, and then assign it to the person responsible for the maintenance and inspection program. If you require additional copies of this manual, please call Porter Athletic Equipment Co. The safest equipment can be damaged when used by the untrained. We suggest that qualified personnel supervise all utilized equipment.
“DOWN” position with curtain fabric oriented vertically, or if the limits are allowing the curtain to rise higher than the top of the curtain fabric, contact your Porter dealer immediately. Again, the safest equipment can be damaged when used by untrained personnel. It is imperative the procedures and guidelines set forth in this manual are strictly observed.
BATTEN TUBE ASSEMBLY Begin by referring to the installation drawing for the batten tube section dimensions/layout. Assemble batten tubes per dimensions utilizing the 2’-10” lg. splice tube at each connection location. A total of twelve (12) pop rivets are used to connect the batten tubes at each splice location.
FABRIC INSTALLATION Fabric installation requires a minimum of two people for installing the upper and lower curtain panels to the batten tube - One person to pull the panel through the cord slot, and the other person to help guide the panel into the cord slot. If pulling the panel requires more than a moderate amount of force, a solution of soap and water can be applied to the panel cord pocket to reduce the friction.
Refer to the installation drawing for dimension/details on upper support tubes. Start upper support tube assembly by inserting the swaged end of first tube completely into the plain end of the second tube. Drill two (2) 13/64” dia. holes and secure the connection with two (2) pop rivets.

The torque motor drive ships from the factory completely assembled, ready to install into the batten tube. In addition, the torque motor drive’s drive tube alignment is preset at the factory. Field adjustment should not be required. Start by referring to the installation drawing for the motor location (drive end).

Machined Crown Installed on Motor Motor with Drive Tube Installed Torque Motor Installed in Batten Tube FIGURE D (Wall Guide Operation) · Torque Arm Type Installation (No. 2082 Single Motor Curtains Only) Torque arm drive assembly installation can be performed after the curtain is suspended, but if space limitations do not provide adequate clearance when the curtain is suspended, the torque arm drive assembly must be installed prior to hanging the curtain.
Refer to the installation drawing for details. The recommended method of raising the curtain to the support structure is by utilizing the Porter No. 02080-INS installation kit. The kit consists of a set of rope, pulleys, clamps and rope ratchet mechanisms. The kit provides a block and tackle type mechanical advantage, along with a ratchet type lock to prevent the curtain from falling while it is being raised.
FIGURE F ROPE & RATCHET ATTACH TO OVERHEAD SUPPORT ROPE RATCHET ASSEMBLY 3/8" DIA. ROPE PULL-UP END OF ROPE PULLEY CURTAIN UPPER SUPPORT TUBE PIPE CLAMP Rope Hoist Rigging Detail 11. CORD REEL MOUNTING The retractable cord reel assembly is located at the drive/motor end of the curtain. The cord reel assembly is typically attached to the support structure with the retractable cord directly above and in line with the motor counter-torque device’s electric junction box.
CORD REEL ASSEMBLY 12. TORQUE ARM BELT TIE-OFF (No. 2082 Curtains Only) The torque arm belt is attached either to the overhead steel or to a provided cantilever arm weldment. Regardless of attachment, the position of the belt tie-off is critical. The belt must be attached directly above (preferably above the curtain attachment height) and in line with the outer edge of the torque arm roller.
First, it is necessary to connect the power reel 4-prong plug to the mating receptacle located near the reel assembly. If the receptacle has not been installed, an electric operation test kit (02080-PWR) is available from Porter. Next, remove the yellow plastic limit switch cover and push the torque motor limit switches in the down and locked position.
FIGURE I Torque Arm (No. 2082 Curtains Only) The torque arm drive must be installed and positioned as described in step # 8. Before proceeding with the test, verify that the torque arm drive is properly positioned (i.e. torque arm is in horizontal position, approximately ninety degrees to floor surface). After verifying the torque arm drive position, the assembly is ready to be operated.
GENERAL Make certain the Porter key switch is not substituted and is located within full view (but not beneath) the divider curtain. Check the walls in close proximity to the curtain for any type of protrusion that may interfere with the raising or lowering of the unit (i.e., new scoreboard, chinning bars, etc.).

® CENTER-ROLL BATTEN TUBE All splice locations and rivet fasteners are to be inspected for structural integrity. Ensure the splices are tight with no noticeable free play between the batten tubes. Inspect each splice rivet for a tight secure connection and for flush fit with batten tube. In addition, carefully inspect the rivets securing the motor drive to the batten tube, also checking that the rivets are tight with no free play or protrusions.
