3.0 Installation Instructions

3.1 Install Lintel Bracket

It is essential that the lintel above you garage opening have a fixing point that is made from substantial
material (timber, brick, steel etc). Almost all the force generated by the automatic operator is
concentrated on the Lintel Bracket, so it must be properly anchored to prevent serious injury and/or
damage. Additional timber should be added to reinforce this area if required.
Complete the following steps to ensure your lintel bracket is installed in the correct position:
• Determine the centre of the door and mark a vertical line on the lintel
• Open the door and find the highest point to which the top of the door reaches. Mark an intersecting
horizontal line at least 30mm above this to allow appropriate travel clearance
• Using the intersecting lines, place the lintel bracket with the flat bottom of the flanges positioned at the
required height and fix with appropriate screws (not supplied)
Note: In some instances headroom requirements and the need to avoid obstructions make it necessary to
move the bracket higher.

3.2 Attach Manual Release Mechanism to Track
