INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
STEP 6:
Tie a
double overhand
knot
in one end
of the Manual
Release Rope and
slip the other end
through the red
Release Handle,
the Release
Instruction Card,
and the hole at
the end of the
Release Lever on
the Trolley. Tie a
second
double
overhand knot
in the free end
,
adjusting the Rope so that the
Red Handle is 6 FT
above the floor
. If the Rope must be cut, flame seal
the cut end with a match or lighter.
Step 9:
Consult the label on the rear panel of the
Opener to determine its proper working voltage.
Normally it will be marked for 115V, 60 cycle
operation. (If it is an export model designed for 230V,
50 cycle operation, the label will clearly indicate this.)
The opener must be plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle within 3 FT of the Power Unit. Do not use
2-prong adapters and do not use extension cords for
anything more than temporary hook-up and testing
purposes. Receptacle wiring should be No. 14 or
heavier, and
must be in compliance with local
building and electrical codes.
If local codes require permanent wiring, a resettable, 15
Amp circuit breaker is recommended to protect the line.
Remove the Strain Relief Bushing and withdraw the
Line Cord from the rear of the Power Unit to expose
the three insulated connectors. Cut the wire at the
rubber jacket of the Line Cord and wire in permanently,
employing proper wiring practices. Discard Strain
Relief. It is not used with permanent wiring
Step 10:
Install a
Rough Service
lamp bulb (75 Watt
maximum) firmly in the light socket. Light bulbs in
door openers are subject to vibration during normal
operation which may shorten their life spans. Rough
Service bulbs, available at most hardware stores, are
recommended. Fit Light Diffuser tabs into the panel
slots as shown.

about location of, and attachment to, ceiling joists, a
carpenter should be contacted to provide assistance. A
cross brace will be necessary if the power head is
mounted 8” or more from the ceiling, see illustration
at bottom of previous page. Attach a kick brace from
the hanger angle to an opposite end Power Unit
mounting hole to provide horizontal stability as
shown. Optionally a hanger angle at the opposite end
mounting hole can be used to provide horizontal
stability.
STEP 5:
Return to the
“T” Rail/Front
Mounting
Bracket
and
securely tighten
the bolt and nut
that connect the
Tee Rail Front
Idler bracket and the Front Mounting Bracket. (See
Step 2, previous).
