Determine the Door Type Step 4 - Determine Door Type Determine which type of garage door you have as illustrated below. (Fig. 08 to 10). For a sectional (panel) door on tracks (Fig. 08) proceed with the installation from Step 5. Track fig 08 Door Sectional door with track For a one-piece door on tracks (Fig. 09) proceed with the installation from Step 5. fig 09 One piece door with track For a one-piece door without tracks (on springs) (Fig. 10) proceed with the installation from Step 9.
Mounting on a Track Type Door WARNING: The opener must be securely fastened to structural supports, otherwise opener failure may ensue causing serious personal injury and/or property damage. Level Level Track fig 11 Track Step 5 - Determine Bracket Position Door a. Door b. c. Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the top door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above the door (Fig. 11) and mark a line 60mm above it.
Mounting on a non-Track Type Door WARNING: The opener must be securely fastened to structural supports, otherwise opener failure may ensue causing serious personal injury and/or property damage. Centre of Door Step 9 - Determine the Door’s Centre a. b. Find the centre of the door and mark this location both above the door and on top of the door. Draw two lines 21.5mm either side of this (Fig. 15). fig 15 Step 10 - Prepositioning the Opener a. b. c. Raise the door to open position.
Mounting Door Bracket & Arms Step 13 - Mounting Door Bracket The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate with two mounting holes is used on its own for one piece doors. For sectional doors, the top plate is placed over the bottom plate and is fixed with four (4) screws (Fig. 19). fig 19 a. b. Mount the door bracket, or bracket assembly, on the door’s centre line one-third down the top panel (Fig. 19) using M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied), STEEL DOORS ONLY: Bracket can be welded in place.
Setting Limits Step 15.1 - Setting Travel Limits NOTE: If P.E. Beams are to be used they must be installed before setting the travel limits. WARNING!

Maintenance Maintenance Yearly Whilst your opener does not require any periodic maintenance, the door that it is fitted to does. Your garage door is a large, heavy, moving object and should be tested regularly to ensure it is in good condition. A poorly maintained door could cause fatal or serious injuries or serious damage to property. Automatic Technology suggests you contact your installer to perform an annual door service.
