along the door until you achieve the dimensions
at right. For best results, the straight leg of the
lever arm should be as close as possible to the
arched jamb (1/2” min).
3. Drop the motor into the base plate and hold on
wall at anticipated mounting location. Dry fit the
lever arm and adjust height of entire assembly
as necessary for proper arm clearance when
fully open.
4. Mark the height of base plate. Mount the plate
as described in “Installing the Motor,” and
continue with normal installation.
Mounting instructions Option 2
1.
Position the door in open position and steady it
2.
While up on a platform/ladder, hold the motor
position with the arms
3. Hold the motor up in the approximate position
while swinging arm out to reach door in the
open position
4. If position and movement work well, mark
motor location
5.
Bolt the motor temporarily to the marked
position
6. Then test reach (open position) and the
positioning (closed position)
7. If the motor arms clear the jamb, and the door
moves as intended then you can continue with
motor installation
NOTE:
Securely mounting the base plate is very
important. If needed, drill additional mounting
holes to affix the plate directly to the jamb. It is
also preferable that the arm be positioned past the
door’s center point or roughly 2/3rds of the door
width.
