Preparing Your Door
Before you begin:
• Remove any ropes connected to door.
• Raise and lower the door to ensure the door does not bind or
stick and is properly balanced. If your door binds, sticks or is
out of balance refer to the door manufacturer for more
information.
For live shaft type doors the drive shaft needs to extend 1-1/2"
beyond the door mount bracket.
• If the operator is mounted below 8 feet (2.5 m), a chain guard
must be installed to protect against possible injury. See
accessories page.
To prevent damage to door and operator:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the
operator.
• ONLY operate door operator at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid
malfunction and damage.
• DO NOT exceed 10 complete cycles of door operation per
hour.
• DO NOT run operator if the door is locked.
• Chain guard to be installed where the drive chain is exposed
lower than 8 feet (2.5 m).
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if door
binds, sticks or is out of balance. An unbalanced door may
not reverse when required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust door, door springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are
under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to door
BEFORE installing and operating door operator to avoid
entanglement.
• DO NOT install operator below 6 feet (1.83 m).
