Hired-Hand RollSeal Sidewall System (Curtain): SideWall Curtain - Manual (Page 6)

Part No. 4801-5072 Rev 9-08 SideWall Curtain Page 6
4.1 Description Of Assembly
The complete sidewall curtain assembly (Figure 1) consists of attached sidewall curtain systems. Each
system frames a clear opening, and provides a mount for supporting the drive pipe to which the curtains are
attached. Center systems share center tracks. An end system has either a left or a right track and shares a
center track.
An end system (left track or right track) is installed with a motor mount for accepting either a tubular
(Somfy) motor which rotates the drive pipe for raising and lowering the curtains or a Ridder motor that
mounts external to the drive pipe. The placement of the motor is determined by the proximity to the
electrical power and system controller or by the proximity to a relay on an adjacent sidewall curtain
assembly (if more than one assembly is installed). The drive pipe rests on the guide brackets and spans the
entire length of the assembly.
There are hook & loop strips laminated to the back plate, center track, left track, right track, top bar, and
drive pipe. These strips stick to hook & loop strips on the sidewall curtains in order to hold the curtains in
place and provide a tight seal between the inside and the outside of the Agriculture house. A bottom
channel and top cover are installed to each sidewall curtain system.
5. Use of Equipment
The sidewall curtain assembly is a motorized curtain enclosure for the side of an Agriculture house that
can be operated manually or connected to an automatic controller to regulate ventilation and
temperature of a house.

3/8 in. (0.95 cm) power screwdriver Tape measure Welder
Carpenter's level Ladder Pop rivet gun
Hammer 3/16 inch (0.48 cm) drill bit and power drill Chalk line
7. Adjusting Framing
Locate your particular system in Table 1, on page 1 and read the value of the 'overall height'. This
gives the overall required outer dimension from the top of the back plate to the bottom of the bottom
channel. Adjust the outer dimension of your opening as shown in Figure 2 to the 'overall height' of
your sidewall curtain system by raising or lowering top and bottom 2"x 6" boards, as required. If
necessary, add 2"x 6" boards for this specification.
