1 IMPORTANT NOTES

ATTENTION

Incorrect installation or handling of the

operator could result in serious injury.

Please therefore follow these instructions

fully and with extreme care!

1.1 Important safety instructions

The garage door operator is intended exclusively for

the automatic opening and closing of spring-balanced

up-and-over doors and sectional doors for the private /

non-commercial use as well as for garage doors with

higher load (e.g. underground car parks and collective car

parks).

Please respect the manufacturer instruction concerning the

combination door – operator. Possible danger in terms of

the norms EN 12604 and EN 12453 will be avoided by the

construction and mounting according to our specifications.

Doors which are suited in public area and dispose of only

one protective device, e.g. force catch, are only to be

operated under supervision.

1.1.1 Warranty

We shall be exempt from our warranty obligations

and product liability in the event that the customer

carries out his own structural changes or undertakes

improper installation work or arranges for same to be

carried out without our prior approval and contrary to

the installation guidelines we have provided.

Moreover, we shall accept no responsibility for the

inadvertent or negligent operation of the operator and

accessories nor for the improper maintenance of the

door and/or its counterbalance mechanism.

Batteries and light bulbs are also not covered by the

warranty.

Note

In case of failure of the garage door operator, a technical expert

has to be mandated immediately with the inspection / repair.

1.1.2 Checking the door / door system

The design of the operator is not suitable nor intended

for the opening and closing of heavy doors, i.e. doors

that can no longer be opened or closed manually.

Before installing the operator, it is therefore

necessary to check the door and make sure that it can

also be easily moved by hand.

To do this, raise the door approx. 1 metre and then let it

go. The door should retain this position, moving neither

up nor down. If the door should move in any of the two

directions, there is a risk that the compensating springs

are defective or incorrectly adjusted. In this case increased

wear and malfunctioning of the door system can be

expected.

CAUTION: Danger to life!

Do not attempt to change, readjust, repair or

move the compensating springs for the door's

counterbalance mechanism or their holders. The

springs are under great tension and can cause

serious injury.

In addition, check the entire door system (pivots,

door bearings, cables, springs and fastenings)

for wear and possible damage. Check for signs

of rust, corrosion or fractures. The door system

may not be used if repair or adjustment work

needs to be carried out. Always remember that

a fault in the door system or a misaligned door

can also cause injury.

Note

Before installing the operator and in the interests of personal

safety, make sure that any work needed on the door's

compensating springs is carried out by a special engineer. This

also applies to any necessary maintenance or repair work.

Only both correct mounting and maintenance through a

competent/expert person in accordance with the instructions

can assure a safe and intended functionality of mounting.

1.2 Important instructions for safe installation

Any further processing must ensure that the national

regulations governing the operational safety and the

operation of electrical equipment are complied with.

Hereby the national directives have to be respected.

Possible danger in terms of the norms EN 12604 and

EN 12453 will be avoided by the construction and

mounting according to our specifications.

1.2.1 Before installing the garage door operator, check

that the door is in a good mechanical condition and is

correctly balanced. Further check whether the door opens

and closes in the proper manner (see section 1.1.2).

In addition, any of the door's mechanical locks and latches

not needed for power operation of the garage door

should be immobilised. This includes in particular any

locking mechanisms connected with the door lock (see

sections 2.2 to 2.3).

The garage door operator is designed for use in dry

buildings and therefore may not be installed outdoors. The

garage ceiling must be constructed in such a way as to

guarantee safe, secure anchoring of the operator. In the

case of ceilings that are too high or too lightweight, the

operator must be attached to additional braces.

1.2.2 In carrying out the installation work

Note

The use of the delivered mounting materials regarding their

suitability for the intended mounting place must be checked by

the installation person. / The person who installs the operator

must check the use of the delivered mounting materials

regarding their suitability for the intended mounting place.
