
the curtain to be placed in preset positions at 22½
o increments.
2. The pivot device is 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. Place the "C" clamps in each end of the curtain batten. They
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. 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. The recommended total load on the device must not exceed
75 pounds.
Miscellaneous
1. Rubber bumpers are supplied (2 for each carrier) and should
be placed on the "ears" on the side of the carrier that face the
end pulleys.
2. A 4'-0" minimum is suggested for ease of operation and for
optimum life. Consult the factory for a radius less than 4'-0".
3. When using the curved 600 Series track with light-weight
fabrics, the carriers may bind as they go around the curve.
Adding weight to the bottom of the curtain and connecting the
carriers together with chain will help alleviate the problem.
4. NOTE: Rigged 600 Series tracks (manual and machine
operated) are not designed for reverse or "S" curve operation.
The design and operation of the spindle and idler assemblies
does not allow this feature. If design of track layout requires a
reverse bend, the 500 Series heavy duty curved track is a
suitable choice. 600 Series tracks may be reverse curved for
walk-along applications only.
