First, remove each Retaining Bar from theeach Mounting Strip by unscrewing thenuts from the studs. NOTE: There are 2nut /bolt combinations in the center of eachstrip.

Then place the PVC Strips onto the studs.Replace the Retaining Strips and fastenwith the nuts.

With all the PVC Strips in place, yourSave-T Accordion Strip Door is complete.

After the assembled unit has been mounted using one of the3 mounting methods, the PVC strips must be attached to theAccordion Assembly.

PVC STRIP PLACEMENT

A Velcro® strip should already be attachedto the top of the Support Tube. However,the supplied pressure sensitive Velcro®

will have to be attached to the top of eachBracket and the Back Brace Tube, as wellas the corresponding areas on the coveritself.

Measure and cut both sides of thePVC cover accordingly, to accommo-date the overhead door rail andinside brace plate on the Bracket.Use a utility knife.

Once the Overhead Door Bracket, Accordion Assembly and Side Strips arein place and secured, the PVC cover should be placed over the top of theentire unit to create a substantial ambient air barrier.

NOTE: The method of applying the cover, described here, is quitegeneral since each overhead door and door rail configuration isdifferent for each manufacturer.

First, you must determine which side ofthe mechanism will be anchored to thesliding track and to which side the stripdoor will be drawn. If there are noobstructions, either side can be used.However, if there is an obstruction closeto the edge of the doorway opening,such as a wall or shelving, it would bebest to anchor the mechanism to thatside.

Remove the unit and drill the markedholes with the proper size drill. This is

determined by the material used in theconstruction of the header. If it’s wood, lag

screws can be used. If it’s concrete or concreteblocks, anchored lag screws will be necessary.

If the header is a steel plate, the hangers can beattached by welding.

Move each ofthe hangersslightly left orright, so thehanger will beattached to afirm portion ofthe wall. Markall the hangerplate holes.

Then, place the looselyassembled unit on the walljust above the header. Thebottom edge of the hangerplate should line up with theedge or lip of the header.
