T-SERIES OPERATOR APPLICATIONS:
Drawbar operators are for commercial and industrial use
on 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 backroom requirement refer to Figure 20, Page 17. When
properly installed a drawbar operator effectively locks the
door in the closed position.
The T-Series 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
-Use with foam or pneumatic reversing edge door
components - REQUIRED where the 3 button station is
out of sight of the door or any other automatic, remote
or manual control is used to activate the door.
STANDARD FEATURES:
Limit Switches: Driven limit switches, easily adjusted over
a wide range. The motor may be removed without affecting
the limit switch adjustments
Manual Release: Permits manual operation of the door in
the event of a power failure.
Control Circuit: Standard three button open, close and stop.
24 Volts AC.
Connections For Auxiliary Entrapment Protection
Devices:
components or a photoelectric beam (across the opening)
devise.
Constant Contact To Close: Feature can be activated by
simply moving a wire on the terminal strip.
Momentary Contact To Open and Close: Standard
operation.
Use with foam or pneumatic reversing door edge
OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Digital Radio Controls: Open, Close and Stop operation.

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.
4
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.

WARNING
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
• Install only on a properly balanced garage
door. An improperly balanced door could cause
severe injury. Have a qualified service person
make repairs to cables, spring assemblys and
other hardware before installing the opener.
• Remove all 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.
• T-Series Operators are Commercial Vehicular
Door Operators and as such ARE 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).
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 opener at least 8 feet or more
above the floor.
• 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 and;
b) at a minimum height of five feet above
the floor and;
c) away from all moving parts of the door.
• Do not overtighten the clutch adjustment to
compensate for a poorly working door.
• Securely attach any WARNING signs or
placards to either the door or above the control
station as directed (see page 11).
• Connect an auxiliary entrapment protection
device (reversing edge or photoelectric device

RAIL/CHAIN ASSEMBLY 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 supplied may
be longer than required for the door height. 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 three (3) feet
it will be necessary to trim the rails in two foot
increments from the power head mounting end
as shown in Figure 2.
CAUTION
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.
: WHEN NECESSARY
link. 1/3 and 1/2 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.

NOTE: To keep #41 chain (used on
3/4 H.P. operators) centered on the

(provided) on each side of the flat, as indicated by the
arrows in Figure 4, when installing the connecting
