STEP 2:
Assemble the poles. Gather the 5 pole sections and assemble them as in the
sketch. It may be necessary to force the poles together by knocking the ends with
a block of wood. If you have a trackless tilt door, read the following before assem-
bling the poles.
Additional setup for trackless tilt doors (jamb fittings) only
The assembled pole should be one segment shorter for a trackless tilt door. A shorter pole
flexes less during the opening and closing of the door. (Due to the lack of restraining tracks
the momentum of the moving door will tend to flex the pole.)
Pole Assembly for trackless tilt doors
The pole that is supplied with this unit is in five sections.
Use only four sections for trackless tilt doors. Omit one
of the poles which is reduced in diameter at one end.
Removing the sprocket cover
STEP 3:
Assemble the trolley and header bracket to the pole.
Slip the pole into the return pulley assembly until the pole reaches the restraining
tab.
Slide the trolley over the pole, ensure that the arrow points towards the return
pulley assembly.
Slip the assembled pole into the power head until the pole reaches the restraining
tab. Take care to protect the power head from scratching on the floor of the ga-
rage. You can use blocks of styrofoam packing or a sheet of cardboard for this.
Twist the pole until the return pulley is aligned onto the same plane as the power
head drive sprocket.
STEP 4:
Remove the sprocket cover from the power head.
