First assemble the
louvre, follow the
instruction on page 25.
Insert one of the plain
boards (EV1059) into the
greenhouse on the left
hand side below the mid
rail (diagram 135), secure
this with a piece of panel
capping (EV0979),
diagram 135.
Next insert a side rail
(EV0975). You can now
insert the louvre up into
the mid rail and across
into the EV0975 and hold
it in place.
Trim a ‘H’ shaped glass
separator to 584mm
long and place this on
top of the small pane of
glass (EV610X128) and
insert this below the
louvre.
Next slot the right hand side rail (EV0976) onto
the right hand side of the louvre. You can then
slide the last plain board (EV1059) up into the
mid rail and then secure that with a piece of
panel capping.
From the inside of the building you need to drill
two pilot holes through the cill section of the
greenhouse frame (diagram 136). Make sure the
hole is central to the cedar louvre frame and then
fix with a 50mm screw.
Once the frame is installed you can fit the louvre
glass. Carefully slide each piece into the glass
retainers until it hits the small stop.

Keep somewhere safe
in case you ever want
to change back to a
manual operation.
Once the louvre is installed in the greenhouse you can
replace the manual handle with the automatic unit.
First of all remove the screw to release the arm
(diagram 137).
Next Remove the handle from the frame of the louvre
(diagram 138).

With the louvre in the
closed position you need
to mark the frame to drill
the 2 holes. Offer the
opener up to the frame
with the plates and
washers and slide the
louvre arm into position.
This now gives you the
correct location for the
opener (diagram 141).
Once you have marked
the frame remove the
opener to drill the holes
(2.5mm drill bit).
Now fix the opener to the
frame using the 2 plates
and 2 washers (diagram
142). You should have
either 19mm or 25mm
screws spare from the
greenhouse frame for this.
Once fixed in place
attached the louvre arm
to the opener and hold in
place with the plastic pop-
on cap (diagram 143).

Now slide the cylinder onto
the shaft attached to the
body of the opener, secure
this in place with 2 grub
screws (diagram 143).
Finally fit the thumb screw
to the end of the cylinder,
adjust this to get the
desired amount of
ventilation (diagram 144).
