1.1 - DOOR OPERATION
The door must be in good operating condition and the
maximum effort to move the door up or down, from
stationary, should not exceed 200 Newtons (20kg force)
at the bottom rail. The recommended force should be 70N
(7kg) for manual operation.
Lift the door to about halfway, when you release the door it
should stay in place supported entirely by its springs. Raise
and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.
The door may need to be serviced to meet these
requirements – refer to the door manufacturer’s servicing
instructions or contact an authorised dealer.
Note: The fitting of an opener to doors with removable
mullions is not recommended.
1.2 - POSITION
T
he opener can be installed on either the right hand or
left hand side of the door (when viewed from inside the
garage).
This opener is not designed for external use. It must
be mounted in a dry position that is protected from the
weather.
Moisture or corrosion may damage the opener and this is
not covered by the Warranty.
Do not allow water, or other liquids, to enter the opener or
remote control transmitter.

Before installing the opener, check that the
door is in good mechanical condition and
correctly balanced and that it opens and
closes properly
A properly earthed, 3 pin, single-phase power

not recommended. The opener may appear
