The maximum allowable door height is 4.5m, maximum allowable curtain area is 12.0m² (door height in metres multiplied by the width in metres) and maximum allowable door weight is 100kg.

The Protector System™ (Safety Beams) must be installed if the force at the edge of the closing door force exceeds 400N (40kgf). Door shaft diameter must not exceed 35mm.

Typical side room installation

Minimum side room installation

 

 

Ensure that there is at least 45mm from the edge of the curtain to the edge of the bracket. If the roller door drums are on the edge of the curtain or are of small diameter additional clearance maybe required.

If the drums are more than 60mm from the curtain edge or of small diameter extension poles maybe required. Different drum and bracket types may result in the minimum side room clearance not being possible and extension poles being required.

Ensure there is a power point near the opener.

4Prepare Door

Disable locks and remove any ropes connected to garage door.

Complete the following test to ensure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:

1.Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.

2.Raise and lower the door to see if there is any sticking or binding. If your door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call a trained door systems technician.

Install stop bracket collar

The stop bracket collar should be installed on the opposite end to where the opener will be installed. Fit the stop bracket hard against the boss of the door drum.

Ensure that the U-bolt holding the door shaft to the door bracket is tightly secured.

Install weight bar

1.Place the weight bar at the bottom centre of the door and mark the two hole positions.

2.Drill two 5.5mm holes at the marked positions.

3.Fix the weight bar to the inside of the door with the supplied 5mm bolts, washers and nuts.
