INSTALLATION TIPS:
1. Follow the installation instructions supplied with your operator.
2. Reinforce top section per manufacturers recommendation prior to attaching
operator.
3. Install trolley rail 1 to 1-1/2 (25 - 38 mm) above high arc of top section of
the door.
4. Mount operator to ceiling so that 1 to 1-1/2 (25 - 38 mm) clearance is
maintained between trolley rail and top section when door is fully open (trolley
rail will slope down towards rear).
5. The operator bracket must be mounted to the operator muntin on the top
section so it bridges the transition point in section thickness.
WARNING!OPERATOR MUST BE TESTED AT TIME OF INSTALLATION AND
MONTHLY THEREAFTER TO ENSURE THAT DOOR REVERSES ON
CONTACT WITH 2 X 4 BOARD LAID FLAT UNDER THE DOOR. FAIL-
URE TO ADJUST OPERATOR, IF NECESSARY, CAN RESULT IN SE-
VERE INJURY OR DEATH. IF YOUR OPERATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH
PHOTOELECTRIC SYSTEM, THEN THIS MUST BE TESTED AT THE
SAME TIME TO ENSURE THAT DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE AND A
CLOSING DOOR OPENS IF SYSTEM IS OBSTRUCTED. FAILURE
TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, IF NECESSARY, CAN RESULT IN SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH.
BRIDGE POINT
If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position,
UNWIND THE SPRING(S) FULLY (Reference the insert sheet Removing the
Old Door/Preparing the Opening section on Torsion Spring Removal), and re-
check the following the items:
1.) Check the door for level.
2.) Check the torsion tube for level.
3.) Check the track spacing.
4.) Check the counterbalance cables for equal tension.
5.) Check for track for potential obstruction of the rollers.
6.) Clamp locking pliers onto track and rewind spring(s).
IMPORTANT! If door still does not operate properly, then contact a qualified
door agency.

PLATE BASE
To install the step plate raise the door to a comfortable working height and
secure with locking pliers to the track. Locate the step plate in the center of
any stile on a raised panel door. Make one mark 1 (25 mm) up from the
bottom edge and another mark 2- 3/16 (56 mm) up from the first mark. Drill
a 7/16 (11 mm) hole through the section at each mark and insert the step
plate. Loosely fasten step plate slide to base with (1) 1/4-20 x 1/2 carriage
bolt and nut. Align inside step plate holes and fasten from inside using the #8
screws provided. Install one #8 x 3/4 screw in the bottom step plate hole. In
the top hole use the #8 x 3/4 screw when attaching step plates to 9200
Foamcore, use the #8 x 1 screw when attaching step plates to 9600
Thermogard® and use the #8 x 1-1/2 screw when attaching step plates to 9900
Thermowayne. Tighten 1/4-20 carriage bolt and nut.
NOTE: Step plates are optional on 9900 Thermowayne, 9600 Thermogard®,
and 9200 Foamcore door models.
