10. Door Maintenance
10.1 Door Maintenance
Whilst your opener does not require any periodic
maintenance, the door that it is fitted to, does. Your
garage door is a large, heavy, moving object and
should be tested regularly to ensure it is in good
condition. A poorly maintained door could cause
fatal / serious injuries or damage to property.
• Frequently examine the door, particularly the
cables, springs and mountings for signs of wear,
damage or imbalance. DO NOT USE if repair
or adjustment is needed since a fault in the
installation or an incorrectly balanced door may
cause injury.
10.2 Lubrication (every 3 - 6 months)
To ensure a long and trouble free life for your door
the following is recommended:
• Guide Tracks: Clean the internal sections of
the guide tracks with a cloth dampened with
mineral turps or methylated spirits.
• Steel Hinges (if fitted): Sparingly lubricate with
an all-purpose machine oil. Also lubricate wheel
to axle bearings.
• Plastic Hinges: No lubrication is generally
required; however silicon spray may be used if
necessary.
• Springs: If accessible wipe over with an oily rag.
10.3 Door Service and Repair
If correct maintenance and servicing are not carried
out, warranty may be void. To keep your door
running well, it is recommended that your door
be serviced by an experienced technician, every
12 months or earlier if required:
• Lifting Cables (if fitted): Check for wear
through rubbing. If there is fraying or signs of
corrosion contact your dealer immeditately
and discontinue use, leaving door in the closed
position.
• Fasterners: Check all screws, nuts and bolts to
ensure they are secure.
• Spring Tension: It is natural for springs to lose
tension. Should the door become hard to
operate or completely inoperative, contact your
dealer.
DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF:
Door adjustments should only be
carried out by experienced persons,
as this function can be dangerous
if not performed under strict safety
procedures.
WARNING! Failure to maintain your
garage door may void the warranty
on your garage door opener.
