Operator Installation

4.1

Operator Mounting Options

The jackshaft operator line has a dual output shaft. These operators may be wall-mounted on either the left hand side
or the right hand side of a sectional door. They can also be hood-mounted, using BRACKET111 (sold separately), or
shelf-mounted on either side of the door.
The standard jackshaft hoist model comes with a chain hoist located on the right of the operator. If the application
requires that the chain hoist be located on the left of the operator (ex: rolling doors, left operator hood mounting), it
must be requested at time of order. Do not attempt to modify the chain hoist yourself.
This operator is not intended to be installed on horizontal slide doors.

Operator Mounting Holes

The operator has exposed moving parts and to prevent access to the pinch points, the operator must be installed
at least 8 feet (2,44 m) or more above the floor. Alternatively, covers or guarding, provided by the manufacturer,
must be installed when the operator is mounted less than 8 feet (2,44 m) above the floor.
1. Ensure that the wall or mounting surface provides
adequate support for the operator. The surface must be
rigid enough to prevent any play between the operator
and door shaft. Manaras-Opera recommends the use of
BRACKET111 for hood-mount application.
2. Locate the four mounting holes, as shown in Figure 7.
3. The optimum distance between the door shaft and the
operator drive shaft is between 12" and 15".
4. Secure BRACKET111 to the end bracket of the rolling
door or mount the operator to the wall with 3/8" thru-
bolts. If the wall construction prohibits the use of thru-
bolts, then appropriate and sufficiently sized lag bolts
and anchors may be used.
5. Only tighten the bolts after having adjusted tension of
the drive chain, as shown in section 4.3, p.8.
6. Ensure that the door and operator shafts are parallel.
