Step By Step Instructions
Adjusting the Ropes
When closing the cover, if both sides of the
cover don’t close squarely, one of the ropes
may need to be adjusted. To adjust the
rope, open the cover all the way. Pull the
excess rope off the rope reel.
If one of the ropes is longer than the other
rope, loosen the set screw that secures the
rope to the rope reel lug. Shorten this rope
until it is the same length as the other rope.
Re-attach the rope to the rope reel.
If both ropes are the same length, and the
cover doesn’t close squarely, shorten the
rope for the side of the cover that doesn’t
close all the way. The amount that the rope is
shortened is equal to the amount distance
that the cover needed to travel to close all
the way. While holding the rope, run the
switch in the cover position.
Adjusting the Brakes
There is a brake at the motor and non-motor
end of the mechanism. The brakes are preset
at the factory and should work properly.
If they do not, they should be tightened
enough to prevent the rope from spooling
off the reel as the cover is opening.
If you need to adjust the brakes, first
loosen the jamb nut on the side of the
rope reel mechanism.
To tighten the brake, use an allen wrench
to turn the set screw inside the jam nut in
the clockwise direction.

Adjusting the Torque Limiter
The ATOM Automatic Cover System is
equipped with a torque limiter that helps
prevent damage to the mechanism. Adjust
the torque limiter so it is tight enough for the
cover to operate correctly, but loose enough
that it will slip as needed.

To adjust the torque limiter, use a 9/16”
wrench to tighten the first tension bolts. It is
important that the bolts are tightened
equally.
If further adjustment is needed, tighten
the 4 bolts in equal increments 1/4 turn at
a time.
