Mounting Operator for a Track Type
Door
Step 4 - Determine Bracket Position
Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the
top door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall
above the door (
fig 10
) and mark a line 0.197” (60mm)
above it.
Determine the centre point on the wall above and on top of
the door. Then draw two lines 0.0705” (21.5mm) on each
side of the centre point (
fig.11
).
Step 5 - Mounting the Wall Bracket
The wall bracket should be mounted 0.197” (60mm) above
highest point of the doors travel, 0.0705” (21.5mm) from
the centre point (
fig.11
).
If the wall bracket is mounted onto concrete or brick wall,
use 8mm or 5/6 loxins or dynabolts. If mounting onto
wooden lintel or beam, use wood screw #20 or equivalent
(minimum 1.97” (50mm) long).
WARNING:
Make sure concrete, brick wall or timber lintels
are solid and sound so as to form a secure mounting
platform.
Step 6 - Attach the C-Rail to the Wall Bracket
When the wall bracket is firmly secured in its proper
position, attach the C-Rail support assembly to wall bracket
with 0.295” (90mm) long clevis pin and secure with
supplied snap pin (
fig.12
).
Leave the drive unit in its packing box for protection during
installation.
Step 7 - Securing the Powerhead to the
Ceiling
Raise the drive unit from the packing box and support it
in a horizontal position with a step ladder, then open the
garage door. Rest the operator on the open door and use a
scrap piece of wood to bring it to horizontal level. Line up
the track perpendicular to the wall.
Secure the perforated angle (not supplied) to the ceiling
above where drive unit mounting holes will be once fully
installed (
fig.13
).
Connect angle and drive unit with two flat perforated strips
of angle (not supplied) with M8 x 20mm screws, and nuts.
Strips should not extend more than 0.059” (18mm) below
centre of drive unit mounting holes (
fig 13
).
