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 3/8" 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 40, 40B, 40X, and 40XB are free-
wheeling units. The addition of the optional 40BK and 40BKB
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 (411) 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 (412, 412A, or 413) 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.
