STEP 18

 MARTIN TOP ROLLER BRACKETS

Loosen the bolts and nuts on the top roller brackets.   Slide the 
roller shaft into the roller tube of each roller bracket.   Insert the 
roller into the curve of the horizontal track. The roller tube is on the 
bottom side of the top roller bracket. (See Figures 14A,14B)

If the top door section has a strut, place the strut on or under the 
top roller bracket. (See Figures 14A,14B) Fasten each top roller 
bracket to the stile. For added strength on heavy doors, fasten 
each top roller bracket to the stile with extra 1/4" X 1” thread 
forming screws.   Adjust the top roller bracket so that the top door 
section lightly touches the header.   Tighten the bolts and nuts. 
(See Figures 14A,14B)

Note: If steel door includes a Martin Side Mount Opener, install 
opener door bracket now. See Opener Instruction Manual.

LOCK-ON SIDE BEARING BRACKETS

Rotate and fasten the left and right lock-on side bearing brackets 
to the horizontal track angle.   (See Figure 14A,14B)   The center 
line measurement in Figure 14B should match the center line 
measurement in Figure 17B.   (Fasten vertical and solid to jambs.)

STEP 19

PULL DOWN ROPE & OPTIONAL LIFT HANDLES

About 12“ (305) above the center of the door, fasten the rope strap 
to the side of the reverse angle. Fasten the end of the pull down 
rope to the rope strap. (See Figure 14C)   Fasten the other end of 
the pull down rope to the bottom roller bracket. (See Figure 14D) 
WARNING!   To help protect children, do not fasten pull down rope 
to an electrically operated door.
