Product Information

The Traverse Single Splice is a system designed for mounting and
operating drapery. It can accommodate a maximum fascia and track
width of 36 feet when spliced together. The system can support
drapery with a maximum weight of 110 lbs. Additional brackets are
required for each side of the splice when used.

The system includes basic components such as the bracket,
splice, return pulley (for one-way draw track), drive pulley (for
center draw track), and a slim drapery motor with a Li-ion battery.
The system is packaged with foam, shrink wrap, and other packing
materials to ensure the components remain in place during
shipment.

Product Usage Instructions

Carefully unbox the system, leaving all packaging materials in

Remove all packaging material from the Track, ensuring the
Drive Belt stays in place inside the Track.
Bring the Track sections together by pushing the Track onto the
Splice and moving the Master Carrier forward. Make sure the Drive
Belt remains tight and straight inside the Track and is not pinched
as the splice sections move forward.

To complete your system, assemble the Master Carrier Arm. Then
move the master carrier the full length of track 2 to 4 times to
