Hanging Patriot Case

General:

When locating fl ag and checking clear ance for op er a tion, remember fl ag is
not centered in case: see di men sion al drawings on reverse. All installations
should observe these important criteria:
➀ Unit should be positively and securely sup port ed so that vibration or even
abusive pulling will not weaken in stal la tion.
➁ Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface.
➂ Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is com-
plete. Be sure the access door opens freely for adjustments and service.
➃ Vertical (banner) fl ags have two mounting brackets; horizontal fl ags have
three. Brackets should be located along case to line up with supporting
beams or studding. Left hand bracket is normally secured just to right of
access door and right hand bracket about one foot from right end of case.
Please Note: Mount the case using the two end brackets fi rst. If a center
bracket is provided, mount it last. The center bracket is designed to
prevent sagging of the case, and must be mounted so that it is level with
the others and does not force the screen case up.
➄ Horizontal fl ags with three brackets must be mounted so that center bracket
is level with the others and does not force the case upward or downward.
➅ Do not use the case to support adjacent sections of ceiling.
➆ If trim pieces must be attached to case, do not permit screws to pro trude
through ¾" wall of case. Do not attach trim with nails.
➇ If case is painted, slot must be shielded to protect fl ag from paint splatters
and overspray.
➈ Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and
fl ag has been operated successfully. Flag must always be installed level so
that it will unroll correctly.

Wall Installation—

Brackets should fasten to studding or other structural supports within wall that
are capable of supporting weight of fl ag (310 lbs).

Suspended Installation—

Chains should be attached to solid beams or rafters above unit. If possible,
mounting brackets should be positioned so chains hang vertically. Turnbuckles
should be connected between chains and mount ing brack ets. After the unit
has been suspended, turnbuckles should be ad just ed so that fl ag hangs level.

Recessed Installation—

Recess should be constructed to fi t case with brackets (see "Case
Dimensions" on back page). Design recess so that entire bottom of case is
un ob struct ed to permit access to bottom panel, roller and fl ag for servicing if
required.

Installation/Operating Instructions
Patriot Motorized Flag by Draper
Caution
Printed in U.S.A.
Unit operates on 110-120V, 60 hz. AC current.
Units are shipped with internal wiring complete, with all switches (fully boxed)
and a wiring diagram. Wire con nect ing unit to switch (or switches) and switch
to power supply should be supplied by installer or electrician. Wires should be
connected following the wiring diagram provided, and all wiring should comply
with local and national electrical codes.
All operating switches should be "Off" before power is con nect ed.
Flag limit has been factory set and should not nor mal ly require further
ad just ment. However, if you desire to change the "up" and "down" stop ping
positions, proceed as follows:
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in "off" position before ad just ing limit
switch es. Always be pre pared to shut unit off man u al ly when new ad just ment
is being tested. Unit may be se vere ly dam aged if fl ag is al lowed to run too far
up or too far down.
Adjusting "fully up" position — "Up" limit switch is located on right side of
limit switch assembly, immediately behind access door to case. Right hand,
hex head machine screw contacts limit switch button to shut unit off. Turning
this machine screw clockwise will allow fl ag to run farther up into case. Turning
it coun ter clock wise will cause fl ag to stop sooner, farther out of the case.
Adjusting "fully down" position — "Down" limit switch is located on left
side of limit switch assembly, immediately behind access door to case. Left
hand, hex head machine screw contacts limit switch button to shut unit off.
Turning this machine screw clockwise will allow fl ag to run farther down before
stop ping. Turning it counterclockwise will cause fl ag to stop in a less ex tend ed
position. At no time should fl ag be unrolled far enough to expose any part
of the roller. Make all adjustments in small in cre ments, and be sure nut on
machine screw is tight against steel limit switch support before closing access
door.
Please Note: When installing a Patriot with a vertical OR
horizontal United States fl ag, please be sure the blue fi eld
with stars is located in the upper left hand corner (as seen
from the front). See instructions on Position and Manner
of Display of U.S. Flag on page two prior to installation."
