FAQs

Q: Can I install the mosquito net on uneven surfaces?
- A: The mosquito net must always be installed on even surfaces for proper functionality.
Q: Do I need to purchase screws separately for installation?
- A: The kit supplied by PORTOS does not include screws or screw anchors, so you will need to have these available for installation.

Before any mosquito net installation works, read the following installation manual. All and any changes or modifications to the structure of the mosquito net are permissible only after prior consultation with the manufacturer. The mosquito net must always be installed on even surfaces. The mosquito net shall be installed only by competent personnel, properly trained in OHS rules and applicable construction laws. Directly before installation, the mosquito net shall be unpacked and checked for completeness of all parts necessary for its installation.

Tools Required

Tools necessary for the installation of the mosquito net:

Drill-driver
Drilling machine with a set of drill bits
Allen wrench 4mm
Pencil

The kit supplied by PORTOS excludes any screws or screw anchors. At the stage of installation, particular attention shall be paid to the cords of the pleated mosquito net. The cords must be of equal length, must be arranged parallelly and must never be twisted together. This is crucial for correct mosquito net installation works.

Assemble a mounting frame using frontal profiles (1) and connectors (2).
Drill the mounting holes every 50 cm in upper frontal profiles (at least 3 holes per profile): use the 4.2 mm drill bit, drill through both walls of the profile, next drill with the 7.5mm drill bit through 1 wall.
Fit the prior prepared mounting frame in the right installation position, between the guides, under the ZF3000-BX box (1). Fasten to the window frame (2) by inserting screws through the prior made holes and tightening them.
Lay the upper slat of the mosquito net (1) over the internal part of the upper profile of the mounting frame (2). Fix the slat to the frame (3) using screws.
Connect the two bottom slats using the cord lock (1). The bottom slats shall be attached to the surface underneath by using the adhesive tape at the slat bottom.
Drill the mounting holes in the lateral profile of the mosquito net through the profile and the magnet (1), using the 3.5 drill bit. The holes shall be drilled at every 50 cm and there shall be at least 3 holes in each profile. The bottom part of the profile shall be ended with the end cap (2).
First, insert the lateral profile ended with the end cap in the bottom slat (1) by sliding the end cap into the slat, next slide the profile towards the mounting frame at the recess side and make sure that the upper part of the lateral profile gets fitted into the upper profile (2). Fix the lateral profile ended with the end cap to the guide of the blinds (3), using the 3,9×38 self-drilling screw.
Start the installation of the mosquito net package by inserting the bottom part of the profile into the protruding mandrel of the bottom end cap on the lateral profile. Holding the package, remove the protection (paper tape) before unfolding the mosquito net.
Stretch the bottom cords of the mosquito net. Make sure they do not get entangled, twisted, or bundled. Put cord ends (1) in the cord lock of the bottom rail (2). Stretch the upper cord (3) so that the bottom cord gets properly tensioned and blocked (4). Properly place the upper cords. Pay particular attention and make sure that they are not entangled, twisted, or bundled. As shown in Figure 5, slide the element of the cord lock (6) through the milled hole in the upper rail in such a manner…
…that the lock end (1) is exactly in the middle of the upper rail. Fix the lock by tightening the socket head screws (2).
Insert the second lock (2) in the same milled hole (1) in the upper rail, and slide the lock in the direction opposite to the first lock (3), this way, you will stretch the mosquito net cords. Fix the lock by tightening the socket head screws (4).
Check if the mosquito net works properly. If high resistance is felt during the sliding motion, decrease the tensioning of the cords, as presented in point 11. The second package of the mosquito net shall be installed on the opposite side following the same instructions as given for the first package, i.e. following the steps explained in points 8-11.
