If you are missing a box or if any of the boxes are damaged - write this on the Bill of Lading before the driver leaves. Notify Exaco as soon as possible if any of the boxes are damaged or missing.
Important note regarding polycarbonate glazing during assembly: The ISO-celluar sheets (polycarbonate glazing) must be placed with the UV-coated side to the outside. On the protective film, there will be a corresponding note indicating "UV" or "2UV", most panels should be coated on both sides, but if you are unsure, please give us a call. Loosen the protection film only at the edge and the complete rest of the foil only after the panel is securely in place.

Automatic Window Opener opener frame pressure cylinder cotter pin mounting plate window profile mounting plate cross bar Auto Opener Installation Check whether the greenhouse window can open and close freely and unhindered. Install the opener with the mounting plate (4) in the center of the lower roof window profile (pos 4.2) Secure the cylinder by lining up the hole in the piston with the upper hole in the T-coupling, then insert the cotter pin.

Riga Greenhouse Window Auto Opener Correct Installation In the correct position, the opener is sitting parallel to the window, which means that it will not demand a lot of pressure from the cylinder when the opening starts. Before fitting a new cylinder to the openers, you must check that the window can open freely right from the start.

If you get strong wind gusts, we recommend protecting your roof vents and openers with restraint cables. Roof vent restraints can be purchased from Exaco Trading (US distributor of Rigas) or can be made. They are not a standard part from the Riga manufacturer.
