Safety instructions
Caution!
Walls and ceiling must be solid and stable.
Only install the operator on a correctly aligned door.
An incorrectly aligned door could cause serious injury.
The operator may be installed, connected and commissioned
by competent personnel only.
Do not move the door, if there are any people, animals or objects
in the area of movement.
Keep children, disabled persons and animals away from the door.
Wear safety glasses when drilling the fastening holes.
Cover the operator and track during drilling to prevent dirt from entering
the operator unit or operator track.
Use only approved fasteners (e.g. anchor
fi
ttings, screws).
The fasteners must be suitable to the material of the ceilings and walls.
The supplied track supply line must not be shortened.
Use only an original extension set to extend the line.
Live parts of the operator (voltage-carrying parts, e.g. C-track)
may not be connected to the ground or with live parts or grounding
conductors of other electrical circuits.
Safety-related preparation
of the door
Caution!
The preparations must be made with the utmost care,
since faulty preparations can lead to serious injuries
as well as major damage to the operator and your garage.
Caution! Risk of death!
Remove all cords, straps and locks necessary to operate
the door by hand.
Doors must be stable in themselves, since high traction and
compression forces are encountered. Reinforce lighter doors
made of plastic or aluminium if necessary before installation.
Ask a specialist retailer for advice.
All existing mechanical door locks must be removed or made
non-functional before beginning installation.
Check that the door runs smoothly.
The door must be counterbalanced.
Test:
Half-open the door by hand. The door must remain in this
position. If the door moves up or down, re-adjust the door
mechanically. Ask a specialist retailer for advice.
Check the distance between the highest running point of the door (THP,
see Figure 11) and the lower edge of the C-track. The distance between
the THP and the lower edge of the C-track must be between 5 mm and
65 mm; the angle of the door arm must be max. 30° (see graphic 21).
If the distance is less than this, the operator must be moved back and
a longer push rod must be installed. Ask a specialist retailer for advice.
The travel path of the operator must be free of obstacles.
Obstacles must be properly removed before installation
since collisions are a safety risk and can damage the operator.
Adjusting the top roll of a sectional door
Lay the emergency release outside
Caution!
Most garages do not have a separate entrance (e.g. slip door).
That is why the emergency release on the operator must
be led outside to make it possible to open the door from
outside in the event of a power failure or door defects.
To do so, use the Bowden cable (18) or a release lock (19),
which is not included in delivery.

Installing slip door safety device
Caution!
If a slip door is in set into the door, but not a slip door safety
device, a slip door safety device (20) must be installed.
(See accessory instructions for installation).
