---

OPERATING AND CARE OF YOUR SCREEN

• Operation of the screen systems should only be performed by responsible parties.
• Always check the path of the Solo 3 Screen before operating to ensure that the path is clear of furniture or obstacles that could prevent full operation.
• Monitor the Solo 3 Screen for smooth operation through its entire range.
• Operating a Solo 3 Screen unattended may lead to damage from obstructions or other causes.
• Fabric maintenance and cleaning– Solo 3 Screen fabric is subject to debris under normal use or in storage, requiring occasional maintenance and cleaning.
• While fading and wear over time are normal, debris could accelerate this wear.
• Screen fabrics can be cleaned with gentle soap and water.

BEFORE PROCEEDING

Read the instructions in their entirety before proceeding. Actions contrary to the instructions invalidate the warranty and may result in serious damage and/or injury.

Preparing for installation: It is crucial that all installations are planned out carefully before specifying a screen order.

• If drilling through the cassette is required, the cassette must be square or the door will not line up, causing poor operation.
• Electrical work should be performed following appropriate electrical codes and regulations by a licensed electrical professional.
• Use fasteners appropriate for the structure the Solo 3 Screen will be mounted to.
• Do not use any sharp blades when opening the packaging.

INSTALLATION METHODS

Before installation, determine your installation method according to your product order and installation preferences. The indoor Solo 3 675 External may be installed preassembled or separately (fabric tube and material installed after the cassette).

• METHOD 1 – Assembled
• METHOD 2 – Disassembled (Cassette only)

• To ensure best results, read all instructions before assembly.
• Unpacking the box– lay cassette, fabric tube, and material roll on a soft, clean surface during the installation process.
• When removing from the box, ensure the assembly is kept horizontal to prevent damage. • The following section, Mounting, of the indoor Solo 3 675 External instructions applies to ALL installations, regardless of method, determined above.
• When utilizing either method, especially METHOD 1, make certain there are enough installers/ hoisting equipment to safely lift the cassette (and/or material) onto the brackets.
• Brackets must be level and in-line with one another before attempting to lift cassette onto brackets.
• Use safe lifting and rigging techniques.

Method 1

Step 1: MOUNTING - BRACKETS

BEFORE INSTALL– Check upper corners of the opening clearance, as necessary, to prevent interference with the cassette and end caps

• Use appropriate fasteners to mount the ceiling brackets to structural supports.
• Mount brackets between (2–6’’) from the opening ends (additional brackets are intended to prevent cassette sag and should generally be applied to the middle of the cassette).
• All brackets must be in line and level to each other. 
• Ensure the fasteners used are adequate for the weight of the Solo 3 Screen and the structure.

Step 2: MOUNTING - CASSETTE - METHOD 1

Installation requires two or more people and/or hoisting equipment. Please use safe lifting and rigging techniques.

• For METHOD 1, lift and secure assembly onto brackets. Once the bracket engages, the cassette will “click” into place.

MOUNTING – THROUGH BOLTING CASSETTE

• Be careful not to over-torque or aggressively drill retention hardware when mounting the cassette as deformation to the case could occur; this is especially important when ceiling mounting.
• The structure behind the mounting points should be flat and level.
• WARNING! Select a screw or anchor type that has a shallower head profile to eliminate the risk of contact with the screen material roll.
  • Damage to the material caused by anchoring is not covered under warranty.
  • Before starting, ensure the screws or anchors being used are of a quantity, size, and type compatible with the structural substrate you are mounting to, and rated for the weight being carried.
  • Weight can be found on the shipping documents or on the box label.
