1. CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
EASYLIFTER AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE DOOR.
The door must be well balanced and be in a reasonable
operating condition. You should be able to lift the door
smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around
900mm to 1200mm above the
r. The door should not stick
or bind in the guide tracks. The ideal operational e ort in
raising or lowering the door should not exceed a force of 10kg
(22 lbs.). Make sure that all door locks are either removed, or
disabled and remove unnecessary accessories.
2. FIXING OF DOOR WEIGHT BARS
Move the door manually to the mid open position. Place the
weight bars equally apart on the bottom rail of the door and
secure them with the fasteners provided
(Fig. 3)
. Check the
operation of the door again. If the door feels heavy it may
require extra tension to be added to the door springs. Refer to
the door Installation manual from the manufacturer on how to
tension the door.

WEIGHT BARS
The Easylifter Automatic Garage Door Opener can be installed
on the left or right hand side of the door (when looking out
from the inside of the garage). If the opener is to be installed on
the RIGHT HAND side of the door, then no change needs to be
made, as this is the standard factory setup. If LEFT HAND side
installation is required, the next step is to move the motor wire
connector on the control board. The connector plug has to be
removed and reconnected to the LEFT side of the connector
(Fig.4). If you have made an error in the selection and wish to
install on the RIGHT HAND side, then reconnect the connector
plug on the RIGHT side of the connector (Fig.5)
