PROPER MOUNTING OF
SHUTTER ASSIST SPRING:
The function of the spring included with your
shutter is to assist the shutter to open completely.
Because of the variety of shutter models, weights,
sizes, etc., there are several holes in which the
spring can be inserted.
To help identify which holes will be proper for the
shutter as it is applied in your home, open the shut-
ter to about 75° and insert the spring in the holes
as indicated in sketch below. If spring is too tight,
the shutter will not close. If too loose, the shutter
will not open properly. Be sure the shutter does not
open over 75° or it may not have enough weight to
pull itself closed.
