-6-
Side Room
The minimum sideroom required is just 20mm between
the edge of the door curtain and wall bracket with a total
of 70mm from the wall to the edge of the door curtain
(Fig. 1). If the situation permits, it is recommended that
80mm is allowed between door curtain and bracket and
a total of 130mm between the door curtain and the wall
(see Fig. 2).
Fixing The Weight Bar
In most cases a weight bar may not be required unless
the door curtain is very light or is quite small and may be
prone to ballooning/barrelling.
If so, position the weight bar so that it is centrally spaced
along the bottom rail of the door. Secure with fasteners
provided and test operation. If the door feels heavy or
does not remain stationary when open half way, extra
tension may need to be added to the door springs.
Refer to the door manufacturer’s instructions for proper
adjustment procedure.
Fixing The Door Curtain To
Drum Wheel
The door curtain has to be secured to the drum wheel
with suitable fasteners.
(a) With the door in the fully closed position mark the
curtain on both ends of the door.
(b) Open the door slightly to access the marked positions.
Secure the curtain to drum wheel using self drilling
screws (two on each end). The screws should be at
least 90 degrees apart as per Fig. 4.
Manual Release
1
To disengage door for manual operation, pull the
red cord with minimum pressure then release. You
should now be able to move the door either up or
down by hand. Remember, excessive force on the
cord may result in damage to the opener.
2
To re-engage door for automatic operation repeat
the same action. Pull the red cord again and the
door should now be in automatic operation.
IMPORTANT: If the only entry to the garage is via the
garage door, Smart Openers strongly recommend the
fitting of an external key release device.
