OPERATION: Retracting the Wall System
1. To retract the wall system, insert the removable wrench into an escutcheon plate located on the face
of the trail panel and rotate to release the Expander mechanism.
2. Gently pull the panels until they separate from the adjacent panel. Slowly push them back to the stack
area. Then fold the panels in the retracted position and push into the stack.
3. Disengage the Operable Bottom Seal from the next set of panels by inserting the removable wrench
into the opening located in the edge of the panel. Rotate the wrench to RETRACT the Bottom seal.
Continue rotating wrench until mechanism is fully retracted into the panel.
4. Gently pull the panels until they separate from the
adjacent panel. Grasp the edge of the Hinged Pair
panel group on both faces and walk toward the stack
end. When they reach the storage location, fold the two
panels together and slowly push them back into the
stack area.
5. Repeat the same routine until all the panels have been
removed from the set up location.

HINGED PAIR ALUMINUM TRACK
The Track System is extruded from aluminum and should require only
annual cleaning of the inside flanges. Every six months check the overall
track condition for smoothness and proper alignment. Then lubricate the
inside bottom flange with “Sil-Glyde”.

feature capable of supporting up to 425 lbs. of total live load weight per

load weight per panel. As an option, KWIK-WALL also offers 850 Steel
Track constructed of durable powder-coated, off-white finish and is
