INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
The E-Drive is typically flag mounted below the door drum so that the opener shaft
points toward the door opening and lies beneath the sprocket of the door drum.
For mounting you will need to either secure the opener to the roller shutter head
plate with prepared holes or slots, or use a mounting plate that will need fixing via a
wall angle or similar existing structure.
Note: The E-Drive is not designed to be installed upside down. The chain
guide must not be repositioned.
It is strongly recommended that a suitably rated lifting strap be used to raise the
opener to a necessary height, shown right. A suitable lifting device should be
connected to a secure support beam (or similar) above the door axle.
When assessing and selecting an appropriate mounting location, the following
considerations should be made:
