A SAFETY DEVICE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Operator Mounting

(1a) Wall Mount: The operator should generally be installed below the door shaft, and as close to the door as possible.

(1b) Bracket Shelf Mounting: The operator may be mounted either above or below the door shaft.

NOTE: The optimum distance between the door shaft and operator drive shaft is between 12″ – 15″.

(2) Place door sprocket on the door shaft. Do not insert the key at this time.

(3) Place drive sprocket on the appropriate side of the operator. Do not insert the key or set screw at this time.

(4) Wrap chain drive around door sprocket and join roller chain ends together with master link.

(5) Raise operator to approximate mounting position and position chain over operator sprocket.

(6) Raise or lower operator until the chain is taut (not tight). Make sure the operator output shaft is parallel to door shaft and sprockets are aligned. When in position, secure the operator to wall or mounting bracket.

(7) Align sprockets, insert key into keyway, and secure.

(8) Place hand chain around hand chain wheel (if provided).

(9) Run the power wires through the power wiring conduit hole in the electrical box enclosure. Connect the power to the operator. Connect the earth ground to the ground screw in the electrical box enclosure. Follow ALL local electrical codes.

(10) Run control wires through the control wiring conduit hole in the electrical box enclosure. Follow ALL local electrical codes.

(11) Adjust the limit switches to open and close door properly. Make sure the limit nuts are positioned between the limit switches before proceeding with adjustments.

(12) Remove cotter pin from nut on the clutch shaft. Back off clutch nut until there is very little tension on the clutch spring. 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. Reinstall cotter pin when finished.
