    • It is recommended that the seal is attached in one continuous length to finish 100mm above the lintel to ensure the best possible seal is obtained. • TRU-THERM™ Doors are manufactured with a standard overlap of 50mm on each side.
  • Page 6 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 2- Prepare Bottom Panel • Locate the bottom door panel with the weather seal and bottom brackets already attached. See figure D below. • Two rollers should be fitted to the bottom brackets along with the axle spacers provided.

  • Page 10 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 5- Fit Intermediate Hinges FIGURE I • Intermediate hinges should now be fitted to the door with a maximum spacing of 1000mm.

  • Page 14 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 6B- High Lift Tracks FIGURE N • High Lift tracks and hardware are designed to raise the horizontal tracks higher off the floor than Standard Lift tracks where needed to clear obstructions. • Standard High Lift doors require up to 1700mm of headroom which will give the door 1400mm of lift.
  • Page 15 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 6C- Vertical Lift Tracks FIGURE O • Vertical Lift tracks and hardware are designed to lift the door up the wall above the door opening as shown below. This is only possible when there is adequate headroom available.
  • Page 16 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 7- Set up Shaft and Springs • Identify the appropriate spring configuration for your door shown in Figure P below and Figure Q on next page. • It is very important to ensure RED cable drums are always on the LEFT side of the door and BLACK cable drums on the RIGHT.
  • Page 17 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL FIGURE Q...
  • Page 18 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL • Mount CD150 Cable Drum brackets and shaft support brackets (if required) to wall. The shaft support bracket is mounted above the centre of the doorway, or to suit available strong timber fixing. (Remember to allow 120-170mm for the springs to grow when tensioning.)
  • Page 19 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 8- Attach Cables to Drums • Feed cables (attached to bottom bracket; see figure D on page 6) up behind the vertical tracks and attach to the drums. Tighten the set screws on one drum, and then rotate drum and shaft until cable is tight.
  • Page 20 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 10- Tension Springs WARNING! Spring Mechanism is under extreme tension. It is recommended that a qualified door agency be contacted for installation or adjustments. • Before tensioning springs clamp a locking plier on to the door track as shown on next page in figure T.
  • Page 21 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL • Use only good quality, snug fitting, winding rods (NOT screwdrivers, etc.). These can be obtained from the door factory. • Be sure you are on a secure working platform, and keep slightly to side of winding rods.
  • Page 22 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 12- Bottom Track Final Adjustment • Vertical tracks can now receive final adjustment. Run door up and down a few times, checking and (if necessary) adjusting for side clearances between door and track. Permanently tighten bolts or tek screws into jambs. Loosen the track bolts and push in, so the door is compressing the opening seal by approximately 5- 10mm.
  • Page 23 TRU-THERM™ INSTALLATION & OWNERS MANUAL Step 13- Top Track Final Adjustment • Standard lift and high lift horizontal track hangers and lateral braces, as fitted in step 7 (figure K and L on page 13) must be adjusted with door in the open position.

Use the mounting bracket and the installation instructions supplied with the motor to fit it to the door.
