12.2. Installing the arms
1) Install the rollers at the end of the arms and tighten rollers
slightly with two 8 mm wrenches.
According to the roller’s installation, the arm becomes
the left arm or right arm.
2) Position the hexagonal hole of the arm opposite the
motor output shaft.
To observe the direction of installation of the arm, the
roller must face upwards.
3) Tighten the assembly with the screw and the washer o
to drive in the arm.
It is necessary to use the washer.
4) Place the covers a on the screw heads (supplied).
5) Place the arms in half-open position using the RTS
control point.
12.3. Installing the sliders on the panels
1) Slide the sliders kover the arm rollers.
In order to observe the direction of installation, the
sliders must be positioned with the channel facing
downwards.
2) Push the end pieces jinto the ends of the sliders.
3) Using a spirit level, you must centre the sliders horizontally
on the width of the panels.
Installation with batten: using a spirit level, you must
position the sliders horizontally such that they touches
the outer edge (the one opposite the hinges) of each
panel. The end pieces of the sliders jmust not
protrude beyond the panel.
4) Fix the sliders on the panels through the holes of the end pieces using pop rivets mfor PVC and
Aluminium shutters or using wood screws (not supplied) in other cases.
The pop rivets supplied with the slider end pieces should be used only for PVC or aluminium
swing shutters.
In the case of wooden swing shutters, to avoid the risk of the sliders being pulled out, the choice
of screws is under the sole responsibility of the installer.
