Important Install Tip
Risk of product damage (handle with care)
Risk of personal injury:
- Motorized operation
- Electrocution / Fire hazard
- Heavy curtain
- Sharp edges
- Pinch points
- Follow safe working practices
- Heavy lifting may cause bodily harm
- Oversized shutters require 2 or more technicians for safe installation and transportation

(2.1) The opening structure must be adequate to accommodate the weight of the shutter system.
Surfaces should be plumb and smooth to guarantee a parallel alignment of the guide rails. It is
important that you check that the lintel does not bow inwards or have any protrusions that could
push the hood assembly out of alignment. Check that the shutter will not interfere with any opening
doors, windows, protruding door handles, etc.
(2.2) Unbox and inspect all shutter system components, including hardware bag before shutter
installation occurs. (Do not place shutter components on rough or rugged surfaces.)
(2.3)
(2.3) Mark and drill wire lead hole before installing any shutter components.
DO NOT CUT MOTOR WIRE LEAD WITHIN 30cm (12”) OF THE TUBULAR MOTOR
This will damage the antenna which is incorporated into the lead.

overhead clearance place hood assembly
top-down & seat both guide rails firmly onto
both end cap legs located at the bottom of the

(2.7) For surface mount application with no
overhead restriction, level and fasten the guide
rails onto the opening before setting hood
assembly into the guide rails. (This will require a
minimum of 50mm ( 2” ) of overhead clearance
above the height of the hood assembly).

Step 3
Mount Build-Out & Guide Rail Assembly
(3.3) If build-out is applicable, level & fasten
with unprotected side facing the wall in the
following order:
1.)
1.) Vertical build-out with guide rails. Fasten
bottom & second down mounting hole from
the top (this will allow room for minor
adjustment). If the floor is sloping you must
install the high side first.
2.) Horizontal top, bottom and sill build-out.

Sill
Sizes:10mm / 20mm / 30mm / 40mm / 50mm
(3.2) Proper mounting of build-out is subject
to adjacent structure location and condition.
Ensure that fasteners are long enough to
Ensure that fasteners are long enough to
sufficiently penetrate mounting surface for a
secure mount. Some build-out components
do not come pre-attached and will require
independent mounting. Reference shop

Mount Build-Out & Guide Rail Assembly
Step 4
U-Sill, L-Sill or No-Sill
(3.6) Level guide rails plumb & parallel with
unprotected side facing the wall. If the floor is
sloping you must fit the higher side first.
(3.7) Fasten guide rail’s second down from
the top (#1, #2) & bottom (#3, #4) mounting
holes (this will allow room for minor
adjustment).
U - Sill L - Sill L - Stop
(4.1) Adjust bottom width of the guide rails to
the length of the sill to assure optimal shutter
operation.
L-Sills are provided and mounted to the total
outside width of guide rails.
U-Sills are provided and mounted to the interior
span between the guide rails. Drill adequate
weeping holes for water drainage if necessary
(use level to determine).
For No-Sill applications L-Stops will be provided
For No-Sill applications L-Stops will be provided
(installation is optional and dependant on
application).
(3.4) Measure the hood assembly length.
This will give you outside of guide rail to
outside of guide rail dimension.
(3.5) Place marks on the opening where your
guides will line up.

Step 5
Install Hood Assembly
(5.1) 60mm/70mm axles have an adjustable
shaft on the opposite side of the motor.
Check set screw before attaching the hood
assembly.
(5.2) Feed the wire lead through the hood
assemblies's exit port grommet.
(5.3) With assistance feed wire lead through
previously drilled exit hole in the opening and
mount hood assembly by inserting end cap
legs into the guide rails.
(Pinch Points)
(5.4) Verify level, plumb & square, adjust
mounting holes (#1, #2, #3 & #4) to achieve
desired fit. Complete fastening guide rails
ensuring that top fasteners secure hood assembly
to the opening and the guide rails.
(5.5) For specific commercial or oversized
applications you will need to secure hood
assembly to the structure behind. Use
30x30mm L-angle or flat-washers as backing
to secure evenly along the edges every
30-60 cm.

Standard and standard CMO tubular motors require a licensed electrician for completing the
installation procedure.
For outdoor installations a drip loop must be formed on the wire lead to prevent water from
entering the tubular motor.
WARNING (STANDARD, STANDARD CMO)
Incorrect
Do not wire two or more standard LT
motors to one single pole switch. This will
cause the motors to malfunction and void
warranty.
Correct
Two motors, double pole switch.
All lead connection must be carried through a UL
certified junction box. Use twist-on wire caps to
secure wire lead connections.

To control more than 2 motors with 1 switch you
will need to install an Individual Group Control

(8.1) Check for proper motor & limit operation.
(8.5) With customer present
remove protective foil and
install plug buttons or round
attachment profile (RAP).
(8.6) Clean shutter assembly using a microfiber
cloth & mild detergent (409).
(8.4) Ensure that all opening gaps are sealed with
silicone to avoid water penetration. For exterior
applications, a rain drip cap is recommended.
(Not provided.)
(8.3) Re-install front hood

(8.2) Inspect all components of the hood
assembly:
- Ensure bearings are fully seated.
- Anti-Push-Up mounts are spaced evenly (1
hanger for every 30cm – 50cm span (12”-20”)).
- Axle has less than 3mm (1/8”) play side to side.
- 60/70mm Axle bolt set screw is tight.
- No debris inside the guide rails.
- No debris inside the guide rails.
- Ensure that shutter operates without binding or
rubbing. (Roll curtain up and down a few times,
this procedure will centre the curtain within
the guide rails and hood assembly).
- Check all fasteners holding the unit to the
building structure.
Finalize Installation & Customer Inspection

p. 14
You are all done. Please don't hesitate to
contact us with any questions or concerns. A
properly installed shutter will operate
trouble-free for many years to come. Should
a replacement part be required, refer to the
limited lifetime warranty for more information.
Failure to follow these installation instructions could result in damage or injury. This installation guide
is tailored to an experienced installer and assumes basic understanding of construction rules,
regulations and mounting techniques. Do not climb or stand underneath the shutter system at any
time.
Step 8
Finalize Installation & Customer Inspection
(8.7) After installation, shutter end-user
should be trained how to properly operate the
shutter system in a safe manner to avoid
damage or injury. The shutter should only be
operated when in view. User should ensure
there are no objects or persons in the
opening before and during operation.
WINTER CONDITIONS
During freezing conditions, ensure the curtain and guide rails are clear of any ice or snow buildup
During freezing conditions, ensure the curtain and guide rails are clear of any ice or snow buildup
before operation. Operating shutter with frozen debris attached to the curtain or guide rails may
cause damage to the roll shutter system. Additionally use caution, do not roll up a wet shutter curtain
when freezing conditions may be imminent as dropping temperatures could freeze the water on the
coiled curtain with ice inside the box housing. If the shutter is not operating smoothly during freezing
conditions, never force the shutter up or down.
Maintenance Instructions
With the shutter in the completely open position, use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the
With the shutter in the completely open position, use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the
inside of the guide rails. Spray the inside of the guide rails with DRY GRAPHITE or DRY SILICONE
SPRAY ONLY. DO NOT use any oil-based lubricants such as WD-40. Dampen cloth with the
silicone spray and wipe down the outside of the hood assembly, the exterior of the guide rails and
universal joint if applicable. This procedure should be performed once a year.
Warranty for this product shall only be granted if:
• The installation is carried out by a certified and competent installer following these instructions.
• Only original OEM parts are used.
• Only original OEM parts are used.
• No additional foreign objects are attached to the shutter system.
• Regular maintenance checks are performed.
