Installation; Mount The Operator - Chamberlain door opener Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before your operator is installed, be sure the door has been properly aligned and is working smoothly. The
operator may be wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf. If necessary, refer to the preparation on page 5. Refer to the
illustrations and instructions below that suit your application.

MOUNT THE OPERATOR

1. Wall Mount: The operator should generally be installed below
the door shaft, and as close to the door as possible (Figure 1).
Bracket Shelf Mounting: The operator may be mounted either
above or below the door shaft (Figure 2).
IMPORTANT: The shelf or bracket must provide adequate support,
prevent play between operator and door shaft, and permit
operator to be fastened securely and with the drive shaft parallel
to the door shaft.
NOTE: The optimum distance between the door shaft and operator
drive shaft is between 12" - 15" (30.5 - 38.1 cm).
2. Place door sprocket on the door shaft. Do not insert the key at
this time.
3. Place drive sprocket on the appropriate side of the operator.
Do not insert the key at this time.
4. Wrap drive chain around door sprocket and join roller chain
ends together with master link.
5. Raise operator to approximate mounting position and position
chain over operator sprocket.
6. Raise or lower operator until the chain is taut (not tight). Make
sure the operator output shaft is parallel to door shaft and
sprockets are aligned. When in position, secure the operator to
wall or mounting bracket.
7. Align sprockets and secure (Figure 3).
8. Install Hand Chain
Place hand chain around hand chain wheel. Be sure to pass it
through both openings in the chain guide. Remove enough
links so chain hangs approximately 2' (.61 m) above the floor.
9. Mount Chain Keeper / Keyhole Bracket
Using suitable hardware mount the chain keeper approximately
4' (1.22 m) above the floor, near the free hanging chain.
Remove disconnect sash chain from bag and place the end
through the keyhole in the chain keeper. Remove excess links
if necessary.
