If the door has a lifting handle, remove the handle, nuts &
bolts. Place the weight bar over the handle holes, insert the
extended bolts through the weight bar & fasten the handle
back in place.
• Place the weight bar in the centre of the door as shown.
If the door curtain does not have a handle you will need to
follow these instructions:
• Use a marker pen to mark the two hole positions.
• Drill two 5.5 mm holes through the two marked
positions, then place the weight bar on the inside of the
door.
• Use the bolts, washers and nuts (provided - inset 2) to
fasten the weight bar in place.

Complete the following test to ensure your door is well
balanced, and not sticking or binding:
• Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected to the
garage door.
• Lift the door to about halfway and then release it. The
door should remain spring balanced.
• Raise and lower the door to determine if there are any
sticking or binding points (15 kgf is the absolute maximum
allowable to raise or lower the door in any position).
If your door does not hold in place or the door binds or
sticks, call a qualified door technician before installing the
opener.

SAFETY CHECK!
Is the stop collar installed?
YES: proceed to the next
step
NO: install the stop collar
before proceeding
• The stop collar (inset 1) is required to be installed on
the opposite side of the door to where the opener is
to be installed.
• Ensure the U-Bolt holding the door shaft to the door
bracket is tightly secure.
(NOTE: This U-Bolt must not be removed or loosened)
• Remove the bolt assembly from the plastic stop
collar. Open the collar as wide as possible and push
it onto the door shaft.
• Fit the stop collar hard against the boss of the
door drum. Reinstall the bolt assembly onto the
stop collar and tighten.
