is
made
to
extend
out

must
be
removed
in
order
to
close

This
is
to
prevent
leaving
the

blocked
accidentally
after
maintenance
.
Each
mechanism
is
furnished
with
a
blocking
device
and
should
remain
in
the
bottom
of
the
house
since
the
spring
centers
may
differ
from

.
Manual
operation
of
the

should
not
be
attempted
until
the

of
the
