DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION BEFORE READING THOROUGHLY.
START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
•Failure tocomply withthefollowinginstructions may result inseriouspersonalinjury orproperty damage.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully.
• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed and
operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.
These safety alert symbols mean WARNING : A possible risk to personal safety or
property damage exists.
1
Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the
garage door opener compensate for a binding or
sticking garage door. Sticking, binding or
unbalanced doors must be repaired before
installing this opener.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing
while installing or servicing a garage door opener.
Frequently examine the door installation, in
particular cable, springs and mountings for signs of
wear, damage or imbalance. Do not use if repair or
adjustment is needed since springs and hardware
are under extreme tension and a fault can cause
serious personal injury.
To avoid serious personal injury from
entanglement, remove all ropes, chains and
locks connected to the garage door before
installing the door opener.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with
your local building and electrical codes.
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
necessary adjustments.
This opener should not be installed in a damp
or wet space exposed to weather.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
The Protector SystemTMmust be used for all
installations where the closing force as
measured on the bottom of the door is over
400N (40kgf). Excessive force will interfere with the
proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or
damage the garage door.
After installation, ensure that the parts of the
door do not extend over public footpaths or
roads.
Install the wireless wall control (or any additional
wall control) 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 transmitter(s).Serious
personal injury from a closing garage door may
result from misuse of the opener.
Permanently fasten the Warning Labels in
Prominent Places, adjacent to Wall Controls and
manual release mechanisms as a reminder of safe
operating procedures.
Activate opener only when the door is in full
view, free of obstructions and the 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, or
door controls.
Disconnect electric power to the garage door
opener before making repairs or removing
covers.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a CM1702 outside quick release must be installed.
This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

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. Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, model CM1702 Outside Quick Release
Accessory is required. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power
failure.
4. Complete the following test to make sure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
• Lift the door about halfway. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking. If your door binds, sticks, or is out of
balance, call a trained door technician.

ASSEMBLE POLE PACK
Remove the 5 sectional poles from the carton and lay
them out on the floor. The end pole (i.e the pole without
a tapered edge) should be placed at the header end.
Assemble the poles by inserting the tapered end into the
non-Tapered end of the next pole as illustrated. Ensure
that each pole is pushed firmly into the next.
NOTE: If using a mallet to drive the joins home, use
a piece of timber at each end to minimise burring.

INSTALL THE TROLLEY AND IDLER PULLEY
Slide the trolley assembly (1) onto the pole (3) taking note
of the door direction arrow (fig 1). The trolley should be
located midway along the pole.
Insert the pole (3) into the idler pulley assembly (2) as
illustrated.

INSTALL THE POLE ADAPTOR
Remove the four (factory fitted) washered screws (1).
THESE WASHERED SCREWS MUST BE USED TO FASTEN
THE POLE KIT ADAPTOR.
Place the pole adaptor bracket on the opener as illustrated
using the 4 washered screws (1) to fasten in place (tighten to
between 20-22Nm).

Slide the stop collar (1) onto the pole (2) (opener
end). Fit the pole through the adaptor bracket (3) to
the opener, then fasten the stop collar above the
edge of the lens cover as illustrated.
Move the stop collar to the open limit on the pole,
set the stop collar back 25mm toward the opener
and fasten in place. Observe the absolute stop
position.

Fitting the Chain:
Wrap the chain around the idler pulley (1) and drive
sprocket (as illustrated in fig 1), ensuring the chain passes
through the trolley assembly (3).
NOTE: Locate the chain connector as illustrated above
approximately 300mm from the Idler pulley.
Additional Step for 2750mm Pole
All Chain kits supplied are for 3000mm poles. You will
need to remove the pre-measured section of chain for
use with the 2750mm pole option.
Locate the two removable links and remove the section
of chain between them. Once the section of chain has
been removed use one of the joiners to re-join the
shortened chain assembly.
fig. 1
Tighten the Chain
Once the chain has been installed, join the two
ends together using the connector. Tighten the
connector until the chain has no slack.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
Once the chain has been tensioned, tighten the
lock nuts.
NOTE: Use the tube of grease provided to
lubricate the chain and sprocket.

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.
Height depends on door type refer section 15.

13
INSTALL THE HEADER BRACKET
NOTE: Refer to vertical centre and horizontal lines
created in section 12 for proper placement of header
bracket.
A. Wall mount: centre the header bracket (1) on the
vertical centre line (2) with the bottom edge of the
header bracket on the horizontal line (the horizontal line
should be 50 mm for Sectional Doors & Tracked Tilt
Doors and 200mm for One Piece Tilt doors, above the
spring (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 centre line (2) onto the
ceiling. Centre the header bracket (1) on the vertical
mark no more than 150mm (6") from the wall. 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.
The Idler Pulley Bracket will also need to be turned
upside down (fig 1). To do this remove the chain from
the pulley, twist the Idler bracket 180
0
in to the upside
down position & reassemble the chain around the
pulley.
