INSTALLATION SECTION
Wear protective goggles when working overhead to protect your eyes from injury.
Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to the garage door.
To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener.
It is recommended that the opener be installed 2,1m (7 feet) or more above the floor where space permits.
12Position the Header Bracket
The header bracket must be rigidly fastened to a structural support of the garage. Reinforce the wall or ceiling with a 40mm
You can attach the header bracket either to the header wall (1) or to the ceiling (3). Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements.
With the door closed, mark the vertical centerline (2) of the garage door. Extend line onto header wall above the door.
Open door to highest point of travel. Draw an intersecting horizontal line (4) on header wall 5cm (2") above high point to provide travel clearance for top edge of door.
13Install the Header Bracket
NOTE: Refer to vertical center and horizontal lines created in step 12 for proper placement or header bracket.
A. Wall Mount: Center the bracket (1) on the vertical guideline (2) with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line (4) (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling). Mark all of the bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the bracket with wood screws (3). For concrete mount, use concrete anchors provided.
B. Ceiling Mount: Extend vertical guideline (2) onto the ceiling. Center the bracket (1) on the vertical mark no more than 150mm (6") from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the wall. Mark all of the bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the bracket with wood screws (3). For concrete ceiling mount, use concrete anchors (6) provided.
14Attach Rail to Header Bracket
Position opener on garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material to protect the cover. Raise rail until holes in the header sleeve and holes in the header bracket align. Join with clevis pin (1). Insert ring fastener (2) to secure.
NOTE: To enable the rail to clear sectional door springs, it may be necessary to lift opener onto a temporary support. The opener must either be secured to a support or held firmly in place by another person.
15 | Position the Opener | |
NOTE: A 25mm (1") board (1) is convenient for setting an ideal door- | ||
| ||
Raise the opener onto a stepladder. Open garage door. Place a 25mm (1") board (1) laid flat on the top section of door near the centerline as shown. Rest the rail on the board.
If the raised door hits the trolley, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect the inner and outer trolley sections. The trolley can remain disconnected until connecting door arm to trolley is completed.
16Hang the Opener
The opener must be securely fastened to a structural support of the garage.
Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets (1) should be angled (Figure A) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, (Figure B) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) (4) to a structural support before installing the opener. For concrete ceiling mount, (Figure C), use concrete anchors (5) provided.
On each side of opener measure the distance from the opener to the structural support (or ceiling).
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the bracket holes. Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes in the structural supports (or ceiling). Attach flattened ends of brackets to supports with wood screws (2).
Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw, lock washer and nut (3). Check to make sure rail is centered over the door. Remove 25mm (1") board. Operate door manually. If door hits the rail, raise header bracket. Use rail grease and lubricate bottom surface of rail (6).
17Attach Emergency Release Rope & Handle
Thread one end of rope (1) through hole in top of red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side up as shown (3). Secure with an overhand knot (2). Knot should be at least 25mm (1") from end of the rope to prevent slipping.
Thread other end of rope through hole in release arm of the outer trolley (4). Adjust rope length so that handle is 1,8m (6 feet) above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut rope, heat seal cut end with a match or lighter to prevent fraying.
