Rolscreen Cartridge Assembly (Continued):
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.
