Installation and Operating Instructions
Owners Copy: Please keep these instructions for future reference
This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY information.
DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION BEFORE READING THOROUGHLY.
MT5580P
START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property 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.
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 con-
nected 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 the 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.

MOUNT THE ADAPTOR BRACKET AND CHAIN SPREADER
Loosen the two (factory fitted) washered screws (4)
from the top of the opener (approx 4mm).
THESE WASHERED SCREWS MUST BE USED
TO FASTEN THE POLE KIT ADAPTOR.
Fasten the chain spreader (2) using the hex screws
(1) and washers (3) from the hardware bag provided
with the opener. Slide the adaptor bracket under the
loosened screws then tighten (20-22Nm).

INSTALL THE CHAIN
Fitting the Chain:
Wrap the chain around the idler pulley (1) and desired drive sprocket (as illustrated in fig 1 and 2 below),
ensuring the chain passes through the trolley assembly (3).
NOTE: Locate the chain connector (2) 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.

Tighten the chain:
Once the chain has been installed, join the two
ends together using the connector. Rotate the
adjuster until the chain has no slack.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
Once the chain has been tensioned, tighten the
lock nuts.

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
best suit 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 50mm or 200mm 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 verti-
cal centre line (2) with the bottom edge of the header
bracket on the horizontal line (4) (the horizontal line
should be 50 mm for Sectional Doors & Tracked Tilt
Doors and 200mm for One Piece Tilt doors, above the
spring 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 1800in to the upside
down position & reassemble the chain around the
pulley.
