OF DOOR
CAUTION
Check the working condition of the door before installing the operator. The
Door must be free from sticking and binding. If the door is equipped with a
latching device, secure the locking bar in the open (unlocked) position. This
style operator will act as a latching device when the door is down and
therefor the door’s lock is no longer needed.
If the door lock is to remain functional, an interlock switch MUST be installed
which will prevent operation of the door whenever the door lock is engaged.
Refer to the Wiring Instructions, section 5.5, of this manual for proper
connection of the interlock switch.
1) Measure the width of the door to determine the center. Make a vertical
line above the door, as shown in Fig. 7. (If the vertical line is not in line
with a door stile, a means of attaching the door bracket to the door must
be provided. This can be accomplished by spanning the center of the
door’s top section (between the top and bottom rail) with a suitable
material such as wood or steel).
2) Prepare for attaching drawbar to header. If woodwork, or other suitable
material is not already in place, securely affix a 2” x 6” block of wood or
metal plate as shown in Fig. 7.
3) Center the block/plate on the header.
4) Mark the door’s vertical center line on this block/plate.
5) Use a level, as shown in Fig. 8 (pg 4.6) to find the highest point of travel for
the door.
6) Mark a horizontal line across the vertical line you made on the header
at 5” above the highest point of door travel.
