Chamberlain MT600, MT1000 User Manual

Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Read these instructions carefully

• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.

These safety alert symbols mean Warning – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions carefully.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, Model 1702E Outside Quick Release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the garage door opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury.

Do not attempt to loose, move or adjust them.

Call for garage door service.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing

while installing or servicing a garage door opener. To avoid serious personal injury from

entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes. Connect

the power supply cord only to properly earthed mains.

Lightweight doors of fiberglass, aluminum or steel must be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage. (See page 6.) The best solution is

to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.

The safety reverse system test is very important. Your garage door MUST reverse on

contact with a 40mm obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door.

Repeat the test once a month and make any needed adjustments.

This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Door must not extend over public byway during operation.

Start by Reading These Important Safety Instructions

The Protector System must be installed when the force at the edge of the closing door force exceeds 400N (40kg). Excessive force will

interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

Permanently fasten the caution label adjacent to the wall-mounted door control control button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to garage door.

Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push buttons) in a location where the

garage door is visible, at a height of at least

1.5m and out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious personal injury from a

closing garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Use manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed. Do

not use the red handle to pull the door open or closed.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before making repairs or removing covers.

This product is provided with a power supply cord of special design which, if damaged, must be

replaced by a power supply cord of the same type; such a power supply cord may be obtained

and fitted by a specialist.

ASSEMBLY SECTION

IMPORTANT: If you have a canopy door, you need to use the instructions packed with The Chamberlain Arm™ Accessory in conjunction with this Owner's Manual when assembling the rail.

Completed Installation

As you proceed with the assembly, installation and adjustment procedures in this manual, you may find it helpful to refer back to this illustration of a completed installation.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

1. Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.

2. Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware (not supplied) may be required.

3. Depending on your door's construction, you might need a special door arm. See your dealer.

4. Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, Model 1702E Outside Quick Release Accessory is required. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

INSTALLATION SECTION

Wear protective goggles when working overhead to protect your eyes from injury. Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to the garage door. To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener.

It is recommended that the opener be installed 2,1m (7 feet) or more above the floor where space permits.

Position the Header Bracket

The header bracket must be rigidly fastened to a structural support of the garage. Reinforce the wall or ceiling with a 40mm (1-1/2") board if necessary. Failure to comply may result in improper operation of safety reverse system.

You can attach the header bracket either to the header wall (1) or to the ceiling (3). Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. With the door closed, mark the vertical centerline (2) of the garage door. Extend line onto header wall above the door. Open door to highest point of travel. Draw an intersecting horizontal line (4) on header wall 5 cm (2") above high point to provide travel clearance for top edge of door.

Install the Header Bracket

NOTE: Refer to vertical center and horizontal lines created in step 12 for proper placement of header bracket.

A. Wall Mount: Center the header bracket (1) on the vertical

center line (2) with the bottom edge of the header bracket on the horizontal line (4) (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling). Mark all of the header bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (3).

B. Ceiling Mount: Extend vertical center line (2) onto the

ceiling. Center the header bracket (1) on the vertical mark no more than 150mm (6") from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the opener. Mark all of the header bracket holes (5). Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (3). For concrete ceiling mount, use concrete anchors provided.

50mm (2")

150mm (6")

Attach Rail to Header Bracket

Position opener on garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material to protect the cover. Raise rail until holes in the header sleeve and holes in the header bracket align. Join with clevis pin (1). Insert ring fastener (2) to secure.

NOTE: To enable the rail to clear sectional door springs, it may be necessary to lift opener onto a temporary support. The opener must either be secured to a support or held firmly in place by another person.
