It is essential to take accurate measurements of your existing roller tube to select the appropriate adapters. The kit provides options for different tube styles. Pay close attention to your tube's internal diameter.

4.2 Changing Drive Wheel and Crown Adapters

The motor comes with pre-installed adapters. If your tube requires different sizes, you will need to replace them. This process involves removing a C-clip and swapping the components.

Figure 4.3: Step-by-step visual guide for changing the drive wheel and crown for different aluminum tube profiles.

To change the adapters, use a pair of tweezers to disassemble the C-clip. Remove the original 1-3/16" drive fittings and insert the correct 1.5" rubber drive when your shade tube is 1.5". The color of the rubber drive (white or black) may vary.
