ASSEMBLY STEP 5
Tighten the Chain and Cable
• Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley threaded
shaft, away from the trolley.
• To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction shown.
AS YOU TURN THE NUT, KEEP THE CHAIN FROM TWISTING.
• When the chain is approximately 13 mm above the base of the
rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner nut to secure the
adjustment.
Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too loose or too
tight.
NOTE:
When installation is complete, you may notice some chain
droop with the door closed. This is normal. If the chain returns to
the position shown when the door is open, do not re-adjust the
chain.
NOTE:
During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the emergency
release handle to disconnect trolley before adjusting chain.
