• End guides and screw bushes should not be over tightened to impede the smooth operation of the bars.
• Final adjustment should be made upon installation to ensure positive engagement of bars or rods into keeps.
• All moving parts should be lightly lubricated twice per year and surfaces wiped with a clean cloth.
