MOUNTING OPENER FOR TRACK TYPE DOOR
STEP 5
Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the top
door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above
the floor (Fig. 6) and mark a line 60mm above it.
Determine the centre of the location on the wall above and on
top of the door. Then draw two (2) lines 21.5mm on each side
of the door centre. (Fig. 7).
STEP 6
The intersection of line at 21.5mm from door centre and line
60mm above highest point of travel are centre points, where
holes for mounting of wall bracket should be drilled. (Fig. 7)
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall, use
8mm or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounting onto wooden
lintel or beam, use wood screw #20 or equivalent minimum
50mm long.
WARNING: MAKE SURE CONCRETE, BRICK WALL
OR TIMBER LINTELS ARE SOLID AND SOUND SO AS
TO FORM A SECURE MOUNTING PLATFORM.
STEP 7
When the wall bracket is firmly secured in its proper position,
attach the support pipe assembly to wall bracket with 90 mm
long clevis pin and secure with supplied spring clip, (Fig. 8)
leaving drive unit in its packing box for protection during
installation.
STEP 8
Raise the drive unit from the packing box and support it in a
horizontal position with a step ladder, then open the garage
door. Rest the opener on the open door and use a scrap piece of
wood to bring it to horizontal level. Line up the track with the
centre line on top of the door. Secure to the ceiling above drive
unit mounting holes, with perforated angle (not supplied). A
representative mounting is shown. (Fig. 9 & 9a)
Connect angle and drive unit with 2 flat perforated strips of
angle (not supplied) with M8 x 20mm screws, nuts and washer.
Strips should not extend more than 18mm below centre of drive
unit mounting holes. (FIG. 9 & 9a).
WARNING: THE OPENER MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF THE
GARAGE. FAILURE TO FASTEN THE OPERATOR
CORRECTLY WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE OPENER
FAILURE CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
