Position curved door arm into door bracket channel so that short end of arm will be attached to door bracket. See Fig. 25. Curved door arm should be attached roughly at the same height as the top rollers of the door.

Align curved door arm and bracket holes, then insert clevis pin through holes. Attach cotter ring to hold pin in place.

Align straight arm and curved arm. Position arms so that at least two sets of holes line up. Select two overlapping holes as far apart as possible and secure arms together with hex bolts (5/16-18) and lock nuts.

B. ALL ONE-PIECE DOORS:

Curved door arm should already be attached to trolley in place of straight door arm. See Fig. 18, p. 10.

Position free end of curved arm into door bracket slot. Align curved door arm and bracket holes, then insert clevis pin (5/16” dia.) through holes. Attach cotter ring to pin to hold in place. See Fig. 26.
