Fiammi adjustment

[Plasticman]

ok got a 45i
working great for the last few years but recently when winding it in i get to the point where the ally part tries to lock back into the main body and it would appear to be too far fwd by 1/4", so i have to sort of tap it / poush it in then carry on winding the last few inches till it locates fully home
any links to adjusting these

If you mean one side shuts tight before the other.
You can, when wound out fully put some sticky tape on the surface of the side you require "drawing in".
This increases the surface area and makes that side wind faster.

E D I T !! OR YOU CAN DO IT PROPERLY. See below

ta Andy ,but it was perfect one min ute then this, this shows the under frame as its winding in

note the fwd arm is lagging
and from the outside


if i reach in prior to this last stage and manualy move the fwd arm in then it closes

thats inded a good link , have saved it.. but..................
thats not the problem, it winds in perfect till the last 9" then the fwd of the 2 bars underneath slows and stops so it then seems to oivot around this and hence lags on the fwd end , I was looking for a cutaway/parts type exploded diagram to show the workings then its dead easy to deduce what and why, suppose i will take it to bits and sort in my own way . not an urgent problem but one for the list of jobs to do..

One of the repair and adjustment video's on Fiamma site might help you?

Mike , have you wound it right out , like until the 'arm are out as far as they will go , the fabric will go 'baggy' ,then try winding it back in slowly
could be that theres crap on the top of the fabric and in the mech

ah thats a ghood link,m needs c opy in the wiki..
no my problem is not covered there,
mine winds in fine but its like the whole of the ally part that the blind is fixed to is a qurter inch too fasr fwd and it hits the main part of the awning.
i thoink a clean and lube and such will do it, i will take detailed pickies when i do and post up.
