Fadini Aproli 480 Installation Manual - “M”
It is recommended to follow the drawings in this manual to install APROLI 480 on to garage doors in order to automate them.
The operator is designed for the installation in the centre of the existing door by means of a bracket “M” that is fixed to the door with
screws. Pic.4

Should the upper and lower fixing ends of the bracket “M” not coincide with the upper and lower edges of the door, it is recommended
to rivet, screw or spot weld an iron reinforcement plate (100 mm - 5 mm thickness) vertically across the door so to connect the top and
bottom edges of the door as shown in pic. 4
Once the bracket “M” has been fixed, it is to be determined whether the telescopic arms are to overlap the existing door arms or be
fixed parallel to them. See pic. 5 and 6. Then proceed to weld the fixing plates as indicated by the distances in pic.5

Once the bracket and the operator have been fixed to the door, proceed to temporarily fix the two telescopic arms to the torsion shaft,
considering that the shaft must be allowed to rotate 5 degrees less than the end of the permitted stroke, as further explained in pic.7

Rotate the shaft to the end of the permitted stroke by means of pliers. Then rotate the shaft back by 5 mm. This allows more power to
the operator when it is required to close the door. Pic. 7. Please note the door must be in closed position when this operation is done.
