SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The following is the preferred method of installing the opener
2.1 PREPARATION
a. Check the door operation.
i. The door must be smooth to operate by hand.
ii. Operating force on the bottom rail should not exceed 200 Newton's (20kg) force.
iii. Adjust the guides if they are tight or twisted.
iv. Clean the guides if there is any oil or wax present using a suitable white spirit. The
only lubricant suitable for use on door guides is silicon spray.
b. Install locking bar covers if there are locking bar holes in the guides
Note: DO NOT lock your door with the locking bars after installing your opener. Locks
should be disabled (recommend the use of tie wire or cable ties). This will not
affect the ability of your door to lock as the opener has an inbuilt locking facility.
c. The warning labels supplied with this opener should be fitted as appropriate.
d. Choose the end where you will install the opener and ensure there is sufficient sideroom.
(Refer to sideroom requirement – Note: from inside the garage looking out Left is Left).
2.2 FITTING WEIGHT BAR
The weight bar must be fitted to the bottom-centre of the door as follows:
If the door has a handle:
•
Remove the door handle, and
•
Fit the weight bar and refit the handle using the new fasteners provided
If the door does not have a handle:
•
Measure in from both sides of the door to find the
centre of the door at the bottom
•
Place the weight bar at this point (there is a
centreline marked on the weight bar) and mark the
two positions where the fasteners will go.
•
Drill the two 4.5mm holes in the door and fit the
weight bar using the new fasteners provided.
Check that the door is balanced and smooth to operate. If it is not then the door may require servicing (refer to door
manufacturer's instructions).
