INSTALLATION
Step 3 - PINNING THE DOOR CURTAIN
Pin the door curtain to the door drum at each end of the door
to maintain security when the opener closes and locks.
With the door fully closed:
1. Mark positions to drill in both end of the drum. (
Fig. 7
)
2. Open door slightly to get access to these positions.
3. Drill using 3.2mm (1/8”) drill.
4. Fit a No 10 x 32mm screw and washer to each end.
While this screw should be positioned as low as possible,
make sure that it does not alter the curtain’s normal
approach to the guide (lead-in angle).
NOTE:
Make sure that the screws do not project into the
area where the ring gear will fit.
Step 4
- FITTING THE OPENER
1. At the end opposite to where the opener will be fitted,
check to make sure the “U” bolt is tightened securely
and fit the anti-coning collar to the axle ensuring it
is in contact with the door drum - right hand fitting is
recommended where possible.
2. Open the door completely and tie two safety ropes
around the door roll approximately 300mm from each
end (not too tight) as a safety precaution.
3. At the end where the opener is to be fitted, support the
door. It is recommended that you support the door with
either:
•
a sling or a block and tackle from above the door, or
•
a suitable stand e.g. a ladder and blocks (see
illustration). If you use blocks make sure they are flat
on the top of the ladder and that they are wide
enough to take the weight of the door without
damaging it.
4. Mark the position of the “U” bolt in the door bracket and
the position of the door bracket on the wall to assist
when reassembling (use masking tape or marking pen).
5. Remove the “U” bolt (or bolts) and saddle from the door
bracket at the end where the opener is to be fitted.
6. Remove this door bracket allowing the door to rest on
the support. (

Note:
For minimum sideroom installations the door may
have to be taken down.

Warning - Make sure the support is snug
under the door and that both the support and
door are stable and will not move.
