In addition, check the entire door system –
joints/hinge points, door bearings, cables,
springs and fastenings – for wear, possible
damage and faulty counterbalance mecha-
nism. Check for signs of rust, corrosion or
fractures. The door system may not be used
if repair or adjustment work needs to be car-
ried out. Always remember that a fault in the
door system or a wrongly aligned door can
cause injury.
Before installing the operator, have any
necessary maintenance and repair work car-
ried out by your garage door’s service
engineers.
The function of the mechanical release must
be checked once a month on an opened
door. This calls for caution since a door with
weak, broken or defective springs or a faulty
counterbalance mechanism can quickly slam
to of its own accord.
Important Instructions for Safe
Installation:
Attention - incorrect installation can
result in serious injuries. Please
follow all installation instructions
carefully.
Before the operator is installed, 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 connec-
ted with the door lock.
Before installing the garage door operator,
check that the door is in a good mechanical
condition, is correctly balanced and opens
and closes in the proper manner. Perma-
nently installed controls (such as buttons or
similar devices) should be
installed within sight of the
door but well away from
any moving parts and at a
height of at least 1.5 metres.
It is imperative that they be installed well out
of the reach of children!
Caution notices warning about the trap risk
must be permanently fixed in a conspicuous
place in the proximity of the permanently
installed buttons used to actuate the opera-
tor. The garage ceiling must be constructed
in such a way so as to guarantee safe,
secure anchoring of the operator. In the case
of ceilings which are too high or too light-
weight, the operator must be attached to
additional braces.
The operator is designed for use in dry buil-
dings and therefore may not be installed out-
doors.
The door height must not exceed a maxi-
mum of 3 metres. The clearance between
the highest point of the door and the ceiling
(also during the up-and-over action of the
door) must be at least 30 mm. Please check
the dimensions. If there is inadequate clea-
rance, the operator may also be installed
behind the opened door, provided sufficient
space is available. In such instances, an
extended door link must be used.
The door operator can be positioned off-
centre by a maximum of 500 mm, the
exception being sectional doors with high-lift
tracks (track application ”H”) where a special
