WARNING!
CAUTION:
Fall from ladder
WARNING! Do not allow persons around the door and prop. Serious personal
injury and/or property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
1. Proping the Door:
a. At the end opposite to where the opener will be fitted, check that the U-bolt which
holds the door axle to the bracket is tightened securely.
WARNING! The U-bolt must be done up tightly to ensure the stored energy in
the springs cannot be unexpectedly released.
b. Open the door completely and tie rope around the door roll. Do not tie the rope too
tight as damage to the curtain may ensue. This will stop the door unrolling when
taken off the bracket
c. At the end where the opener is to be fitted, support the door with a door stand or
suitable prop. Place a towel between the door and the prop to protect the door from
damage.
WARNING! Make sure the prop is snug under the door and is stable.
2. Raising the Door:
a. When in position, remove the U-bolt (or bolts) and saddle from the door bracket.
b. Lift the door up and away from the wall until clear of the door bracket, before lowering
the door to rest on the door stand or prop.
