SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The following is the preferred method for installing the
opener.
Step 1
- PREPARATION
a. Check the door operation:
i. The door must travel smoothly and be easy to operate
by hand.
ii. Operating force on the bottom rail should be
approximately 70N (7kgs) force.
iii. Adjust the guides if they are tight or twisted.
iv. Clean the guides if there is any oil or wax present
using a suitable white spirit. The only lubricant
suitable for use on door guides is silicon spray.
DO
NOT
use WD-40, RP-7, petroleum grease, or similar.
b. Install locking bar covers if there are locking bar holes in
the guides. (
Fig. 3
)
Note: DO NOT
lock your door with the locking bars after
installing the opener. Remove or disable the lock using wire
or cable ties). This will not affect door security as the opener
has an inbuilt locking facility.
c. Affix the warning labels supplied with this opener
in a prominant place where they are clearly visible.
d. Choose the side where the opener will be installed
ensuring there is sufficient sideroom.
(Refer to sideroom requirements - previous page).
