This manual contains IMPORTANT SAFETY information

DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION BEFORE READING THOROUGHLY

START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Failuretocomplywith the following instructions may resultin serious personalinjuryorpropertydamage.

• 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

efore installing this opener.

b
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while

installing or servicing a garage door opener. Wear gloves,
safety goggles and suitable protective clothing where
appropriate.

Frequently examine the door installation, in particular
cable, springs andmountings 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 connected 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 40 mm
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 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.

Use the Manual Release only for the seperation of the
carriage from the drive and - if possible - ONLY with the
door closed. Do not use the red handle to push the door
up or pullit down. Operation ofthe emergency releasecan
lead to uncontrolled movements of the door, if springs are
weak or broken or if the door is unbalanced. Mount the
release handle of the emergency release at a height less
than 1.8 m from the floor.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a E1702M outside quick release must be installed. This
accessory allows manual operation of the garage

be installed on all garage door openers.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

1. Look at the wall and ceiling above the garage door. (The opener and header bracket must be securely fastened to structural

supports.)

. Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware (not supplied) may

2

be required.

3. Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, model E1702M 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, 20 kgf is the absolute maximum allowable force to raise or
lower the door in any position. If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained door technician.

DOOR TYPES

ASSEMBLING THE 3 PIECE SEGMENTED RAIL

8

NOTE: For 1 piece preassembled rails, proceed to the next step “TIGHTEN THE BELT”.

he segmented rail is largely preassembled and consists of 3 parts. The carriage, push rod, release handle, the guide pulley

T
and the lintel bracket with belt tensioner are in the front part (A). The seating for the drive shaft and the sprocket are in the
rear part (B). Hardware items are placed in the rails during transportation - remove these. Lay the front and rear rail sections
one behind the other.

. Remove cable ties that secure the belt.

1

2. Pull apart the two rail sections completely in order to create a gap for the middle section (C). This rail is designed in such a
way so as to easily add the middle section. Slide the 2 connecting pieces (D) over the seams of the rail sections up to the
markings. To secure the connecting pieces, bend the sheet metal lugs outwards with a suitable tool. The assembly of the rail
is complete.

TIGHTEN THE BELT

9

Note: The spring must be able to compress and bounce
during operation. Final tensioning can be performed after
installation if necessary. Over tightening the belt may
overload the system and cause excessive wear.

1.Tension the belt by adjusting the nut (1), on the pulley
assembly, clockwise until the spring is engaged.

2.Continue tightening to compress the spring and remove all the
slack in the belt. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN but ensure belt is
firm.

3.37-41 mm as indicated in the diagram is normal.

FASTEN RAIL TO OPENER

10

1.Slide the RAIL BRACKET (1) onto the powerhead end of the
rail (A) around 200 mm.

2.Position the rail drive spocket (2) over the opener motor shaft
(3) and push down to install.

3.Secure the rail on the opener with two C-Rail brackets (4) and
the screws (5).

This completes the assembly of the door opener to the rail.

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.

HEADER BRACKET POSITIONING

11

he header bracket must be rigidly fastened to a

T
structural support of the garage. Reinforce the wall or
ceiling with a 40 mm (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 will
work best for your particular requirements.

With the door closed, mark the vertical centre line (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 at least 50 mm above high
point to provide travel clearance for top edge of door.

INSTALL THE HEADER BRACKET

12

NOTE: Refer to vertical centre and horizontal lines created in
the previous section for proper placement of header bracket.

A. Wall mount: centre the header bracket (1) on the vertical

centre line (2) with the bottom edge of the header bracket on
the horizontal line (4) (with the arrow pointing toward the
ceiling). Drill and secure the Header Bracket using the most
suitable variation of holes (5). If using the wood screws
provided, uses a 4.5 mm pilot drill. If securing to a metal fixture,
self tapping “tek” screws may be more suitable.

B. Ceiling mount: extend vertical centre line (2) onto the ceiling.

Centre the header bracket (1) on the vertical mark no more
than 150 mm (6") from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing
toward the opener. Drill and secure the Header Bracket using
the most suitable variation of holes (5). If using the wood
screws provided, uses a 4.5 mm pilot drill. If securing to a metal
fixture, self tapping “tek” screws may be more suitable. For
concrete ceiling fixtures, 8 mm wall plugs are provided.

ATTACH RAIL TO HEADER BRACKET

13

Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket

• Position the assembled opener on the garage floor below the
header bracket. Use foam packing material as a protective
base.

NOTE: If the door spring is in the way youʼll need help.
Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary
support to allow the rail to clear the spring.

• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.

• Align the bracket holes and secure with the 80 mm clevis pin

and “R” clip (1) and (2).
