MOVING DOOR

Periodically lubricate all moving parts of door.
3. If door has a sensing edge, check
operations monthly. Make any necessary
repairs to keep it functional.
4. AT LEAST twice a year, manually operate
door. The Door should open and close freely.
If it does not, the door must be taken out of
service and a trained service representative
must correct the condition causing
the malfunction.

overheating by an internal thermal protector.
If the operator ceases to function because
motor protector has tripped, a trained service
technician may need to correct the condition
which caused the overheating. When motor

automatically reset and normal operation can
be resumed.
