SECTIONAL DOOR OR TRACKED TILT
DOOR
You will need a 50mm piece of timber or similar
spacer to gauge the distance between door and rail.
1. Raise the opener onto support.
2. Open the door completely, place a 50mm
spacer between the door and the rail
(as shown).
3. If the top section or panel hits the trolley when
you raise the door, pull down on the trolley arm
to disengage the opener. Leave the trolley in this
position until opener is fastened in place.
ONE PIECE TILT DOOR (NON TRACKED)
You will need a 100mm (4”) piece of timber or similar
spacer to gauge the distance between door and rail.
1. Raise the opener onto support.
2. Open the door completely, place a 100mm
spacer between the door and the rail
(as shown).
3. The top of the door should be level with the top
of the opener. Do not position the opener more
than 50mm (2”) above this point.
The opener must be securely fastened to a structural
support of the garage.
Three typical installations are shown. Yours may be
different. Hanging brackets (1) should be angled (Figure
A) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, (Figure
B) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) (4) to a
structural support before installing the opener. For
concrete ceiling mount, (Figure C), use concrete anchors
provided.
On each side of opener measure the distance from the
opener to the structural support (or ceiling).
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or
twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the
bracket holes. Drill 4.5mm (3/16") pilot holes in the
structural supports (or ceiling). Attach brackets to
supports with wood screws (2).
Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw,
lock washer and nut (3). Check to make sure rail is
centred over the door. REMOVE 50mm or 100mm board.
Operate door manually. If door hits the rail, raise header
bracket. Use rail grease and lubricate the bottom inside
surface of rail (5).
