Automatic window opener
for JUWEL cold frames and
greenhouses
Art. no. 20047
Components:
A) Cylinder
B) Lever assembly with two springs
C) Hardware kit
The cylinder contains a liquid
expanding contracting in conse-
quence of the temperature and thus
moving the piston rod. ATTENTION:
The inside of the cylinder is under
pressure – do not block the opening
of the piston rod, do not try to open
the cylinder and do not expose the
opener to heat. Maximum opening
weight 7 kg!
Warranty: A correctly fitted and
used opener is guaranteed one full
year, based on date of purchase as
per dealer‘s receipt.
Maintenance: All moving parts
should be lubricated from time
to time by smearing the cylinder
threads and piston shaft with a little
vaseline.
Installation: As per Fig. 1 please
install spring (8) to limit opening.
Take the cylinder and insert the
piston rod (1) through the threaded
cylinder housing (3) into the
receptacle in part (2). Screw the
cylinder into the cylinder housing
(3), adjust the hole of the piston
rod to the first borehole of the
receptacle in part (2) and secure
with the smaller of the 2 pins (4).
Remove the frame bracket (5) by
squeezing the forks together (fig.
2) and mount it from inside on the
panel of the frame, 45 mm below
the aluminium edging on top of
the panel, near to the mid-point
of one of the top covers. With the
bracket held in place, pierce two
holes through the polycarbonate
by means of an ice-pick of spike,
then insert two screws from inside
an screw them into the threaded
metal fittings held on the outside.
The swivelling cover bracket (6)
has to be mounted to the underside
of the cold frame top cover with a
distance of 40 mm from the edge
and near the mid-point (fig. 3). Now
attach the bottom of the Opener to
the lower bracket by squeezing the
lower forks (7) together. Make sure
the top cover does not stick and can
be easily moved.
Adjustment: Turn the cylinder
CLOCKWISE for the Opener to
begin opening at a lower tempera-
ture, turn the cylinder COUNTER-
clockwise for it to begin opening
at a higher temperature and result
in a narrower full-opening. Each
full turn accounts for about half a
centigrade.
