FRAME AND GENERAL INSTALLATION
Step 1 Unpack crate and inventory parts, comparing against the packing list in the front of this manual, to
verify all parts are on site.
Step 2 Using a tape measure; determine the actual door width by measuring the width gauge on the top
roll assembly (Figure 1). Apply this measurement to the actual door opening. Mark the floor on each side
of the opening to indicate the inside position of the side frame assemblies.
FIGURE 1

Step 3 Verify that the opening is plumb and that the floor slab is level. If they are not, shimming and
adjustments to the side frames must be made to accomplish this during door installation. Refer to
approval drawings for this door to confirm drive side mounting (left or right-hand).
Step 4 Remove side frames from crate (one at a time) and erect them into position against the wall at the
pre-marked locations on the floor.
Step 5 Plumb the side frames and temporarily secure them to the wall using C-clamps. (Figure 2)
Step 6 Using an approved lifting device, place a lifting
strap around the top roll assembly, lift and remove from
shipping crate as indicated by Figure 3. Slide the operator
onto the stub axle, Figure 5a and attach to the top roll
assembly with the supplied hardware. Or it can be added
after the top roll assembly is bolted to the side frames
Raise the top roll assembly into position and lower it
slowly onto the top of both side frames. Using the
supplied 3/8”–16 bolts, fasten the side frame top plates to
axle bearing plates using the three-corner bolt holes
(Figure 4).
NOTE
POSITION THE LIFTING DEVICE AND STRAPS
ACCORDINGLY AS THE DOOR WILL BE HEAVIER
ON THE DRIVE SIDE IF YOU ATTACHED THE
DRIVE BEFORE LIFTING INTO PLACE. DO NOT
REMOVE THE LIFTING DEVICE UNTIL THE
DOOR IS PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO WALL.
NOTE
THE NEXT STEP INVOLVES INSTALLING THE TOP
PULLEY BRACKETS. PRIOR TO DOING SO,
ENSURE THE DRIVE UNIT IS ATTACHED
(Figures 5A and 5B) AND THE BRAKE IS NOT
RELEASED.
Step 7 In order to allow clearance for installing the top
pulley brackets, the door fabric must be lowered a
maximum of two feet. Tie a rope around the top roll,
leaving approximately two feet of slack.

Step 8 Cut the plastic straps that are tied around the top roll assembly and bottom beam. Allow the door
curtain to drape down a maximum of two feet.
Step 9 Install the top pulley brackets on both side frames using the four remaining 3/8”-16 bolts and the
two center bolt holes in the side frame top clamping plates. (Figure 4)
Step 10 Release the brake by pulling down on the brake release lever (Figure 6). Rotate the top roll
assembly until the slots in both cable drums are accessible through the openings in the axle bearing
brackets (Figure 7). Reengage the brake by releasing the brake disengagement lever. Both cable drum
slot should have the same orientation. Do not hang the cable straight down when the door is in the full up
position.

BOTTOM BEAM EQUIPPED WITH RAPID RESET™ OPTION. (Model 670 Only)
For the model 670, the door size or wind load may cause the door design t exceed a practical limit to this
technique. In this case, the Rapid Reset System (RRS) may be used. The mechanical installation is the
same as the SRD.
The Self Repair Device (SRD) option should be selected for interior doors or in exterior applications
where there are no heavy winds. The Rapid Reset System (RRS) option should be selected on exterior
applications where there may be heavy winds.
The Rapid Reset System (RRS) works as follows:
1. Upon impact, a shock sensor located in the bottom beam will signal the door to stop immediately.
The driver should stop upon impact and then move away from the door opening.
2. A blinking amber light on the control panel will indicate that the door is in need of being reset. A
sticker on the control panel will indicate the steps necessary to reset the door. The steps are as
follows:
A. Return the fabric completely into the side frame guide. Either moving the bottom beam
manually back and forth to allow the curtain to slide back into the side frames, or open the
side frame covers and re-insert the curtain, to accomplish this task
B. Push and hold the reset button for 3-5 seconds until the reset light goes out. The door has
been reset and is ready for operation.
Refer to the electrical manual for wiring details.
The model 670 design with the Rapid Reset System (RRS) is available with one or two wind bars ( one
per side). All wind bars must have straps to insure that in the event of impact, the wind bar will remain in
the channel. Strappless wind bars are not available with the RRS option. Wind bars are not available with
the Self Repair Device (SRD).
NOTE
The door should have an additional 4 inches in height for the wind bar to clear the door opening with
door equipped with the RRS.
SPRING TENSIONING AND DOOR BALANCE
Step 1 Loosen the C-clamp and allow the intermediate pulley bracket to hang free.
Step 2 Using a come-a-long or similar joining tool, stretch the spring up to the middle hole of the
intermediate pulley bracket. Place the spring’s tang inside of the pulley bracket, insert bolt in the center

Part Number 6410T0006 Version 4/23/2010
20
hole, and tighten the lock nut (Figure 14).
Step 3 Remove come-a-long and perform steps 11 through 13 for the other side of the door.
Step 4 When the counter balance system has been fully installed, disengage gearbox and manually move
door over its entire range of motion. Larger size doors (i.e. 14’ wide x 14’ high) may require the
assistance of a lifting device to manually move.
NOTE
WHEN MANUALLY RE-POSITIONING DOOR, DO NOT PULL ON THE REVERSING EDGE
YELLOW VINYL; UTILIZE THE ALUMINUM BOTTOM BEAM INSTEAD.
Step 5 When the counter balance system has been verified to function properly, trim excess cable above
the cable clamps (on bottom beam) on both sides of the door.
Step 6 Ensure both side frames are plumb and door is level at this time by placing a level on the top roll
assembly. Shim either side frame as required to accomplish this.
Step 7 Using proper anchoring hardware for this application, weld or through bolt the side frames in
position. If welding, a 2-inch weld every 12 inches is recommended. If bolting in place, there are anchor
holes located on the backside at the top and the bottom of each side frame (Figure 1). Anchor both side
frames to the floor.
Step 8 Mount the pressure switch enclosure on the bottom beam
using the hardware and holes provided. Attach the retractile cord
using the cable clamp on the bottom beam and the other to the
drive side frame (Figure 15). Insert clear plastic tube onto nipple
on pressure switch enclosure (Figure 16).
Step 9 Close both side frame covers and secure them using the
four locking pins provided (Figure 17 Model 670
doors)(Figure 18 for Model 570 doors).
