Larson Retractable Screens provide insect protection and support fresh, natural ventilation in low-wind conditions. Unlike 4-sided rigid framed screens, Larson
Retractable Screens move in and out of a protective cassette and the exposed surface area and edges of the fabric are flexible. Consequently, the wind speed that a
retractable screen can withstand (e.g. before the edges of the screen fabric may push out of the guide rails), will depend on the width and height of the opening, the
openness factor of the specific screen fabric and, other design factors of the model. Retractable screens are not to be kept open or continually exposed to wind, sun,
rain or other harsh conditions. Please be sure to use your retractable screen only during low-wind conditions.

PREPARING THE SCREEN CASSETTE
Insert F-End Cap with Spring into the correct end of the A-Screen Cassette
Assembly [Fig 2A] (the assembly will only fit correctly in one end). Make sure to
line up the spring and bushing notches with one of the small slots in the center
screen tube. Wind the spring clockwise the number of turns designated in the fol-
lowing chart and push the F-End Cap with Spring in place on the A-Screen Cas-
sette Assembly. A rubber mallet is helpful to fully seat the F-End Cap with Spring.
Note that the spring in the cassette is for tension only. You will need to raise and
lower the screen by using the G-End Cap Chain.

Slide one piece of the J-Weatherstrip into bottom slot of D-Pull Bar and the other
piece into the top of A-Screen Cassette Assembly. The O-Weight Bars are already
inserted inside the hollow of the D-Pull Bar. Now insert the E-Pull Bar End Caps
into ends of D-Pull Bar [Fig 2B].
MOUNTING THE SCREEN CASSETTE
Mount the I-Recess Mount Clips to the inside of opening.When installed, the clips
will be centered above the cassette. Install a P - #8x3/4”(19mm) Panhead Screw
into the center of the slot to allow front to back
adjustment [Fig below].
Snap the A-Screen Cassette Assembly into place. Secure the
A-Screen Cassette Assembly in place by screwing the F-End Cap
and G-End Cap to the side jamb of the opening. The I-Recess
Mount Clips and A-Screen Cassette Assembly may be reversed
to face toward the inside or outside of an opening depending
upon which side the Pull Chain needs to be accessible.
NOTE: the I-Recess Mount Clips lower the A-Screen Cassette
Assembly in the opening by 1/4”. The same 1/4” gap should be
left above the F & G-End Caps to avoid bowing the cassette.

FOOT RELEASE LEVER
The K-Foot Release Lever is an optional feature that makes it easier
to slightly rotate the D-Pull Bar in order to disengage the L-Pull Bar
Locks [Fig 4C] without bending over. Before installing, position the
K-Foot Release Lever 16" to 20" from the end of the D-Pull Bar on
the side closest to the Pull Chain. Attach the K-Foot Release Lever
to the D-Pull Bar using two Q - #6 x 3/8” (9mm) Phillips
Panhead Screws.

Windy conditions may affect the performance of a retractable screen. Retract the
screen in windy circumstances, during inclement weather, when not needed to
support immediate ventilation or during prolong periods when not used.
INSTALLING SIDE RAILS
Install the L-Pull Bar Locks at the bottom of each B-Inside Rail. Be sure that the
L-Pull Bar Lock engages the D-Pull Bar as shown in image [Fig 4C]. Slide both
C-Outside Rails onto the tabs protruding from the F and G-Cassette End Caps
[Fig 4A]. Attach to jamb with P - #8x3/4”(19mm) Panhead Screws. Press B-
Inside Rails into C-Outside Rails with the shorter pile to the inside [Fig 4D] until
they are evenly seated [Fig 4B].
Using the height adjustment wheel on the L-Pull Bar Lock, adjust the height to
the appropriate level so that it easily engages the D-Pull Bar. When correctly
adjusted, the latching and unlatching should be smooth and easy.

INSTALLING SIDE RAILS
Install the L-Pull Bar Locks at the bottom of each B-Inside Rail. Be sure that the
L-Pull Bar Lock engages the D-Pull Bar as shown in image [Fig 4C]. Slide B-Inside
Rails onto the tabs protruding from the F and G-Cassette End Caps, with the
shorter pile to the inside [Fig 4D]. Use an 1/8” drill bit and first drill through both
sides of the B-Inside Rails where they are to be fastened. Next, using a 3/8” bit, drill
through the outside face only. This will allow you to snap the N-Screw Cover Caps
in place. Square and attach B-Inside Rails with P - #8 x 3/4”(19mm) Phillips Pan-
head Screws. Insert an N-Screw Cover Cap into each of the access holes that were
drilled on the outside face of the Side Guide Rails.
Using the height adjustment wheel on the L-Pull Bar Lock, adjust the height to
the appropriate level so that it easily engages the D-Pull Bar. When correctly
adjusted the latching and unlatching should be smooth and easy.

Depress the plunger with your fingers and slide the Tension Device down to the
bottom of the chain.
IMPORTANT: When mounting tension device to a wood or metal surface, provided
screws can be driven directly into the mounting surface. When mounting tension
device to drywall, use anchors or fasteners that are designed for such substrates.
Consult your hardware store, building materials retailer, or supplier for guidance
on appropriate anchors or fasteners for your substrate.
Ensure the chain is not tangled or twisted.
RECESS MOUNT INSTALLATIONS
With the narrow end up, pull down on the Tension Device until the Plunger is
compressed half way. With the Plunger compressed, place the Tension Device
against your frame as shown and make a mark through the two screw holes.
SURFACE MOUNT INSTALLATIONS
With the narrow end up, pull down on the Tension Device until the Plunger is
compressed half way. With the Plunger compressed, place the Tension Device
against your frame as shown and make a mark through the two screw holes.
If mounting to wood or metal, drill holes through your marks with a 1/8” drill
bit. Then secure the Tension Device using the provided Phillips panhead screws.
If mounting the tension device to drywall, use anchors or fasteners appropriate
for the mounting substrate and follow anchor or fastener manufacturer’s
instructions.
