BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
A solenoid brake is standard on 3/4 and 1 horsepower models,
and is optional on 1/3 and 1/2 horsepower models. The brake is
adjusted at the factory and should not need additional adjustment
for the the life of the brake assembly.
Replace brake assembly when necessary. Refer to the illustration
for identification of components for the solenoid type brake
system.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT AND
AUXILIARY REVERSAL SYSTEM
The Auxiliary Reversal System is designed to protect the door
and motorized operator. It is NOT a substitute for a safety sensing
device. The Auxiliary Reversal System works in tandem with the
adjustable clutch to detect if a closing door runs into or comes
across an obstruction. If an obstruction is met and causes the
clutch to slip, the Auxiliary Reversal System will return the door
to the full open position when closing or stops the door when
opening.
1. Remove cotterpin from nut on the clutch shaft.
2. Back off clutch nut until there is very little tension on the
clutch spring.
3. Tighten clutch nut gradually until there is just enough tension
to permit the operator to move the door smoothly but to allow
the clutch to slip if the door is obstructed. When the clutch is
properly adjusted, it should generally be possible to stop the
door by hand during travel.
4. Reinstall cotterpin.
ADJUSTMENT
To prevent possible SEVERE INJURY or DEATH, install reversing
sensors when:
• The radio is used.
• The 3-button control station is out of sight of the door.
• Or ANY other control (automatic or manual) is used.
Reversing devices are recommended for ALL installations.
