4.TESTING THE DOOR
Complete the following test to ensure your door
is well balanced, and not sticking or binding:
• Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected
to the garage door.
• Lift the door to about halfway and then release it.
The door should remain spring balanced.
• Raise and lower the door to determine if there are
any sticking or binding points (20 kgf is the absolute
maximum allowable to raise or lower the door in any
position).
• If your door does not hold in place or the door
binds or sticks, call a qualified door technician
before installing the opener.
5.INSTALLING THE STOP COLLAR
•Install the stop collar on the opposite end to where
the opener is to be installed.
• Fit the stop collar hard against the boss of the door
drum. Ensure the U-bolt holding the door shaft to the
door bracket is tightly
secured.
SAFETY CHECK!
Is the stop collar installed?
YES: proceed to the next step
NO: install the stop collar before proceeding
6.INSTALLING THE WEIGHT BAR (PROVIDED)
• Place the weight in the centre of the door (as shown).
• Use a pencil to mark the two hole positions.
• If the door curtain does not have a handle you will need to
drill two 6.5 mm holes through the two marked positions,
then place the weight bar on the inside of the door.
• Use the bolts and nuts (provided) to fasten the weight bar in
place.
NOTE: If the door has a lifting handle, remove the
handle, nuts & bolts. Place weight bar over the handle
holes, insert extended bolts through the weight bar &
fasten handle back in place.
