FIXING THE DOOR GUIDES & HEAD PLATES
Slide the peg on the head plate into the box
channel of the guide. Note: The lugs in the channel
help to ensure the head plate rests neatly against
the head and in the correct position - see guide
orientation section on page 10. Lift into position
against the opening.
Hold guides in place using quick clamps. Check the
level of the guides, both vertically and horizontally.
If the floor is not level it will be necessary to pack
the bottom of the guide on the low side to ensure
guides are horizontally level.
IMPORTANT:
It is important that your floor is level
to achieve an effective seal and ensure proper
operation of safety edge over time. The door
cannot be fitted off level to compensate for uneven
floors.
Once guides are positioned correctly secure to the wall
with fasteners using a central fixing hole. Check levels
again and when guides are level both vertically and
horizontally, secure to wall using appropriate fixings in
the remaining fixing holes.
Note: Do not over tighten to compensate for irreg-
ularities in the wall – instead pack wall where necessary.
Secure the head plate to the wall using appropriate
fixings through the pre-drilled fixing holes. Additional
fixings may be required depending on the structural
integrity!
MONKEY FUR PLACEMENT
Where the optional 90º box is being fitted it will be
necessary to secure to the head to prevent any marking
of the door curtain while in operation. Ensure any
fixing used is countersunk and that screw heads do not
protrude to avoid damage to door curtain. You have
the option to fit the supplied monkey fur at this point
to cover the screw heads.
Please Note
: The primary
function of the monkey fur is to protect the door curtain
from the screw heads. It may also aid draught proofing
but this is not its primary function. The monkey fur may
lead to curtain marking over time, this is not considered
warranty.
ENSURE FIXINGS ARE SUITABLE FOR
THE GARAGE WALL BUILD PROPERTIES
If the half box or full box option has
been selected the axle can be
assembled on the floor before lifting the
guides and head plates into position.
