Door Requirements

3

Ensure that there is at least 45mm from the edge of the curtain to the edge of the bracket. If the roller door drums are on
the edge of the curtain or are of small diameter additional clearance maybe required. 

If the drums are more than 60mm from the curtain edge or of small diameter extension poles maybe required.

Different drum and bracket types may result in the minimum side room clearance not being possible and extension poles
being required.
Ensure there is a power point near the opener.

Prepare Door

Disable locks and remove any ropes connected to
garage door.

Complete the following test to ensure your garage door
is balanced and is not sticking or binding:

1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. If
balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its
springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any sticking or
binding. If your door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.

Install stop bracket collar

The stop bracket collar should be installed on the 

opposite

end to where the opener will be installed. Fit the stop bracket
hard against the boss of the door drum.
Ensure that the U-bolt holding the door shaft to the door
bracket is tightly secured.

Install weight bar

1. Place the weight bar at the bottom centre of the door and
mark the two hole positions.
2. Drill two 5.5mm holes at the marked positions.
3. Fix the weight bar to the inside of the door with the
supplied 5mm bolts, washers and nuts.
