Operating Instructions

To Lower Picture Surface
Pull screen down all the way. HESITATE – then allow screen to retract VERY SLOWLY until it locks in place.

To Raise Picture Surface

Pull down on the pull bail, then release quickly. The screen will retract gently into the case.
To Adjust Retraction Speed (Screens 96″ Wide and Under) Use a large flat screwdriver to turn the adjustment knob on the right end of the screen (Figure 5). To increase the travel speed turn counterclockwise. To decrease the travel speed turn clockwise. Adjustments
should be made in half turn increments and travel speed checked before adjusting further.
NOTE: This feature is not available on some large screen sizes. Call the factory for adjustment instructions.
Large picture surfaces are heavy and will start up too slowly to prevent the locking dog from catching unless help is provided, so keep picture surface moving briskly.
Should the locking dog catch, pull the picture surface down about 4 inches and start the surface up rapidly.
