Many of the problems related to electric operators are due to improper installation. The following
installation procedures are recommended to minimize these problems.
Begin installation with door in closed position.
The operator is generally mounted over the center of the
door, but occasionally, off-center mounting may be required.
If required, the operator may be mounted up to 24 inches
off center, for torsion spring doors only. Extension springs
will always require center mounting.
Locate high rise point of door, Fig. 4, and use level to
mark high point on header as shown.
Remove front mounting bracket (See Fig. 1) from rail
assembly and install on front wall above spring
assembly, Fig. 5. Bottom edge of bracket should be
2 inches above high rise point marked on header.
Secure bracket to wall using either lag screws or self
tapping screws furnished in hardware package.
Resting powerhead of operator on floor, attach front end
of rails to front mounting bracket. Swing unit into position
over door and temporarily hang powerhead end with
strong rope or place on tall ladder. Rear of operator
should be as low as possible and still allow door to clear
rail assembly.
Note:
If rear of operator is mounted too
high, permanent damage to door could result.
With operator in desired position, cut steel angle iron
hangers and secure operator at rear. (Hangers not
supplied)
Caution: Raynor recommends an intermediate
hanger on all installations over 10 feet high.
With hangers in place, tighten all bracket bolts. Remove
temporary hanger or ladder.
Warning:
Be certain mounting bracket is level
and mounting pad is secure
