Redpath Domestic Tunnel Series Instructions Manual page 11

 With end hoop and base rail secured, - you can 'cut out 'The door and the louvre openings. Be sure to cut the opening on the
correct side of the framework so that you have some film to hold onto and tension whilst you fit the Lockstrip inserts and clips into
the end studs and around the louvre frame
Note: Try to avoid wrinkles in the cover whilst clipping. If you get excessive wrinkles, release the holding system and re-fasten.
'Work" any wrinkles toward the corners if possible.
Note: If the insert "jumps out" in windy conditions – it is possible that the insert has been installed backwards or upside down.
Please check the lockstrip holding system drawing, see (Pic L2) Page 7 for the correct parts assembly final position.
Stage 5. Fitting the louvre window
The louvre mechanism has already been fitted as part of the pre-assembly service by Redpath.
After the tunnel has had its covers fitted - carefully slide the three polycarbonate sheets into each holder. Then fit 1 x 570mm
aluminium strongback across each blade (remove backing tape and adhere to the blade across its centre. This is to stop the
individual blades bending from wind load.
Louvre mechanism is already fitted
Stage 6. Door
Note: Do not fit the door track or the door itself to the building until after the door end wall cover has been fitted.
Fitting the door and door track
1. Place a piece of the Duralock 2 bead on top of the base rail in the door opening to act as a packer.
2. Slide the door track onto the two door rollers that are already attached to the door frame
3. Lift the door track complete with door attached into approximate position (resting it onto the packers)
4. Lift up the door track slightly so that the weight of the door is suspended on the track.
5. Screw through the door track top plate and into the right hand end stud. see (Pic D4 ) below
6. Raise the left hand end of the door track so that the clearance at the bottom of the door is similar on both sides. Place a screw
through the door track top plate at the left hand end stud point.
see (Pic D5) below
7. Remove the lower packer and check that the door slides and clears the base rail.
8. Screw three more screws (evenly spaced) through to the door lintel to fully support the track.
9. Place one screw through to the end hoop at the left hand end of the door track. Check the door sliding action.
10. Place the two door guides each side of doorway.
11. Place a screw through each end of the door track where the door rollers slide to act as a stop for the door rollers so that the
door cannot slide off the track at its ends.
12. Fit the door handle. see (Pic D2) below
Note: If you want the door to slide to the right instead of the left, you will need to modify the pre-set location of the door rollers.
