nstallation Guidelines For Variable Angle Baypole System (part 2)
6. Cut the aluminium frame adaptor 100mm shorter than the frame height and position it 80mm from the bottom of the frame. Now screw the adaptor to the farme using the two V- grooves as a guide. Screw heads must be tight to the adaptor to avoid interference with the baypole. If yopu have a rebated plasterline projecting (tiles etc.) then you should not fix the final frame adaptor at this stage as you will need to shuffle the frame into position before fixing through the frame into the adaptor.
7. Where rebates and projections are not an issue you can begin to fit the frames. Locate the 'ball' on the aluminium frame adaptor into the socket on the baypole. The frame will need to be perpendicular to the baypole in order to locate the ball into the socket. By pressing the frame tight up against the baypole you can now rotate the frame around, as shown, to butt the cill upstand. As you do so, depending on your bay angle, the frame adaptor and baypole will interlock stopping the frame falling out. If you have not fixed the aluminium to the frame due to obstacles described in stage 4 above, then you must 'shuffle' the frame
into position behind any rebates. Rotate the aluminium and then fix through the frame rebate into the pole adaptor and into the baypole. If you fir the internal PVC-U trim before drilling then it will ensure the pole is centralised while you drill.
8. Fix frame down through the frame into the cill with the frame tight against the cill upstand. Follow normal fixing guidelines in terms of screw tyoes and fixing centres.
9. Repeat stages 7 and 8 for the adjacent frames and hence fit the entire bay.
10. With the adjacent frames in position you must should make a final check of the baypole jack and lock out the locknut onto the capstan.
