Special tools needed:
Bondus type hex ball point tip Allen 7/32
Roller Chain tensioner
Roller Chain breaker
1 7/8” open end wrench
15/16 Bent Wrench for trolleys
Steel Banding Snips.
Chop Saw 15” Makita or substitute.
Install track:
Note all drop rod locations brackets and mounts. Include square nuts for all attachments
Install track sections A, E, F, and D in that order. D section is a trim to fit. You will need a 15”
Chop saw. Caution slide steel band out of the way of cut and trim with snips. If you do not
have a 15” saw, cut face of track first and follow with a top cut to smooth even cut.
Do not use an abrasive blade or band saw!
Install #50 roller chain glide(s). Look for holes on side of track opposite of reference side.
Install #50 roller chain. Loosen the trunnion bolt on drive sprocket and slide sprocket
assembly toward middle of wall. Loop chain over the lead end of wall, pulling toward the
middle of track. Tie off with wire on a threaded rod so chain does not fall back towards
ground. Install paddle link facing outboard toward the reference side. Pull other end of
chain over the glide rod(s), the return sprocket, and over lap the staring end of chain.
Using a chain puller pull chain tight to where it hangs less than 12 inches under track
throat. Break chain install master link and add pin to paddle link. Tighten chain using
trunnion bolt and lead sprocket to where chain is hanging at least 1“ inside of throat of
track. Lead sprocket should reside approx middle of slot. Temporarily set limit switches at
location noted on shop drawing.
See instructions on page 9 for Model 3050 Half Panel Interlock Limit Switch Installation
Instruction.
Note service location of ceiling dropouts on both ends of wall. See drawings for
recommended size. You will need to have access to both ends of the wall above track to
finish installation of panels.
Take field measurements.

Wiring:
All wiring would be by others and a qualified Electrician will need to provide correct power
supply, conduits, and gang boxes per wire diagram of wall.
A separate disconnect is required for operator, optional automatic closure, and optional
guardian systems as required. Please see print as noted.
Optional Guardian unit, lead edge, mats will be shipped from Kwik-Wall with panels.
Install ½ panel:
Use laser to mark X location for bearing plate. Oblong slots and set screws are for left or right
side plumb adjustment. Install wiper sweep per orientation of print. Position bearing plate
directly under center pivot arm and bolt to floor. Lift ½ panel into place with pivot arm bolt
sliding into top of panel, bottom pivot adjustment shaft will set into bearing. Adjust
threaded shaft raising bottom of panel to 2” above finished floor. Lock adjustments and
replace ½ round cap. Swing pivot to insure that it moves freely.
Install panels:
Lower escapement drop out. Load panels one at a time into track in reverse order. Note lead
trolley orientation with extra length point away from stack.
All floating trolley panels must be oriented with the slot of floating trolley is facing towards the
lead edge of the panel. Reversing this orientation will cause the wall to bind.
(If lead panel has an automatic floor seal then mark screw locations bottom seal and remove
automatic bottom seal prior to placing panel in the track.) Replace escapement section of
track.
Pin adjacent panels together, one at a time, starting with ½ panel in stack. With panel flat in
stack remove trolley wire. See page 12 for the wire hook removal. Check for smooth
operation, sliding trolley forward, roll and adjust trolley height. Repeat for all panels.
Attaching chain to lead trolley:
See page 5 “Model 3050 Installation Instructions for Extend & Retract limit switch Positions.
This also covers chain location and lead trolley attachment.

Install # 40 chain:
Pull wall and operate manually. Return wall to stack. Test limit switches prior to
installing chain to insure that they are wired correct. Make sure limit switch
for extend shuts down extend function and limit switch for retract function
shuts down the retract function.
Attach the #40 roller chain from the gear box to the drive sprocket.
Do not install tight and taunt. 2” free movement up and down. This chain
requires a loose fit so that manual or automatic closures will have enough
slack to close wall.
Operate Wall Electrically:
Fine tune limit switches careful not to over extend or over compress wall. Keep
in mind there is some travel of 2 to 3 inches as wall coasts when shut off.
Adjust compensating closure:
Measure distance from lead edge of bulb seal to wall. Mark location for edge of
saddle with masking tape. Adjust expander saddle out to match distance.
Optional Cut to fit Automatic floor seal (if required):
Position wall approx 6’ away from closing. Unpin hinges of lead panel.
Set automatic bottom seal into lead panel with the nose of seal aligning with the
trail edge nose of the aluminum astragal. Mark the wall contact point on
opposite end of the aluminum bottom seal. Add 6 1/16” for amount of push
for the rock over bottom effect. This is the location where you trim the edge.
Cut aluminum bottom and install roller and pop rivets.
Install bottom into panel noting the locations of screws previously marked prior
to removal. The trail edge of auto bottom should be in direct line with the trail
edge of the panel. Replace hinge pins attaching lead panel to wall.
Place strike plate on opposite end of wall for smooth durable contact point.
Test wall for bottom operation.

Optional Lead sensor edge and transmitter (if required):
Set location of lead sensor seal base on the bottom lead edge of lead panel
adjustable compensating extrusion and attach to compensating closure. The
sensor base will cover the adjusting nuts of the compensating closure. Since
closure is previously adjusted this will be fine.
Slide seal into base and attach the two leads of the sensor with the two leads
from the transmitter with wire nuts provided. (Wire transmitter is already
installed in panel and wire leads are ran to edge of compensating closure.)
Pressure test the sensor edge. Alarm should sound.
Reset the fault bottom on the Guardian Box and test with wall running. Wall
should stop operation if sensor has been activated.

Switch Positions
Setting the “Extend & Retract Limit Switch”
1. The “Retract” limit switch is located towards the Hydraulic or Speed Reducer Drive Unit. The
switch should be located approximately 2'-3" [686 mm] (Speed Reducer Drive) or 2'-10" [864
mm] (Hydraulic Drive) away from the “Lead End” of the track. (The limit switch bracket
assembly can be positioned between the first two (2) drop rod locations, if required.)
2. At the Key/Dual Push Button Switch station insert the key and rotate to the "On" position then
press both “Retract” push buttons until the operator shuts off. This should place the “paddle
link” chain member with 2" [51 mm] bolt
attached right at the “Retract” limit
switch arm. (See Illustration #1).
Place a mark on lever arm at
point of contact.

3. Place a mark on the “Retract” limit switch lever arm at the point where the “Trip Pin” makes
contact. (See Illustration #1).
4. All of the panels should be in the STACKED position. Make sure the panels are stacked as
tight as possible.
5. Now take a measurement from the front of the LEAD carrier to the front of the 10" [254 mm]
escapement section. This will be Dimension “A” as indicated in Illustration #2. Now take a
dimension from the lead carrier to the opposite permanent wall (or Lead Panel if stacking at both
ends). This will be Dimension “C” as indicated in (Illustration #2).
6. To set
Dimension “B” turn the key to the "On" position at the Key/Dual Push Button station then press
both “Extend” push buttons until the “Limit Switch Trip Pin” backs off equal to the distance of
Dimension “A”. (See Illustration #3).

7. Remove the 10" [254 mm] escapement sections of track. Pull the “Lead” panel out into the
10" [254 mm] escapement area. Remember to put a spacer under the lead panel before the
carrier is disengaged from the track. A side bolt attachment method eliminates the need to
break the chain to install lead trolley. Place bracket over top of chain and install screws into
side of bracket at drop out. Connect the LEAD carrier to the #50 roller chain w/ master links.
8. Re-install the LEAD carrier back into the track and, re-attach the 10" [254 mm] escapement
sections of track.
9. At the Lead Panel take a dimension from the centerline of the track to the LEAD EDGE of the
panel. This will be Dimension “D” as indicated in Illustration #4. From Dimension “C” sub-
tract Dimension “D”. This dimension equals Dimension “E”. (See Illustration #5).

10. From the mark on the “Retract” limit switch measure back to the “Extend” limit switch. This is
Dimension “E”. (See Illustration #5).
11. The "Extend" limit switch should be set to shut the operable wall off as shown in photo #6. At this
point the operable wall system should still be serpentine as shown in photo #7.
12. The limit switches may require a final adjustment. By loosening the cap screw that holds the
bracket assembly to the track you can slide the assembly as needed. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO MAKE SURE THE WALL SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN BY THE LIMIT SWITCHES AND NOT
ALLOWED TO STALL IN THE EXTEND OR RETRACT POSITIONS.

Model 3050 Half Panel Inter-Lock Limit Switch
Installation Instructions.
Introduction:
The half panel inter-lock limit switch is used to prevent the operable wall system from
being “Retracted” before panels #1-3 are partially opened (folded). The inter-lock
switch should only be installed on operable walls that contain the Manual Closure
system.
Step 1.) Before starting the installation
make sure the operable wall is in
the fully extended position.
(Note: panels #1—3 should be
completely flat.) At the “Stack”
end of the operable wall open
the access panel to expose the
top flange of the track.
Step 2.) At the end of the track system is
a steel plate with a 1 1/4”
diameter steel shaft protruding
thru the plate. Using a 9/16”
wrench remove the two (2) front
hex head bolts and washers from the
plate.
Step 3.) Place a 1/2” flat washer on each hole
where the hex headed bolts were
removed from the steel plate. (The flat
washers are used as a spacer for the
inter-lock limit switch bracket.)

Step 4.) Place the aluminum inter-lock
limit switch bracket over the
two (2) steel 1/2” flat washers
and secure the bracket to the
track using 3/8” x 1/12” socket
flat head machine screws
supplied. Use a 7/32” hex-key
to tighten bolts in place.
Step 5.) Remove shaft collar from the 1
1/4” diameter steel shaft. Once
the collar is off of the steel
shaft remove the 3/8” x 3/8” set
screw and install the 3/8” x 2
1/2” set screw supplied. Place
the 1 1/4” PVC spacer
measuring 3 1/4” long over the
1 1/4” diameter steel shaft.
Now slide the 1 1/4” diameter
shaft collar back on the steel
shaft. (Note: Make sure the 1
1/4” diameter steel shaft did
not slip down when the shaft
collar was removed earlier. Try
pulling up on the shaft to make
sure it is tight.) Rotate the 1
1/4” shaft collar so the 3/8” x 2
1/2” set screw lines up with the
keyway grove machined in 1
1/4” diameter steel shaft.
