6.2.6 Mounting Door Bracket
The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate with two mounting
holes is used on its own for any one piece doors. The top plate is placed over
the bottom plate and uses 4 mounting holes for extra strength. This is used
on sectional doors (Fig.6.2.6).
Mount the door bracket to the centre line of the door, 1/3 panel down using
M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied) alternatively it can be welded on steel
doors.
NOTE: As various types of doors exist, if in doubt about the strength of the
door, reinforcement may need to be added to the frame of the door panel
where necessary. Damage to the door panel may occur if the bracket is
installed incorrectly on a panel with insufficient strength. The door operator
warranty does not cover damage caused by the operator to the door and/
or door panel.
6.2.7 Attaching the Arms
Assemble bent and straight arms (as shown in Fig.6.2.7) with bolts and nuts
supplied in accessory pack. Then connect assembled arm to the door bracket
and the trolley by clevis pin and snap pin. Trolley must be in disengage
position. Always use both the bent and straight arm.
The angle “A“ must not be less than 10 degrees.
WARNING! connecting the bent arm other way around
may damage the door.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the manual release handle is more
than 5.91ft (1.8 meters) from floor level when the operator is
installed, extend the handle to a height 5.91ft (1.8 meters).
