Installation and Preparation

1) Inspect Motor and Idler

Shade motors and idlers are shipped outside of the tube to protect the them from damage. The
ST50 motor and idler should have the crown and drive preinstalled as shown.

Note: The crown can slide on the motor and idler. During installation, the motor crown should be
next to the motor head and the idler crown should be next to the idler retract wheel. If you need
to reposition the crown observe and align the keyways next to the motor/idler head and in the ID
of the crown (not shown) when repositioning.
