PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Check the garage door and garage door system
DANGER!
Balancing springs are under high tension. The readjustment or loosening of the balancing springs can cause serious injuries!
For your own safety, necessary maintenance and repair work of the balancing springs should only be performed by an
expert. Never attempt to replace, readjust, repair, or move the balancing springs for the counterbalancing of the door or their
holders. Check the entire door system
(pivots, door bearings, ropes, springs and fastenings) for wear and possible damage. Check them for signs of rust, corrosion
and cracks. Error in the door system or misaligned doors can cause severe injury!Do not use the door system if repair or
adjustment work needs to be done!
The construction of the operator is not designed to operate sluggish doors, i.e. doors that can no longer or hardly be
manually opened or closed. The door must be in a mechanically healthy state that is easy to operate by hand
(EN12604).
Open the garage door approximately half way and let go. The door should maintain this position
and move neither up nor down.
If the door moves in either direction, then there is the risk that either the balancing
springs/weights are not properly adjusted or defective. In this case, increased wear and malfunctioning of the door is
expected. Check that the door can open and close correctly.
Disengage/Remove any mechanical locks that may be on
the door -- they are not needed with the use of the garage door operator.
These include in particular the locking
mechanisms connected with the door. For installation and commissioning, check the illustrated section. Take note of the text
in the appropriate sections.
2. Required Clearance
The clearance between the highest point of the door travel and the rail must be at least 30 mm. For a lower clearance
height, and if space is available, the operator can be mounted behind the opened door. In these cases, an extended door
link must be used and may be purchased separately. The necessary electrical outlet for the electrical connection should be
mounted within approx. 50 cm from the operator (refer to the electrical mains chapter).
Check these dimensions!
Important note: As an additional safety device, the use of a photocell (safety beam) is recommended
(sold separately).

3. Emergency release
For garages without a second entrance, an emergency release for the mechanical release is necessary to prevent getting
locked in the garage in the event of power failure. The emergency release is door-specific and must be ordered separately.
Check the function of the emergency release monthly.
