SECTION 1 - REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING - INCORRECT INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY.
FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1.1 DOOR OPERATION
The door must be in good operating condition and the maximum effort to move the door up or down, from
stationary, should not exceed 200 Newton’s (20kg force) at the bottom rail.
Lift the door to about halfway, when you release the door it should stay in place supported entirely by its springs.
Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.
The door may need to be serviced to meet these requirements – refer to door manufacturer’s servicing instructions
or contact an authorised dealer.
Before installing the opener, check that the door is in good mechanical condition and correctly
balanced and that it opens and closes properly. AS3350
Note: The fitting of an opener to doors with removable mullions is not recommended.
1.2 POSITION
It is recommended that the opener be installed on the right hand side of the door, however the opener can be
installed on either the right hand or left hand side of the door (viewed from inside the garage looking out - left is left).
The opener must be mounted in a dry position that is protected from the weather.
The opener is not designed for external use.
Moisture or corrosion may damage the opener and this is not covered by the Warranty.
Do not allow water, or other liquids, to enter the opener or remote control transmitter.
1.3 POWER SUPPLY
A properly earthed, 3 pin, single-phase power supply is required.
WARNING! A portable power generator is not recommended. The opener may appear
to malfunction due to spikes, surges and fluctuations in the generated voltage.
AS3350

SIDEROOM
Dimension A = 60mm minimum. This is the minimum distance from the door curtain to the inside of the door
bracket.
Dimension B = 65mm maximum. This is the distance from the door drum to the edge of the door curtain. If
dimension B is greater than 65mm, a ring gear adaptor (Part No 59585) will be required.
Door Axle Diameter not to exceed 35mm
Note:
1 The door bracket may have to be relocated to line up with the slots in the mounting bracket of the opener (the
opener may be mounted onto the axle - see Fit The Opener for special instructions.
2 The chassis must not be cut down to reduce sideroom - the warranty is invalidated if this occurs.
3 These dimensions assume the opener will be fitted while the door is on the floor. If the door is already installed
an additional 150mm clearance is required to slide the opener over the axle.

Part No 059778

SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The following is the preferred method of installing the opener
2.1 PREPARATION
a. Check the door operation.
i. The door must be smooth to operate by hand.
ii. Operating force on the bottom rail should not exceed 200 Newton’s (20kg) force.
iii. Adjust the guides if they are tight or twisted.
iv. Clean the guides if there is any oil or wax present using a suitable white spirit. The
only lubricant suitable for use on door guides is silicon spray.
b. Install locking bar covers if there are locking bar holes in the guides
Note: DO NOT lock your door with the locking bars after installing your opener. Locks
should be disabled (recommend the use of tie wire or cable ties). This will not
affect the ability of your door to lock as the opener has an inbuilt locking facility.
c. The warning labels supplied with this opener should be fitted as appropriate.
d. Choose the end where you will install the opener and ensure there is sufficient sideroom.
(Refer to sideroom requirement – Note: from inside the garage looking out Left is Left).
2.2 FITTING WEIGHT BAR
The weight bar must be fitted to the bottom-centre of the door as follows:
If the door has a handle:
• Remove the door handle, and
• Fit the weight bar and refit the handle using the new fasteners provided
If the door does not have a handle:
• Measure in from both sides of the door to find the
centre of the door at the bottom
• Place the weight bar at this point (there is a
centreline marked on the weight bar) and mark the
two positions where the fasteners will go.
• Drill the two 4.5mm holes in the door and fit the
weight bar using the new fasteners provided.
Check that the door is balanced and smooth to operate. If it is not then the door may require servicing (refer to door
manufacturer’s instructions).
The door is held under significant tension. Adjustments should only be carried
out by experienced persons, as this function can be dangerous if not performed
under strict safety procedures.

Part No 059778

2.3 PINNING THE DOOR CURTAIN
Pin the door curtain to the door drum at each end of the door to maintain security
when the opener closes and locks. With the door fully closed:
a. Mark positions to drill in both drums as shown.
b. Open door slightly to get access to these positions.
c. Drill using 3.2mm (1/8") drill.
d. Fit a No 10 x 32mm screw and washer to each drum. While this screw
should be positioned as low as possible, make sure that it does not alter the
normal curtain to guide approach (lead-in angle).
e. Make sure that the screws do not project into the area where the ring gear
will fit.
2.4 FIT THE OPENER
a. At the end opposite to where the opener will be fitted, check to make sure the “U” bolt is tightened securely
and fit the anti-coning collar to the axle ensuring it is in contact with the door drum – right hand fitting is
recommended where possible.
b. Open the door completely and tie 2 safety ropes around the door roll approximately 300mm from each end (not
too tight) as a safety precaution.
c. At the end where the opener is to be fitted, support the door. It is
recommended that you support the door with either:
• a sling or a block and tackle from above the door, or
• a suitable stand e.g. a ladder and blocks (see illustration). If you use
blocks make sure they are flat on the top of the ladder and that they
are wide enough to take the weight of the door without damaging it.
Warning - make sure the support is snug under the door and that both the support and door
are stable and will not move.
d. Mark the position of the “U” bolt in the door bracket and the position of the door bracket on the wall to assist
when reassembling (use masking tape or marker pen).
e. Remove the “U” bolt (or bolts) and saddle from the door bracket at the end where the opener is to be fitted.
Remove this door bracket allowing the door to rest on the support (see illustration).
Note: For minimum sideroom installations the door may have to be taken down.

f. Fit the opener as follows:
• Disengage the opener by pulling the disengagement handle
down (there will be a click), so that the ring gear can be
rotated by hand.
• Slide the opener over the door axle and into the drum of
the door. Ensure the ring gear is pushed in as far as
possible (without interfering with the door curtain) so that
the drive finger completely engage one of the door drum
wheel spokes. Ensure the edges of the door drum wheel
spoke do not have any rough edges (the ring gear drive
finger moves on the spoke as the door turns).
g. Re-attach the door bracket using your reference marks as a
guide and tighten the bolts. Ensure that the slots in the
mounting bracket of the opener align with the slots in the
door bracket - the door bracket may have to be relocated.
Note: If the bracket cannot be relocated, the opener may
be fitted onto the axle as follows:
• For Series 1 style doors - you will need to use two Series 1
style, 5/16" U bolts and saddles (not supplied) to attach the operator to the axle, or
• For Series 2 style doors - you will need to use the Series 2 style, 3/8" U bolt and cast saddle (not supplied) to
attach the operator to the axle.
h. Using your reference marks as a guide, refit the U bolt and saddle and tighten firmly.
Note: The Series 2 style cast saddle will need to have 1mm ground off both sides to fit into the opener
mounting bracket.
i. Adjust the door position (if necessary) on the brackets so that the door feeds smoothly into the guides. Make
sure that the centre of the door doesn’t hit the lintel and that the curtain is not pushed forward hard into the guide.
j. Remove the support and safety ropes.
If the manual release is more than 1.8 metres from floor level when the opener is
installed, extend the manual release handle to a height less than 1.8 metres.
k. Connect the power cord to a suitable power point – do not switch on. Secure the cord away from any moving
object (e.g. the door roll) with the cable clip supplied.
l. Pull the door up and down to make sure it runs freely – make sure the ring gear is still disengaged.

Use caution when operating the manual release with the door open since it may fall
rapidly due to weak or broken springs, or an imbalanced door; AS3350
Caution: Do not disengage the opener to manual operation with children, persons or
any objects including motor vehicles within the doorway.
2.5 PROGRAM THE OPENER
For the garage door opener to function properly the Door Travel
Limits, Door Travel Force Settings and Remote Control Transmitter
Codes will need to be programmed. If infra red beams are to be fitted
they should be installed and connected prior to setting door travel
limits.
For normal operation of the garage door opener there are 3 steps, for
optional advanced features see Programming Optional remote Control
Transmitter Features. To program the opener proceed as follows:
Step 1 Door Travel Limit and Door Travel Force Setting.
Door travel Limits have to be programmed into the garage door opener to set the desired range of movement of the
garage door. Whenever the Door Travel Limits are programmed the garage door opener will be forced to re-learn the
Door Travel Force and reset the Service Counter. Use the following procedure:
