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.

ATTACHING THE STOP COLLAR

• The stop collar is required to be installed on the opposite side of the door to where the opener is to be installed.

• Ensure the U-Bolt holding the door shaft to the door bracket is tightly secure.
  (NOTE: This U-Bolt must not be removed or loosened)

• Remove the bolt assembly from the plastic stop collar. Open the collar as wide as possible and push it onto the door shaft.

• Fit the stop collar hard against the boss of the door drum. Reinstall the bolt assembly onto the stop collar and tighten.

ATTACHING THE WEIGHT BAR
If the door has a lifting handle, remove the handle, nuts & bolts. Place the weight bar over the handle holes, insert the extended bolts through the weight bar & fasten the handle back in place.

• Place the weight bar in the centre of the door as shown.

If the door curtain does not have a handle you will need to follow these instructions:

• Use a marker pen to mark the two hole positions.
• Drill two 5.5 mm holes through the two marked positions, then place the weight bar on the inside of the door.
• Use the bolts, washers and nuts (provided) to fasten the weight bar in place.

PINNNG THE DOOR

Note:
A ballooning door may delay the safety reversal response and can compromise garage door security.

• To remedy any ballooning, insert the supplied self tapping metal screws into where the curtain leaves the roll. Secure these through the curtain into the drum wheel at each end of the roll.
• After determining the correct fastener location as shown, lift the door approximately half a turn from the closed position to allow access for securing the screws.

THE RELEASE HANDLE & CORD
Do not disengage the opener to manual operation with children, persons or other objects including motor vehicles within the doorway. The door is under significant tension and if the door has developed a fault or incorrect tension, it may be unsafe and may fall rapidly.

• The manual release mechanism enables the door to be manually operated during power outages or in an emergency.
• Thread the end of the rope through the loop of the manual release cable.
• Adjust rope length so the handle (when installed) will be no higher than 1.8m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot. If the door is greater than 2.5m in height the release cord extension kit is required.
• NOTE: Final adjustment of handle height should be completed after the opener is installed. If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end to prevent unravelling.

OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE

• To disengage the opener
  Pull the release cord down firmly, (the opener will make a clicking noise).

• To re-engage the opener
  Pull the release cord down firmly, (the opener will make a clicking noise).

Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door. Take care when operating the manual release as an open door may fall rapidly due to weak or broken springs, or being out of balance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. The opener will not operate from either the UP/DOWN activation button or the transmitters:
   • Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it does not work, check the fuse box.
   • Have you disabled all door locks? Review the installation safety instruction warnings on page 4.
   • Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
   • The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced by contacting a garage door repairer.
   • Opener operates from the transmitter, but not from the wired wall control terminals:
   • Check that the wiring connections are correct.
2. The door operates from the UP/DOWN activation buttons but not from the wireless wall control or transmitter:
   • Program the opener to match the transmitter code. Repeat with all transmitters.
3. The transmitter has short range:
   • Change the location of the transmitter.
   • Check to be sure the antenna on the bottom of the opener extends fully downward.
   • Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.
   • The batteries may be flat. Replace the batteries.
4. The garage door opens and closes by itself:
   • Be sure that no transmitter buttons are being pressed.
   • Clear the memory and re-program all wireless wall controls and transmitters.
5. The door reverses and stops before opening completely:
   • Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.
6. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights flash 10 times:
   • Check The Protector SystemTM (IR Beams) (if you have installed this accessory). If the red light on the beam is flashing, the alignment is incorrect.
7. The door opens but will not close (or reverses while closing):
   • Is something obstructing the door? Pull the manual release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems technician.
   • Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
   • Repeat the limit and force setting. Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.
8. The opener strains to operate the door:
   • The door may be out of balance or the springs may be broken. Close the door and use the manual release to disconnect the door. Open and close the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the opener and call a trained door systems technician.
9. The opener motor hums briefly, then will not work:
   • Check that the door is not in manual release mode (refer to sections 9 or 10).
