OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR RS38
Rollease Acmeda Brackets and Chain Maintenance
Rollease Acmeda brackets require no maintenance other than the rare repair of a broken chain. If the chain breaks, it can
be repaired by splicing with a chain connector or invisibly spliced by utilizing a pair of Rollease Acmeda Bead-Chain Pliers.
If new chain is required, the length you require is twice the height of the unit less 2 inches.
Rollease Acmeda Manual Clutch Drives are permanently lubricated and do not require maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Do not disassemble the clutch.
STEP 1 - Removing the old control chain:
Hold the clutch by its base. With your other hand, push a small loop of cord up to the front from behind the guard.
With the hand that's not holding the base, bend the cord sharply against the first pulley tooth. Push or pull the cord hard
enough to move the pulley. Use the cord as a handle to pull the pulley all the way around until the cord is completely out of
the pulley.
STEP 2 - Select an appropriate chain length for the shade.
STEP 3 - Insert the new control chain:
Hold the clutch by its base, push up a small loop of the new chain through the chain guard and spin the gear to allow the
chain to get threaded through.
STEP 4 - Installing a chain with a stop:
Align the tube and the housing with the chain stop at the top position.
