Test drop the shutter as follows:
Activate the test handle. Record the amount of time the shutter takes to close and verify it closes between 6 to 24 inches per second. To reset the shutter, insert the pin into
the test handle. For tube motor or GCX motor operated shutters, the shutter is ready to be operated.
NOTE:
For GCX operators, verify that the manual release arm travels fully upward, to re-engage the operator, as shown in Figure 11C.
For manual lift-up and crank operated shutters, the push-down spring must be reset. This is accomplished by raising the shutter to the fully open position. At this point the
shutter is ready for normal operation, no tools are required. Repeat procedure to verify it is working correctly. Complete the release form in the back of this manual and return
it to the factory.
STEP 14
VERIFY DROP SPEED.
For manual lift-up operated or crank operated shutters: if drop speed is less than 6” per second, increase the push-down spring tension. If the drop speed is more than 24” per
second, reduce the push-down spring tension. (per step 11A). If the drop speed cannot be adjusted to within 6” and 24” per second, contact Wayne-Dalton.
STEP 15
HOODS, SUPPORTS & HOUSINGS (UNDER LINTEL)
(Skip to next section for brackets mounted above lintel)
HINT:
LOWER THE SHUTTER TO OFFER THE MAXIMUM
CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE COIL AND THE LINTEL.
REFER TO FIGURE #21 AND #22. INSTALL THE FLAME
BAFFLE AND HOOD STRAPS IN THE LINTEL HOLES
PREPARED EARLIER. TEST THE FLAME BAFFLE FOR
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. IT SHOULD HAVE THE ABIL-
ITY TO SWING DOWN AND REST ON THE BARREL/COIL
ASSEMBLY WITHOUT RESTRICTING DOOR OPERATION.
IMPORTANT:
THE FRONT HOOD MAY CONTAIN A
FLAME BAFFLE FUSIBLE TAB LOCATED INSIDE. THE
FLAME BAFFLE (IF PROVIDED) MUST REST ABOVE THIS
TAB AND BE CONTAINED BY IT (see Figure #22).
WARNING
ROPE OFF THE OPENING TO KEEP PERSONS FROM ENTERING AREA DURING TEST DROP. ENSURE ALL PERSONS ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE OPENING AND THE OPENING IS
FREE OF OBJECTS AND DEBRIS. THE SHUTTER DESCENDS RAPIDLY DURING TEST PROCEDURE AND COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
