sectional overhead doors which use horizontal track with
normal radius. A draw bar operator is not suitable for doors
with high lift exceeding 24 inches or vertical lift doors. The
installation requires a minimum clearance of 5 inches above
the high arc of the door (the highest point reached by the door
at any part of its travel). For back-room requirement refer to
Figure 24, Page 24. When properly installed a drawbar
operator effectively locks the door in the closed position.

The Model AUD drawbar operators are used in the
following applications:

-Continuous Duty, Medium Cycle Commercial installations
only

-Indoor Use Only

-Up to 22 foot high doors with a maximum area of 480
square feet for 3/4 HP, 280 square feet for 1/2 HP and 200
square feet for 1/3 HP - maximum area slightly higher for
lighter doors - consult factory

- To operate in Momentary Contact To Close mode and
comply with the UL325 Entrapment Protection requirements
effective Aug. 29, 2010, the door system must include one of
the following (a, b, or c):
(a) Linear Corp. Photo-Beam System that consists of an
emitter, Part No. 217792 and detector, Part No. 217800 for
doors as described above up to 30 FT wide. See Page 10.
(b) Any Miller Edge ME, MT/MU, and CPT family of edges,

PREPARATION

WARNING

ELECTRIC DOOR OPENERS ARE DESIGNED

FOR DOORS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION,

PROPERLY COUNTERBALANCED AND

PROPERLY ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

THE DOOR MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS.

Before starting the installation of the operator, the door must be in
good working condition and properly counterbalanced. Inspect the
door and track for loose or missing hardware. Test the door
manually for balance and ease of operation. Lubricate door hinges
and rollers. If necessary, adjust the springs for proper
counterbalance of the door.
Before removing the operator powerhead from the shipping carton,
inspect the nameplate on the cover of the operator control box to
verify that it is the correct model for the intended application and
that the voltage and phase are in accordance with electrical power
provided at the job site.

The rails and drawbar chain/hardware package are shipped
separately from the powerhead. Warning: Rope off the area

to keep personnel and vehicles clear of the door and floor
space in the vicinity of the operator during the
installation.

WARNING

SPRINGS ARE SUBJECT TO VERY
HIGH FORCES AT ALL TIMES AND

ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE ONLY

BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL

DOOR INSTALLER.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE

WARNING

INJURY OR DEATH:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!

• Install only on a properly operating and balanced
garage door. A door that is operating improperly
could cause severe injury. Have qualified service
personnel make repairs to cables, spring assemblies
and other hardware before installing the opener.

• Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make
inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically and/or
electrically interlocked to the power unit) that are
connected to the garage door before installing the
opener.

• Lightweight doors (fiberglass, aluminum etc.)
must be reinforced to avoid door damage. Check

the door manufacturer’s instruction manual for a

bracing procedure or the availability or a
Reinforcement Kit. See Page 9.

• Model AUD is a Commercial Vehicular Door
Operator and as such IS NOT recommended for
pedestrian traffic. In installations where it is known
that pedestrians will be nearby ensure a pedestrian
door is available for entrance and exit to the
building. In addition YOU MUST install an
auxiliary entrapment protection device (reversing
door edge or photoelectric beam device).

• Connect an auxiliary entrapment protection
device (reversing edge or photoelectric device across
the door opening). A device of this type is
STRONGLY ADVISED FOR ALL commercial
operator installations. An auxiliary entrapment
protection device is REQUIRED when the three
button control station is out of sight of the door or
any other automatic or manual control is used.

• Install the door operator at least 8 feet or more
above the floor if the operator has exposed moving
parts.

• Do not connect the opener to the source of power
until instructed to do so.

• Locate the control station:

a) within sight of the door,

b) at a minimum height of five feet above the
floor so small children cannot reach it,

c) away from all moving parts of the door, and

d) far enough away from the door, or positioned

such that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the door while operating the
controls.

Do not overtighten the clutch adjustment to

compensate for a poorly working door.

Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to

the control station in a prominent location.

All warning signs and placards must be installed

so they are visible in the area of the door.

After installing the opener, all safety features

must be tested for proper operation (see page 19).

For products having a manual release, instruct the

end user on the operation of the manual release.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

RAIL/CHAIN ASSEMBLY

Refer to Figure 1 parts illustrations. The part names and item numbers are
referenced identically to the part names and numbers in the assembly procedures
that follow. Before starting assembly of the operator track check for the
proper length. The tracks are supplied for 8 Foot, 10/12/14 Foot,
16/18 Foot and 20/22 Foot high doors. The tracks should be
three (3) feet longer than the door height. If the tracks
supplied with the operator are longer than the door
height plus 3 feet, it will be necessary to cut off two
feet (or 4 feet for 10 Foot rail) from the power head
mounting end as shown in Figure 2.

CAUTION: WHEN NECESSARY TO
CUT THE TRACK ENSURE THE
ENDS ARE LINED UP AS IN
FIGURE 2.

1) Assemble the
operator track by
assembling the items
as shown in Figure 2.

2) After the track is assembled, position track assembly onto
the operator power head and attach with four 3/8”-16 x 1” bolts,
lock washers and nuts (supplied in a separate hardware package
#100470).

3) Referring to Figure 1 , 2 and 3 (below) , slide the trolley
onto the track with the chain take up bolt lug (C) toward the
power head. Thread one 3/8-16 keps nut (attached star washer)
onto the Chain take up bolt with the keps part (attached star
washer) away from the chain attachment end. Insert the chain
take up bolt threaded end through the lug hole on the trolley (C)
just far enough to start a second 3/8-16 keps nut. Attach one end
of the chain to the opposite end of the threaded stud using a 3­piece chain link (provided). See Figure 3.

the connecting link. One-third horsepower operators use the

narrower #65 chain and the use of the spacers is not required.

Install chain around drive sprocket at operator head then around
idler at front end of rail and thread through opening at front end
of carrier. If the rail is equipped with a chain guide-spacer near
its center (12 foot rail or longer only) pass the chain over it in one
direction and under it in the other direction to separate the two
lengths of chain. Apply initial tension by pushing forward on the
carrier while pulling chain tight through opening in the carrier in
the direction of D. When maximum tension has been applied by
this means, swing chain forward and insert retaining plate, E, in
place. Insert 1/4-20 x 5/8 hex head machine screw through
retaining plate, E, and tighten plate in place. Make final
adjustment of chain tension to remove excess sag by adjusting
nuts on threaded rod at chain lug, C.
