Automatic Oiler Adjustment	Cable Jumping
ONLY USE WITH MODEL "S" OPERATORS

A.

Using a 10-weight, non-detergent oil, fill the oiler through the top cap (similar to a lawn mower oil cap) or remove the bottom bowl. Do not use antifreeze or heavy weight oil.

B.

Adjustments to the oil flow are made by turning the cap on top of the oiler. A turn to the (+) direction increases the oil flow; a turn to the (-) direction decreases oil flow. One drop of oil should appear in the glass bulb on top of the oiler every time the door cycles.

C.

Keep the oiler filled at all times.

Note: Leave the oiler about 1/4 of the way open.

A.

Door cable is jumping:

A shaft-type operator depends upon gravity to bring the door down. If the shaft starts unwinding, and the door does not move the cable will form a loop on the drum and come off it. This will happen during sudden direction reversals, when the door freezes open, or if the door hits something before fully closed.

B.

Putting the cable back on the drum:

1. Turn the air pressure off.

2.Disconnect the chain or belt from the operator.

3.Secure the door in a fixed position with a vise-grip under a roller. It is easiest to do this when the door is a few inches above the floor.

4.Use a pipe wrench to twist the door shaft against the spring or counterweight just enough to get the cable back on the drum.

Caution: Never loosen the spring or remove the cable from the drum. There are several hundred pounds of tension on this cable, and severe bodily injury can

occur.

5.If the cable will not go back on the drum, call UPI at 1(800)542-7221.

C.

Cable jumping solutions:

1.Raise the track: Raise the rear of the horizontal track several inches. This will give the door a slight downward incline and help it get started down.

2.Don’t open the door all the way: Do not open the door to its maximum height. This will conserve heat and acts as if the door has a high-lift track. The top limit is easily adjusted by changing the connection point where the operator is attached to the chain or belt.
