TO AVOID DAMAGE TO DOOR AND OPERATOR,
MAKE ALL DOOR LOCKS INOPERATIVE. SECURE
LOCK(S) IN "OPEN" POSITION.
IF THE DOOR LOCK NEEDS TO REMAIN
FUNCTIONAL, INSTALL AN INTERLOCK SWITCH.
DO NOT CONNECT ELECTRIC POWER UNTIL
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
KEEP DOOR BALANCED. STICKING OR BINDING
DOORS MUST BE REPAIRED. DOORS, DOOR
SPRINGS, CABLES, PULLEYS, BRACKETS AND
THEIR HARDWARE MAY BE UNDER EXTREME
TENSION AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY. CALL A PROFESSIONAL DOOR
SERVICEMAN TO MOVE OR ADJUST DOOR
SPRINGS OR HARDWARE.
SITE PREPARATIONS
It is imperative that the wall or mounting surface
provide adequate support for the operator.
This surface must:
a) Be rigid to prevent play between operator and
door shaft.
b) Provide a level base.
OPERATOR PREPARATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
The GH operator may be mounted on either the right (standard) or left side of door, and in either a vertical
(standard) or horizontal mounting position. Refer to the steps below if you require the hand chain and/or
disconnect chain to be on the opposite side of the operator; Or if the operator is being mounted in a horizontal
position.
Hand Chain Right/Left Conversion
Remove the outer snap ring securing the chain wheel
assembly. In reverse of disassembly, install the chain
wheel assembly on the opposite side of the gear hoist
housing.

c) Permit the operator to be fastened securely and
with the drive shaft parallel to the door shaft.
The safety and wear of the operator will be adversely
affected if any of the above requirements are not met.

OPERATOR MOUNTING
Before your operator is installed, be sure the door has been properly aligned and is working smoothly. The
operator may be wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf. If necessary, refer to the operator preparations
on page 3. Refer to the illustration and instructions below that suits your application. NOTE: The operator has a
weight of 300 lbs.
1a. Wall Mounting
The operator should generally be installed below
the door shaft, and as close to the door as
possible. Refer to Figure 3.
1b. Bracket or Shelf Mounting
The operator may be mounted either above or
below the door shaft. Refer to Figure 4.

1c. Place door sprocket on the door shaft. Do not
insert the key at this time.
2. Place drive sprocket on the appropriate side of
the operator. Do not insert the key at this time.
3. Wrap drive chain around door sprocket and join
roller chain ends together with master link.
4. Raise operator to approximate mounting position
using suitable lifting apparatus and position chain
over operator sprocket.
5. Raise or lower operator until the chain is taut (not
tight). Make sure the operator output shaft is
parallel to door shaft and sprockets are aligned.
When in position, secure the operator to wall or
mounting bracket.
6. Align sprockets and secure, (see Figure 5).
IMPORTANT:
provide adequate support, prevent play
between operator and door shaft, and permit
operator to be fastened securely and with the
drive shaft parallel to the door shaft.
The shelf or bracket must

sprocket is properly
aligned with drive
before securing to
the shaft.
Chain Keeper

This operator is equipped with a manual hoist. An
electrical interlock will disable the electrical controls
when the hoist is used.
To operate the hoist:
1. Pull the disconnect chain (small chain) to engage
the hoist mechanism. The disconnect chain may be
locked in position by slipping the end through the
keyhole of the chain keeper mounted on the wall.
2. Operate the door in the desired direction by pulling
on one side or the other of the continuous loop hoist
chain (large chain).
3. The disconnect chain must be released from the
chain keeper before the door will operate again
electrically.

7. Install Hand Chain
Place hand chain around hand chain wheel. Be
sure to pass it through both openings in the chain
guide. Remove enough links so chain hangs
approximately two feet above the floor
8. Mount Chain Keeper / Keyhole Bracket
Using suitable hardware mount the chain keeper
approximately 4 feet above the floor, near the free
hanging chain. Remove disconnect sash chain
from bag. Install locking collar onto the disconnect
chain. Place end through the keyhole in the chain
keeper. With the disconnect chain having no
slack slide collar up 3” from keyhole in the chain
keeper and lock into place by tightening the set
screw. Confirm that when the sash chain is
pulled, the locking collar is against the chain
keeper and at the same time, the bevel gears
located in the operator hoist mechanism are in full
engagment. If not then readjust the collar to
assure full engagment. Remove excesss links if
necessary.
EMERGENCY MANUAL OPERATION
This operator has provisions for manually operating the door in case of emergency or power failure.

WARNING
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL)
SENSING EDGES
All types of sensing edges with an isolated normally
open (N.O.) output are compatible with your operator.
This includes pneumatic and electric edges. If your
door does not have a bottom sensing edge and you
wish to purchase one, contact the supplier of your
operator.
If not pre-installed by the door manufacturer, mount
the sensing edge on the door according to the
instructions provided with the edge. The sensing
edge may be electrically connected by either coiled
cord or take-up reel. Refer to the steps below.
Important Notes:
a) Proceed with Limit Switch Adjustments before
making any sensing edge wiring connections to
operator as described below.
b) Electrician must hardwire the junction box to the
operator electrical box in accordance with local
codes.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A
SENSING EDGE OR OTHER ENTRAPMENT
PROTECTION DEVICE BE USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THIS OPERATOR.
WIRING:
For wiring of your sensing device to the operator,
refer to the schematic diagram supplied with your
operator. See field connection terminals identified
as Sensing Device or Safety Edge.
TAKE-UP REEL: Take-up reel should be installed
12" above the top of the door.
COIL CORD: Connect operator end of coil cord to
junction box (not supplied) fastened to the wall
approximately halfway up the door opening.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
MAKE SURE THE LIMIT NUTS ARE POSITIONED BETWEEN THE LIMIT SWITCH ACTUATORS BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH ADJUSTMENTS.
1. To adjust limit nuts depress retaining plate to allow
nut to spin freely. After adjustment, release plate
and ensure it seats fully in slots of both nuts.
2. To increase door travel, spin nut away from
actuator. To decrease door travel, spin limit nut
toward actuator.
3. Adjust open limit nut so that door will stop in open
position with the bottom of the door even with top
of door opening.
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for close cycle. Adjust close
limit nut so that actuator is engaged as door fully
seats at the floor.
