INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION STEP 1
Position the Opener
NOTE:
For additional mounting options see accessories
page.
1. Close the door completely.
2. Slide the operator with collar over the end of the torsion
bar. Ensure that the collar does not touch the bearing
plate. Check to make sure the mounting bracket is
located on a solid surface such as wood, concrete or
door/flag bracket. Snug collar screws to help assure
proper alignment of operator. Mark the bracket holes. It
may be necessary to cut the torsion bar if it is too long
or damaged.
3. Loosen collar screws from torsion bar and remove the
operator. Drill 5mm (3/16”) pilot holes at the marked
locations. Drill through steel plate if needed.
4. Reinstall the operator by sliding the collar over the
torsion bar until pilot holes align with bracket. Securely
tighten collar screws that attach to the torsion bar to
16Nm-19Nm of torque. Securely tighten both set screws
firmly, without damaging the motor unit.
5. Fasten bracket securely with 14-10x1-7/8" screws.
Tighten all mounting bracket hardware.
NOTE:
The motor unit does not have to be flush to wall.
6. Use a staple to secure the antenna wire to prevent
antenna from being entangled in a door roller.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting bracket
into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust the door,
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware,
ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if the
door binds, sticks or is out of balance. An unbalanced
door might not reverse when required.
• Operator MUST be mounted at a right angle to the
torsion bar to avoid premature wear on the collar.
