IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Warning: Incorrect installation can lead to severe injury.
Follow ALL installation instructions.
NOTE:
Planetary chain equipment must be removed from
the door prior to installation of GDO-12V1 HiRo™.
4.1 Door Operation
The door must be in good operating condition. The maximum
effort to move the door up or down, from stationary, should not
exceed 200 Newtons (20 kg force) at the bottom rail.
Lift the door to about halfway. When released, the door should
stay in place supported entirely by its springs. Raise and lower the
door to check for binding or sticking.
The door may need to be serviced to meet these requirements –
refer to the door manufacturer’s servicing instructions or contact
an authorised dealer.
4.2 Unsuitable Door Types
The fitting of an opener to doors with removable mullions or
doors incorporating a wicket door
is not recommended
(Fig. 4.1)
.
4.3 Position
The opener can be installed on either the right or left hand side
of the door (when viewed from inside the garage). The opener is
factory set for right hand side installation.
This opener must be installed in a dry position that is protected
from the weather. Moisture or corrosion damage is not covered
by the Warranty.
4.4 Power Supply
Properly earthed 3 pin single-phase power is required.
WARNING! Using a portable power generator
is not recommended. The opener may appear to
malfunction due to spikes, surges and fluctuations
in the generated voltage.

curtain is 35 mm to the inside of the door bracket, and 80mm to
the wall. If the Battery Backup is to be fitted, at least 130mm to
