GENERAL FITTING REQUIREMENTS 

 

FORWARD 

Your opener is comprised of 2 major individual components being, Drive Unit

 

and Control Box

This section of 

the  manual  deals  with  the  basic  fitting  requirements  which  should  be  met 

before 

you  attempt  to  install  your 

opener. Study them carefully to ensure that your door and surroundings are suitable for such an installation.   

IMPORTANT NOTE:   

Some of the procedures outlined in this manual require a degree of technical and mechanical skill. It is not 

recommended that your Opener be installed by a Home Handyman. The Opener should always be fitted 

and adjusted by an experienced, qualified Garage Door Opener Installer.

SIDE ROOM REQUIREMENTS 

Fig  4

  shows  and  maximum  the  minimum  amount  of  side  room  that  is  required  between  the  face  of  the 

drum wheel and the edge of the door mounting bracket. The ideal distance should be between 85~125mm 

as indicated.

CHECK OPERATION OF THE DOOR 

Before  beginning  the  installation  of  the  Opener,  check  the  operation  of  the  door.  The  door  must  be  well 

balanced  and  operate  smoothly  and  freely.  When  opened  to  between  900~1200mm  from  the  floor  and 

released,  the  door  should  remain  in  one  fixed  position  and  not  rise  or  fall.  The  door  should  not  bind  or 

stick in the guide tracks. The ideal operational effort, required to open or close the door, should not exceed 

a  force  of  10kg. 

Superlift  does  not  recommend  the  installation  of  an  Automatic  Opener  to  a  badly 

worn or damaged door.

FIXING OF WEIGHT BARS (Optional – Not Supplied) 

Weight bars are generally only required on very light weight doors. Their main purpose is to eliminate the 

possibility  of  the  door  curtain  “ballooning”  on  start-up  from  the  fully  open  position.  If  your  door 

“balloons”  on  initial  start-up,  after  installing  your  new  opener,  we  recommend  that  you  fit  one  or  two 

weight bars to the bottom edge of your door (total weight 3~5kg) as detailed below. 

Move  the  door  manually  to  the  mid  open  position.  Place  the  weight  bars  equally  apart  on  the  bottom     

rail of the door and secure them with appropriate fasteners. 

Fig 5

 Once the weight bars have been fitted the 

door should have a natural tendency to lightly free fall from the mid open position.
