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 Riga’s) or can be made, they are not a standard part from the Riga manufacturer.

Auto Opener and Piston Troubleshooting: How does the auto opener and piston work? The black piston cylinder is filled with a mix of oils that naturally expand around 73 degrees. As the oil expands, it will begin to push out the rod of the piston and open your window. The springs and the weight of the window will pull it shut when the temperature drops.

H H ow does the Cylinder warranty work? 1) Coverage Your cylinder is covered for years from the year that is stamped on the cylinder. 2) How to test if your cylinder is defective or not? 1) Prepare a bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water. 2) Put the cylinder in the bucket of cold water for around 10 minutes and then push the piston pin in as far as it will go.

If you have both an intake shutter vent and exhaust fan, you will want them to be opposite/diagonal from each other to get the best cross-breeze. Plug the fan into the thermostat (optional) to control when it turns on. If you are using both a shutter vent and an exhaust fan you will need to purchase a plug splitter and plug them both into the thermostat.

You will want your intake shutter vent to be opposite from your exhaust fan (i.e. opposite wall and lower part of the greenhouse) to get the best cross-breeze. They should both be plugged into the thermostat with a plug splitter to engage them simultaneously.
