Thank you for purchasing the ORCA GarageAce. The unit is easy to install
and provided these instructions are followed, will provide many years of
smooth, trouble-free operation.

The garage door must be properly balanced and easy to open manually before

Important Information
Do not allow children to play with door controls.
Keep remote controls away from children.
Watch the moving door and keep people away until the door is completely
opened or closed.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. Before connecting the unit to the power supply, make sure the voltage
indicated on the appliance corresponds with the voltage in your garage.
Otherwise, contact your dealer and DO NOT use the unit.
2. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended accessories.
3. Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying
capacity. Care should be taken to arrange the power cord so that it cannot
be pulled or entangled.
4. Never disconnect by pulling the cord; grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Close attention is necessary when installing or operating near children
or pets.
6. Do not handle plug with wet hands.
7. To protect against fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not expose
cord or electric plugs to water vapours or other liquids.
8. Do not use the appliance if it appears damaged. All repairs, including
replacement of the power cable, must only be carried out by the authorized
service centre.
9. Use caution when operating the manual release with the door open since
the door may fall rapidly due to wear or broken springs or a door not
properly balanced.
10. Frequently examine the installation, in particular cables, springs and
mountings for signs of wear, damage or poor balance. Do not use if repair
or adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an incorrectly
balanced door can lead to injury.
Read all instructions carefully.
Garage Door Opener for Tilt Doors and
Sectional Doors only.
Maintenance
No particular maintenance is required for the Motor Control Unit. However,
check at least twice a year that the unit is in proper working order. Adjust
if necessary the motor force. Make sure that the safety devices are working
effectively. Check the tension on the chain. An adjustable bolt on the
Front Assembly will tighten/loosen this tension (Fig 8).
Check once a month that the drive reverses when an object (40mm or
higher) is placed in the door’s path. Adjust if necessaryand recheck since
an incorrect adjustment may present a hazard.
If you experience any problems, contact ORCA on Freephone 0800
ORCAHELP.
