Installation in general

Check the dimensions of the element and wall opening, and the dimension of the window respectively. Measure the dimension of the cable duct for the drive system at the box and provide the appropriate wall or window duct.

1. Push the guide rails onto the struts until the stop position is reached. Do not damage the slat guiding nipples. Make sure that the guide rails are at the same height.
2. Screw down the countersunk screws to fix the box to the guide rail.
3. Hold the unit to the mounting base, adjust it, and mark the boreholes through the guide rails on the mounting base.
   • Provide the boreholes according to the mounting material to be used. Put the motor cable through the wall or window duct already provided and fix the element to the structure.
4. Place the covering caps in the boreholes in the guide rails.

Installation of the guide rail insert

• Press the guide rail insert into the chamber of the guide rail.
• Move the guide rail insert over the slat guiding nipples towards the top. (A slight bending of the guide rail insert eases the installation.)
• All slat guiding nipples must be placed inside the guide rail insert.
• The recess areas in the guide rail insert must be at the bottom side. (Locking with pins of the guide rail covering cap.)

Mounting the installation lug

• The enclosed fastening lugs serve as an additional safeguard of the plaster base box and suppress the formation of cracks in the plaster.
• Depending on the installation situation, screw the installation lugs to the box and the surrounding brickwork.
• Lift the box slightly at the front before mounting the installation lug.
• If the installation lug is bended, mount the self-drilling head screw and the screw for the mounting base as near as possible to the wrapping of the installation lug.
• The distance between the self-drilling head screw and the upper edge of the box should be as small as possible.
