1. Unpack carton, checking for possible damage
during shipping. Damage claims must be filed with
the freight carrier. Check that the nameplate data
accurately specifies the operator that was ordered.
Verify that the following parts listed below are
included in the carton.
2. Check to make sure that the available power
supply to be connected to the operator is of the
same voltage, phase, frequency, and wattage as
indicated on the nameplate of the operator.
3. In order for the door operator to function
correctly, it is important that the door be properly
aligned and working smoothly. Make any necessary
corrections to the door to assure this before
beginning operator installation. In addition,
disconnect and remove all locking devices from the
door to prevent damage or personal injury due to
accidental locking.
This manual supplement includes only
mechanical assembly instructions for your
slide door operator. For complete list of
operator features, specifications and wiring
instructions, refer to the Owners Manual
supplied with your operator.

* (4) wall brackets are included in the standard hardware kit. Single doors over 14’ or Bi-Part doors over 8’ will
require additional wall brackets, refer to chart.

OPERATOR ASSEMBLY
1. Layout the two pieces of track on the floor, parallel
to each other and install end idler shaft assembly
(see page 5).
2. Install track hangar brackets with 3/8” hardware
(see page 5). The number of hangars will vary with
the door width. The holes in the track for the hangars
are pre-punched and are generally about 5 feet apart.
3. Install chain take-up bolt on slider carriage with
two 3/8 hex nuts and lockwasher and slide the slider
carriage onto the track so that the take-up bolt will be
facing the powerhead (see page 5).
NOTE: For Bi-parting doors, slide secondary slider
carriage into track assembly first, so that this slider is
closest to the front idler.
4. Install one final track hangar on back of
powerhead. Remove the spacer bar which comes
assembled in the frame of the powerhead unit.
Position the track assembly on the motor unit and
reinstall the spacer within the rails, tightening the
bolts securely. For a right to open single-sliding door,
the powerhead should be mounted on the right hand
end of the track with the pulleys facing out.
The slide door operator should be pre-assembled as follows before installation:
Install two 3/8-16 x 1” hex bolts with lockwashers and
nuts though the remaining two mounting holes in the
power head (see page 5).
5. Attach the chain to the take-up bolt on the slider
carriage using the master link provided. Reel the
chain around the drive sprocket, up to the idler shaft
and then back to the hole on the front of the carriage.
6. Using the two 10-32 x 1-1/4 inch screws and
hardware provided, attach the chain to the front end
of the carriage (see figure 3). It may be necessary to
remove some links for proper tension. Tighten chain
by adjusting chain take-up bolt. A properly adjusted
chain will sag about 3” at the midpoint.
NOTE: Leave Bi-part slider carriage free at this time.
7. Bolt the angle mounting brackets to the track
hangers through the slots in the mounting brackets.
Use the 3/8-16 hex head bolts with flatwashers under
the heads and lockwashers and nuts under the track
hangers (see page 5). Do not tighten as the distance
from the wall to the track will have to be adjusted
later.

OPERATOR MOUNTING
NOTE: Refer the figures on page 2 for general
information during this part of the installation.
1. Determine the clearance necessary for the door to
pass between the powerhead and wall (see figure 6).
This dimension must be less than 4 inches, it may be
necessary to shim the brackets out from the wall
accordingly.
2. With the door fully closed, locate the vertical
center-line of the door and mark this line on the wall
above the door. Measure 18” to the left of this line if
the door slides left to close or 18” to the right of this
line if the door slides right to close (see figure 1).
NOTE: For bi-parting doors, omit this step. The
track should extend 3-1/2 feet beyond the door
opening (see figure 2).
3. Set the assembled operator into position and mark
the holes for the angle mounting brackets on the wall,
as low as possible without interfering with door travel
(see figure 6). Drill holes in the wall for mounting.
Through-bolts are recommended for this purpose. If
wall construction does not permit the use of through-
bolts, lag bolts and shields may be used.
4. Secure the assembled operator to the wall.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE OPERATOR, TRACK AND
DOOR TRACK ARE PARALLEL.
Check that the door clears the power head when
moving. Adjust the track hangers on the mounting
brackets to the desired position and tighten all bolts.
It is recommended that at least one sway brace be
used (not provided) between the wall and one of the
track hangers for increased rigidity, especially on
large or heavy doors.
5. Mount the door disconnect mechanism on the
center-line of the door so that the top of the bracket is
no more than 1-1/2” below the slider carriage (see
figure 6). This mechanism may be adjusted both
front to back and up and down to align the disconnect
pin. It may be necessary to shim between the
mechanism and the door to bring the pin out into the
center-line of the track.
NOTE: For bi-parting doors, mount each door
disconnect mechanism centered on a line 24” from
the door edge (see figure 2).
6. Move the door so that the disconnect pin is
directly aligned with the hole in the carriage and
engage pin in hole.

NOTE: For bi-parting doors, it is necessary to bring
the doors to a fully closed position for proper
synchronization. With both disconnect pins and
engaged in their respective carriages, lift the drive
chain over the three studs on the bi-part carriage and
secure the chain to the slider with the hardware
provided (see figure 5).
7. Adjust the screw collars on the disconnect pin so
that it enters into the trolley bracket about 3/4”.
8. Mount the chain retaining bracket (with keyhole
slot) at a convenient height on the door, directly
below and aligned with disconnect chain. Mount it so
that keyhole is in the horizontal plane (repeat for bi-
part door).
FUSIBLE LINK INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
1. Mount chain retaining bracket to door,
approximately 4 ft. above the floor and 2 inches off
centerline of door as shown in figure 1.
2. Attach eye bolt to lower slot on disconnect
assembly (see figure 1).
3. Secure fusible link mounting bracket to upper
leading edge of door (6 to 12 inches below top of
door) so that the fusible link will be in door opening
when door is open (see figure 1).
4. Thread the fusible link chain through the eye bolt
as shown, then through the eyelet in the weight
mechanism, and then up through the bottom of the
disconnect pin.
5. Raise the weight to approximately 3 feet from floor
level and engage the chain in the slot of the chain
retaining bracket.
6. Couple the chain to itself around the weight so
that the chain cannot move through the eyelet in the
weight.
7. Disengage the chain and allow the weight to hang
from the fusible link.
8. Leave a small amount of slack between the weight
and the disconnect pin and fasten a split key ring to
the link on each side of the disconnect pin so that the
chain cannot pass through the hole.
9. Cut off excess chain, leaving 6” to hang below
chain retaining bracket.
10. Fasten large split key ring to end of chain.
11. Mount the weight guide to the door as shown,
with weight protruding above guide 3 to 4 inches.
12. For bi-part doors install the second fusible link
assembly on the other door in the same manner. Be
sure that one is lower than the other so as not to
interfere with each other when the doors are fully
closed.
13. IMPORTANT: TEST THE FUSIBLE LINK
DISCONNECT INSTALLATION AS FOLLOWS:
Manually remove the fusible link from the bracket and
allow the weight to pull down on the disconnect pin.
Verify that the door is disconnected and moves freely.
If necessary, adjust spring on disconnect assembly
by moving top shaft collar up or down.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING:
Refer to the Owners Manual supplied with your
operator for all power and control wiring.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION:
The door can be operated by means of the three
button control station or by other controls, when
provided. Refer to Control Connection Diagram
located on the back cover of the Owners Manual for
all control options.
MANUAL OPERATION:
The door cannot be moved manually with the slider
carriage connected. However, a quick disconnect pin
and chain mechanism is provided to uncouple the
door from the slider carriage. To disengage the door,
simply pull the chain down and engage it in the
keyhole slot an the bracket provided for this purpose.
With the mechanism disconnected, the door can be
manually opened or closed.
