3.2 Towing bracket mounting
Determine the Garage Door Centreline (Figure.6) and affix the Towing Bracket to
a structural member of the garage door. The Towing Bracket should be mounted
with reference to the top edge of the garage door in accordance with the
appropriate diagram as depicted in Section.2.1 Method A or B
Mark the location of the holes. (four holes if using self drilling screws – two holes
if using screws with nuts)
Drill the screw holes with an appropriate drill and securely mount the Towing
Bracket to the garage door using screws of at least 6mm diameter
Important notes:
a. It is recommended to use fixing screws and nuts rather than self drilling
screws.
b. For a sectional type garage door the pivot point of the Towing Bracket
should be located approx one third of the way down from the top edge
of the top panel. For a tip-up type garage door the pivot point should be
as close to the top edge of the garage door as possible.
3.3 Attaching Drive Rail to Header bracket
With the garage door in the fully closed position - lay the assembled XTrac on the
garage floor in line with the Centreline of the garage door so that the Control Box
is furthest from the garage door
Important Note: avoid scratches and potential damage to the XTrac plastic covers
by placing the Control Box and Drive Unit on cardboard or foam
Raise the Drive Rail up to the Header Bracket so that the Drive Rail sits in
between the ears of the Header Bracket. (Figure.8)
Align the mounting holes of the Header Bracket and Terminal Bracket and fully
insert the long clevis pin and secure it with the spring clip
3.4 Mounting Drive Rail assembly to ceiling
Raise the Drive Rail assembly off the floor and rest it on a support high enough
that the Drive Rail runs parallel to the ground. (Figure.8) depicts typical sectional
type garage door installation)
Important Note: Do not lift the XTrac by the Control Box or damage may occur.
Always lift the XTrac via the Drive Rail
Carefully open the garage door and ensure that no part of it comes into contact
with the Drive Rail or the Control Box during its entire movement
Align the Drive Rail with the centreline of the garage door.
Slide the Drive Rail Hanger along the drive rail (up to max 600mm from the
Control Box) in order to align it with a structural member of the garage. Securely
fasten the Drive Rail Hanger to the structural member of the garage using two
lengths of appropriate hanging material. (Figure.9)
Once the Drive Rail is hung it should sit parallel to the floor along both planes.
