Pre-Installation Recommendations
1. Check the garage door and garage door system
DANGER!
Balancing springs are under high tension. The readjustment or loosening of the balancing springs can cause serious injuries! For
your own safety, necessary maintenance and repair work of the balancing springs should only be performed by an expert. Never
attempt to replace, readjust, repair, or move the balancing springs for the counterbalancing of the door or their holders. Check the
entire door system (pivots, door bearings, ropes, springs and fastenings) for wear and possible damage. Check them for signs of
rust, corrosion and cracks. Error in the door system or misaligned doors can cause severe injury! Do not use the door system if
repair or adjustment work needs to be done!
The construction of the opener is not designed to operate sluggish doors, i.e. doors that can no longer or hardly be manually
opened or closed. The door must be in a mechanically healthy state that is easy to operate by hand (EN12604). Open the
garage door approximately half way and let go. The door should maintain this position and move neither up nor
down. If the door moves in either direction, then there is the risk that either the balancing springs/weights are not properly
adjusted or defective. In this case, increased wear and malfunctioning of the door is expected. Check that the door can open and
close correctly. Disengage/Remove any mechanical locks that may be on the door -- they are not needed with the use of
the garage door opener. These include in particular the locking mechanisms connected with the door. For installation and
commissioning, check the illustrated section. Take note of the text in the appropriate sections.
2. Required Clearance
The clearance between the highest point of the door travel and the ceiling must be at least 30 mm. For a lower clearance height,
and if space is available, the opener can be mounted behind the opened door. In these cases, an extended door link must be
used and may be purchased separately. The necessary electrical outlet for the electrical connection should be mounted within
approx. 50 cm from the opener (refer to the electrical mains chapter).
Check these dimensions!
Important note: As an additional safety device, the use of a photocell (safety beam) is recommended (sold separately).
3. Emergency release
For garages without a second entrance, an emergency release for the mechanical release is necessary to prevent getting locked
in the garage in the event of power failure. The emergency release is door-specific and must be ordered separately.
Check the function of the emergency release monthly.
