Mounting Door Bracket and Arms
Step 11.1 - Alternative Mounting Option
The opener can be fastened to the roof by driving a bolt 
through the C-Rail into a structural timber support. The bolt 
head’s height must not exceed 6mm (Fig. 18).
Step 12 - 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 fi xed with four (4) screws (Fig. 19).
a.  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), 
b.  STEEL DOORS ONLY: Bracket can be welded in 
place.
NOTE: If in doubt about the door’s strength, 
reinforcement may be added to the door’s 
frame where necessary. Door damage may 
occur if the bracket is installed on a panel 
with insuffi cient strength. The opener’s 
warranty does not cover damage caused to 
the door and/or door panels.
Step 13 - Attaching the Arms
FOR SECTIONAL AND ONE PIECE DOORS WITH TRACK: 
a. Assemble the bent and straight arms with bolts 
and nuts supplied in the accessory pack (Fig. 20).  
Always use both bent and straight arms.
b.  Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the 
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins. The 
angle “A” must be more than 10° (Fig. 20).
WARNING: Connecting the bent arm other 
way around may damage the door.
FOR ONE PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK
a.  Assemble the bent and straight arms as shown in (Fig. 
21) with bolts and nuts supplied in the accessory 
pack. Always use both the bent and straight arms.
b.  Connect the assembled arm to the bracket and the 
disengaged trolley with clevis and snap pins. 
c. If installing on a door with a bad wave action, 
lengthening the arm will assist in reducing this effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE - If the manual release 
handle is more than 1.8 metres from fl oor level 
when the opener is installed, extend the handle 
to a height less than 1.8 metres.
