Installation of Track System - Always work in pairs.
• The track system comprises an aluminium track section and a hinged / removable cover.
(Please note: Sometimes there can be a slight bend to the length of long track extrusion
but this is easily removed by fixing from one end and straightening it up as you go).
Being made from aluminium the track has a certain amount of flexibility.
• The operator is mounted either on framework or on the area above the doorway, which
should always be checked to ensure a suitable fixing can be obtained to carry the
imposed weight of the proposed door leaf/s. Below is an indicator of fixing types,
this is a guide only as each door set should be assessed individually by the installation
engineers.
• Align the header on the fitting section 20mm up from clear opening height and level.
Mark through one of the bottom fitting holes at each end. Remove the header, drill tap
and fix the unit.
• Attention should be paid to what fixings are used when fitting in the area the wheels roll
past. Take into consideration wire runs from sensors and Mains spurs.
• Keep the inside of the track where the wheels run free from dirt and drilling swarf.
• Allow a minimum of 330mm from the frame outward, for the canopy to be raised for
repairs and maintenance.
