WHAT’S INCLUDE

TOOLS REQUIRED

Safety Instructions

Intended use
This garage door is designed and intended for private use only. Continuous operation is not permitted.

General safety instructions

• Fitting, maintenance, repair and dismantling of the Series 40 sectional garage door may only be carried out by specialists (competent persons in accordance with EN 12635).
• In the event of a door failure (sluggish operation or other malfunctions), a specialist must be commissioned immediately for the inspection / repair work.
• The specialist must ensure that the respective national regulations regarding occupational safety are complied with.
• Before the door is put into service, it must be tested to make sure that it is mechanically sound, in perfect working order as well as correctly balanced, making it also easy to operate manually (EN 12604).
• The field of application for Series 40 sectional doors is laid down in EN 13241.
• When the door is fitted, attention must be paid to potential hazards as defined in EN 12604 and EN 12453.

Environmental conditions

ATTENTION
Damage due to temperature differences Differences in the outside and inside temperature may result in deflection of the door elements and foam break (bi- metal effect). This may result in damage when the door is operated.

• Comply with the operating conditions.

The door is intended for the following operating conditions:

Fitting

WARNING

• Do not alter or remove any functional parts.
• Do not attach any additional components. The torsion springs are precisely matched to the door leaf weight. Additional components may overload the springs.
• If equipping the door with an operator, pay attention to the instructions provided by the manufacturers of the door and operator. Only use the original connections of the door manufacturer!

Before fitting the door, the door opening and the building floor must be completely finished.
Observe the following during fitting:

• Establish a secure connection with the building structure.
• Check that the fixing materials supplied are suitable for the given structural conditions.
• Do not fasten the door system to supporting structural members unless you have obtained the prior approval of the structural engineer.
• Ensure adequate water run-off in the area of the bottom seal and the frame parts, otherwise there is a danger of corrosion. (see Technical Manual)
• Ensure sufficient drying and ventilation in the building, otherwise there is danger of corrosion.
• The door must be effectively protected before carrying out plastering and paintwork, as splashes of mortar, cement, plaster, paint etc. can damage the door surface.
• Protect the door from caustic, aggressive substances, e.g. nitrous reactions from stones or mortar, acids, alkali solutions, de-icing salt, aggressive paints or sealants. Failure to do so, could lead to corrosion.

Tensioning the springs
WARNING Danger of injury due to high spring tension
Springs are under high tension and may discharge high forces if they are not secured during tensioning.

• Fix the door leaf to prevent uncontrolled movement before adjusting the tension springs.

When the springs are tensioned correctly, the moving door leaf has a slight tendency to pull upwards.

• Each time the door is serviced, the tension of the springs should be checked and, if necessary, subsequently re-adjusted.
• Before putting the door into operation for the first time, inspect the door according to the chapter Inspection and Maintenance!

INSTALLATION

Operation

Operating the door
WARNING Danger of injury during door travel
The sectional door opens to the top vertically; persons or objects may be trapped.

• When operating the door, always make sure that there are no objects or persons, especially children, within the door’s range of movement!
• Always keep the opening area of the door clear.
• Do not operate the door in strong winds.

Manually operated doors
WARNING Danger of injury due to improper operation
Persons or objects may be trapped if the door is operated improperly.

• Only open and close the door using the supplied operating elements; these ensure a controlled, smooth action.
• When closing the door, make sure that the latches engage fully and correctly.

Power-driven doors
The automation of a sectional door requires that special safety regulations be observed. Consult your supplier.

Locking and unlocking
The door is not locked when closed with the grip handle. This is done by using the key or locking lever on the lock.

• From outside:
  Turn the key 360°

  • To unlock: turn the key left
  • To lock: turn the key right

• From inside:
  Slide the locking lever on the lock

  • To unlock: slide it upwards
  • To lock: slide it downwards

Cleaning and Care

ATTENTION Scratches on the panes due to improper cleaning
Rubbing the panes causes scratches.

• Dirt and dust particles must first be thoroughly rinsed off with water. If necessary, only wash with water, a pH-neutral household detergent and a soft, clean cloth.

Clear water is sufficient for cleaning and care. Use warm water together with a neutral, non-abrasive cleaning agent (household detergent, pH value 7) if more heavily soiled. To preserve the surface characteristics, regular cleaning must be carried out at least every 3 months (outside of door, seals). The slide area behind the side seals must be kept permanently clean and able to slide. A variety of environmental influences (e.g. maritime climate, acids, road salt, air pollutants, paint damage) may make additional protective coating necessary (see Surface treatment on page 6).

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspections and maintenance
WARNING Danger of injury due to defective safety components
Important safety components may fail or become defective if not sufficiently inspected and maintained.

• Have a qualified person perform inspection and maintenance work at regular intervals.

The following inspection and maintenance tasks must be carried out by a specialist in accordance with these instructions, before initial operation and at least once a year!

Inspect all load-bearing components
WARNING Danger of injury due to high cable tension
Cables are under high tension. Damaged cables may cause serious injuries.

• Fix the door leaf to prevent movement before exchanging damaged cables.
• Be particularly careful when exchanging damaged cables.
• Check load carriers (cables, springs, tracks, supports) and safety devices for breakage and damage, replacing any damaged components as necessary.

Weight counterbalance
WARNING Danger of injury due to uncontrolled door drops
If the counterbalance has not been properly adjusted, this may result in an uncontrolled door drop, which could trap persons or objects.

• Retighten the tension springs.

High spring tension
Springs are under high tension and may discharge high forces if they are not secured during tensioning.

• Fix the door leaf to prevent uncontrolled movement before adjusting the tension springs.

Check the counterbalance of the door leaf:  Open the door manually up to the half-way point. The door must be capable of holding this position.
If the door moves substantially downwards: Re-adjust the tension of the springs

Fixing points

• Check all the fixing points on the door and the building structure and make sure that all the fastenings are securely seated and, if necessary, retighten.

Rollers and tracks
When the door is closed, the rollers must be easy to turn.

• Adjust rollers if necessary. Observe the operator fitting notes; they contain details on roller adjustment.
• Clean tracks, if necessary, do not grease!

Hinges and roller holders

• Oil hinges and roller holders.

Locking cylinders

ATTENTION
Damage to the locking cylinders due to unsuitable cleaning products Locking cylinders may not be cleaned with agents containing oil or be oiled.

• Only use specialised care products.
• Do not use oil or graphite.

Seals
Check for damage, deformations and completeness. If necessary, replace.

Malfunctions and Troubleshooting

WARNING Danger of injury due to uncontrolled door movement
If the door malfunctions, uncontrolled door movements may trap persons or objects.

• In the event of a door failure (sluggish operation or other malfunctions), a specialist must be commissioned immediately for the inspection / repair work.

Surface treatment
If you would like to paint the door in a different colour, renovation painting or additional protective painting is required.

• Doors with primer-coating
