a
) Position the screen into
the opening on the active
side of the unit. This will
prevent the stationary
panel from interfering with
the insertion of the screen
panel onto the hanging
screen track
.
b
) Hold the bottom of the
screen away from the bottom
of the sill
(
fig.5 & 5a
)
.
c
) Feed the top rollers of
the screen into the active
opening inside of the top
hanging screen track
.
d
) Hook the rollers into
position in the top screen
track
(
fig.6
)
.
e
) Allow the bottom of the
screen to swing towards the
door sill
(
fig.7 & 7a
)
.
a
) From the interior side
of the screen, raise (retract)
the rollers by turning the
black adjustment screws at
the bottom of the screen
counterclockwise. This allows
sufficient clearance for the
screen to hang vertically over
the bottom track
(
fig.8
)
.
b
) If necessary lift the rollers
manually to set them on the
track. To do this push the
rollers individually up into the
screen frame and lower them
onto the track. A flat screw
driver blade works well for
this
(
fig.9
)
.
c
) Check the top rollers to
make sure they are fully rest-
ing on the top screen track
.
d
) Adjust the bottom rollers
as necessary to ensure:
d1
) The weight of the
screen is on the top track.
d2
) The bottom rollers are
low enough to secure and
guide the screen on the
bottom track
(
fig.10
)
e
) If necessary the height
of the top rollers can be
adjusted by adjusting the
two height adjustment screws
located at the top interior
side of the screen
(
fig.11
)
.
a
) Close the door into the frame
and mark the position to install
the strike
(
fig.19
)
.
b
) Pre-drill two 7/64” holes
into the aluminum frame side
track
(
fig.20
)
. Install the strike
over the holes using the screws
provided
(
fig.21
)
.
Screen comes off the bottom track
a
) Check to see if the sill is “sagging”. This condition will cause the screen to
raise away from the sill and come off the track.
b
) Shim the sill to a level condition.
Screen sticks during operation
a
) If the sill is “crowned” or if the header jamb is “bowed down”, the frame
may be out of square.
b
) Bring the sill to a level position.
b
) Raise the center of the header until it is level.
b
) Square the frame.
