Chain Couple:
The GCL-MJ & MH operators can be ordered for right or left hand
mounting above or below the door shaft. FIG. 1.
Hoist operators must be ordered for left or right handing from
the factory.
NOTE: The operator output shaft extends 5" on each side of the MZ
operator frame side plates.
1. Attach 12 tooth sprocket to operator output shaft.
2. Align keyways and insert key into sprocket and output shaft keyway. Do not tighten set screws at this
time.
3. Attach door sprocket to door shaft. Align keyways and insert key into sprocket and door shaft keyway.
Do not tighten set screws at this time.
4. Assemble chain using chain connecting link.
5. Place assembled chain over door shaft sprocket.
6. Raise or lower operator to remove slack from the chain.
7. Be certain operator output shaft is parallel with door shaft.

INSTALLATION TIP:
While sprocket set screws are loose, if possible, manually operate door to help align chain. A properly
tensioned drive chain should deflect no more than 1/2" when thumb pressure is applied mid-way between
the 2 sprockets.
NOTE: If using slotted mounting holes to mount unit, you must use at least two lock down holes in opposite
corners to firmly mount unit to wall. FIG. 2.
