Installation Instructions
- Seip electric door operators
Procedure for fitting a Seip TM80 electric operator to a horizontally tracked one-piece up & over garage door
(the procedure for fitting to sectional type up & over doors is similar)
Tools you will require:
A 13mm spanner, 10mm & 13mm hex sockets & wrench,
pair of side cutters or combination pliers, hammer, pencil,
No.2 Pozidrive screwdriver, electric drill, 5mm HSS drill,
5.5mm masonry drill, a ‘pump action oilcan’ filled with car
engine oil, step ladder.
Before Getting Started
1/ A minimum clearance of 35mm is required between
the top of the door and the ceiling/beams for the C-rail
track.
Note: if you have insufficient clearance for the track, the
operator can be mounted on the ceiling to the rear of the
garage and connected to the door with an extended door
arm as shown on right
(contact us for details)
2/ If the door is higher than 2.4mtrs a C-rail track & chain extension kit may be required
3/ Lubricate all the pivot bearings & both roller spindles on the door support gear with oil and check the operation of the door
with particular attention to correct spring balance, a correctly adjusted door should balance like a pair of weighing scales when
the door is half open, if your door sinks heavily when stopped at this position the spring adjustments (on both sides) should be
increased. The door should move freely through the opening without rubbing on the frame and should close snugly onto the
frame at the bottom corners.
Contents of the installation hardware pack
One pair of motor support brackets, door header bracket & bolt, a
selection of fixing screws, washers & masonry plugs, a small
screwdriver, Allen key, bag containing eight track securing grub-

detailing how to operate the door in the event of a power failure.
