Install Cable Guide Brackets And Cables - SunSetter Solar-Powered EasyShade Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Install Cable Guide Brackets and Cables

CAUTION: The installation procedure for the Solar-
Powered EasyShade includes the use of cable guides
to stabilize the extended solar screen fabric panel
during normal use . If your application does not
permit the installation of the necessary cable guides,
or you do not plan to install them, you must use
additional care to prevent damage to your product .
While we do not recommend installing the Solar-
Powered EasyShade without the supplied cable
guides, some customers may determine that their
application does not have a vertical surface to install
the supplied cable guides as instructed .
10. Unroll the vinyl coated guide cables located at
each end of the aluminum housing assembly,
and allow them to hang flat against the mounting
surface (see Figure 10).

cable guide holes at each end of the aluminum
leading bar at the bottom of the solar screen
fabric panel (see Figure 11).

12. Determine how far down your EasyShade will
be extended (this is limited to the length of
the vinyl coated cable, but you can not exceed
84" (7') from the bottom of the EasyShade
housing). Mark a horizontal line on the wall
where you would like the EasyShade to stop
when fully extended, aligned with each end of the
EasyShade housing assembly (see Figure 12).

13. Using the vinyl coated cable as a guide, ensure
the cable is straight and plumb (using a level)
and mark a vertical line (see Figure 13) where
it crosses the horizontal line made in Step 12.
Cable guide brackets must be mounted on the
same vertical plane as the EasyShade housing.

14. Locate the cable guide brackets and cable guide
stops in your hardware package.
15. Align the top of the cable guide brackets below
the horizontal line and centered on the vertical
lines as shown in Figure 14. Ensure the bracket
is plumb and on the same vertical plane as the
aluminum housing above, then mark both screw
hole locations. Remove the bracket and pre-drill
both screw hole locations with a 1/8" drill bit.
Repeat for the other side of the EasyShade.
