DRIVE MOUNTING OPTIONS - TOP
Inside vs. Outside Mount
The drive system's preferred mounting location
is to the head above the door. The unit may be
mounted inside or outside and is determined by
the track of the active panel (i.e. active panel on
inside track requires mounting inside the home).
When possible, an inside mount is the preferred
location.
TOP MOUNT OVER FIXED PANEL
This is the preferred mounting option when the
sliding panel opens to the left when viewed on
the side of the active panel (as shown).
If the system must be mounted over the fixed panel (for
clearance/aesthetic purposes) and the door opens to the
right, it is necessary to rehand the unit (see Section 07
prior to installing).
If the door header doesn't have enough depth to
mount the unit onto it, you can use the included
mounting adapter "L" bracket to facilitate a
mount directly to the wall. The bracket can be
used in a variety of ways, including as
reinforcement.
In some situations, it may be necessary to drill new holes
into the unit base. If so, take great care to not damage
any hardware or cables.
If the motor wheel can't vertically meet the track
(and the track is placed as high as possible), use
a block of wood or metal to shim the unit down
closer to the track. It will likely be necessary to
mark and pre-drill your holes in the shim.
