Note: The top of the hanger shaft screws into a self-
locking nut. If the hexagonal nut is turned counter 
clockwise too far, the shaft will become loose from the 
self-locking nut. If the turning resistance suddenly feels 
much easier, you have gone too far. 

 

If you raise the door to the maximum height position, 
the threaded bolt may contact fixing screw heads. If 
required, remove hanger bolt from wheel and remove 
2-3mm (1/8”) of thread.

7  Set final activator positions.

a)   Loosen the grub screw of the rear activator. Slide it 

approximately 2” towards the track notch.  

b)   Hold the activator setting block inside the back stud and 

gently open the door onto it. The activator will slide 
along the track into the correct position.

c)  Close the door and remove the activator setting block.  

Without moving the activator, tighten all four grub 
screws.
