STEP 9
Determine the centre of the door and mark this location on the
wall above and on top of the door. Then draw two (2) lines
21.5mm on each side of the door. (
Fig. 10
).
WARNING; MAKE SURE CONCRETE, BRICK WALL
OR TIMBER LINTELS ARE SOLID AND SOUND SO AS
TO FORM A SECURE MOUNTING PLATFORM.
STEP 10
Raise the door to open position. Rest the opener on the top edge
of the door with end of the pipe/tube against the header wall
and drive unit support level with the lowest point of the open
door. (
Fig. 11
).
Note:
Do not slide opener tube/pipe on face of the door when it
is open.
Secure the opener to the ceiling above drive unit mounting
holes, with perforated angle (not supplied). A representative
mounting is shown. (
Fig. 9 & 9a
)
Connect angle and drive unit with 2 flat perforated strips of
angle (not supplied) with M8 x 20mm screws, nuts and washer.
Strips should not extend more than 18mm below centre of drive
unit mounting holes. (
Fig. 9 & 9a
).
Do not lock screws at this stage.
STEP 11
Close the door slowly. The opener pipe/tube will be elevated by
the top edge of the door as it moves. Stop the door when it is at
its highest point of travel. (
Fig. 12
)
Allow 25mm additional height for clearance between the door
and the track. Support pipe / tube in this position and the close
the door. (
Fig. 12
) This will be the height to mount the wall
bracket. Top of door must not touch tube.
WARNING: THE OPENER MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF THE
GARAGE. FAILURE TO FASTEN THE OPERATOR
CORRECTLY WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE OPENER
FAILURE CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
STEP 12
With the centre point of the door located, mark a line through
the centre of the wall bracket onto the header wall (above the
door). Using the bracket as a template mark a minimum of two
holes and drill with appropriate size bit. If necessary the wall
bracket can be anchored using more than two holes for a more
secure fitting.
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall, use
M8 or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounted onto wooden lintel
or beam, use wood screws #20 or equivalent, minimum 50mm
long. Attach the wall bracket to the support pipe assembly with
90mm long clevis pin (Fig. 13) and secure by spring clip.
