Use drawings on back page as reference throughout installation.
Headboxes and side channels must be installed level and square.

Installation Preparation

Arrange pieces on floor in the general manner they are to be installed. All
four corners are color coded by tape for easy matching.
Remove covers from both headboxes (see Fig. 1).
Remove spring roller from its headbox. The one-notch spring roller is pre-
tensioned and the dog is locked in the notch.
Remove roller/motor assembly from its headbox by removing the black
plastic retainer clip at the idler end and the retainer pins from the motor
end. Take the idler end out of its bracket, then slide the motor end off the
motor studs on the endcap (see Fig. 2). Keep all retainer clips and pins.
