F. Add tension to the retraction spring: Locate the

slotted end of the screen assembly; to set the

tensions - use a flat blade screwdriver to turn the

spring assembly in the direction of the arrows.

Depending on the width unit, the number of turns

(full rotations) required to re-tension when the

tension is released will vary:

Units with frame width of 20-3/4" or less require 11

turns for re-tensioning.

Units with frame width > 20-3/4" require 27 turns for

re-tensioning.

After the final rotation, turn the screwdriver back

slightly until resistance is felt indicating the spring

tension will hold. If resistance is felt immediately do

not force it back any further because the tensioning

mechanism could be damaged by too much force.
