INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. Mounting Power Head to Ceiling
 Raise the Power Head off the floor and rest it on a support high enough that the Drive Rail Assembly runs
parallel to the ground. (Fig.7 depicts typical sectional type garage door installation for tip up door refer
Fig.1B)
 Carefully open the garage door and ensure that no part of it comes into contact with the Drive Pole
Assembly or the Power Head during the entire movement of the garage door.
 Align the Drive Pole Assembly with the centerline of the garage door and securely fasten the Power Head
to a structural member of the ceiling or roof using 2 lengths of vertically hung steel angle – normally
20mm x 20mm x 1mm. (Fig.7)
 Note: One length of each hangar should be fastened to each side of the AGDO chassis within the holes
and slots provided and a 3
rd
length should be used to diagonally brace the 2 vertical pieces.
 Once mounted the Power Head and Drive Pole Assembly should sit parallel to the floor along both
planes. (For Sectional and Track-Type Tilt Doors only. For Jamb-Type Tilt Door refer Fig 1B)
 Important Notes:
a. With the garage door in the fully open position, the underside of the Drive Pole Assembly
should be no more than 50mm above the highest arcing point of the garage door for its
entire length. (Fig.7)
b. The antenna of the AGDO should be extended down below the main body cover.

8. Attaching Towing Arms
 Close the garage door.
 With the Carriage disengaged (Fig.9) and positioned approx 225mm from the front wall, attach the
Straight Towing Arm (Fig 8) to the Carriage using the short clevis pin.
 Secure the short clevis pin with the spring pin.
 Attach the Bent Towing Arm to the Towing Bracket (use the end of the arm which has only one hole)
using the 8mm screw and 2 nuts. (Fig 8)
 Important Note: The Screw should be securely locked on to the Towing Bracket with the 2 nuts and
not allowed to pivot - the screw must be allowed to pivot freely within the Towing Arm only.
 Bring the Straight and Bent Towing Arms together and align the 2 closest sets of holes.
 Securely fix the Bent and Straight Towing Arms together using 2 x 8mm screws and nuts.
