Step 16: Connecting the Door Arm to the Door

Type 1: Door Mounted Bracket

Visually align the door arm connecting hole with the middle hole of the door bracket by rotating the tube section in the appropriate direction.

Release the trolley (leave door arm attached) with the manual release cord and pull trolley toward the power head unit. Now rotate the door arm tube section two turns counterclockwise (increasing the exposed length of the door rod) to provide a cushion when the door is closed or encounters an obstruction. Align connecting hole in the door arm to middle hole in the door bracket; insert 3/8” diameter bolt and tighten locking nut, allowing for free pivot of the arm. Note: Do not overtighten locking nut as this will cause binding between the door arm and door bracket.

Type 2: Strut Mounted Bracket

Visually align the door arm connecting hole with the connecting pin of the strut by rotating the tube section in the appropriate direction. Release the trolley (leave door arm attached) with the manual release cord and pull trolley toward the power head unit. Now rotate the door arm tube section two turns counterclockwise (increasing the exposed length of the door rod) to provide a cushion when the door is closed or encounters an obstruction. Align connecting hole in the door arm with the strut mounted connecting bracket. Insert connecting pin through the hole in the door arm. Secure the connecting pin to the strut bracket according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
