PREPARATION
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• DO NOT connect electric power until instructed to do so.
• If the door lock needs to remain functional, install an
interlock switch.
• ALWAYS call a trained professional door serviceman if door
binds, sticks or is out of balance. An unbalanced door may
not reverse when required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust doors, door springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are
under EXTREME tension and can cause SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to door
BEFORE installing and operating door operator to avoid
entanglement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before your operator is installed, be sure the
door has been properly aligned and is working smoothly. The
operator may be wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf.
If necessary, refer to the preparation on page 5. Refer to the
illustration and instructions below that suits your application.

INSTALLATION
MOUNT THE OPERATOR
1. Wall Mount: The operator should generally be installed below
the door shaft, and as close to the door as possible (Figure1).
Bracket Shelf Mounting: The operator may be mounted
either above or below the door shaft (Figure 2).
IMPORTANT: The shelf or bracket must provide adequate
support, prevent play between operator and door shaft, and
permit operator to be fastened securely and with the drive shaft
parallel to the door shaft.
NOTE: The optimum distance between the door shaft and
operator drive shaft is between 12-15" (30.5-38.1 cm).
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 at this time.
4. Wrap drive chain 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 and secure (Figure 3).
8. Install Hand Chain (Model MGH only)
Place hand chain around hand chain wheel. Be sure to pass it
through both openings in the chain guide. Remove enough
links so chain hangs approximately 2' (.61 m) above the
floor.
9. Mount Chain Keeper / Keyhole Bracket
Using suitable hardware mount the chain keeper
approximately 4' (1.22 m) above the floor, near the free
hanging chain. Remove disconnect sash chain from bag and
place the end through the keyhole in the chain keeper.
Remove excess links if necessary.

MANUAL OPERATION
This operator is equipped with a floor level disconnect chain to
allow for manual operation of the door in case of emergency or
power failure.
MODEL MGJ
1. To disengage, pull the sash chain and secure in the disengaged
position by slipping the end through the keyhole bracket
mounted on the wall. Or if emergency egress device is used,
pull handle to disengage operator from door.
2. The door may now be pushed up or pulled down manually or if
equipped with manual hand chain hoist (model MGH only),
door can be raised or lowered with hand chain. Release the
disconnect chain to operate the door again electrically.
MODEL MGH
1. Pull the disconnect chain (small chain) to engage the interlock
to disable the controls. The disconnect chain may be locked in
position by slipping the end through the keyhole of the chain
keeper mounted on the wall.
2. Operate the door in the desired direction by pulling on one side
or the other of the continuous loop hoist chain (large chain).
3. The disconnect chain must be released from the chain keeper
before the door will operate again electrically.
INSTALLATION
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY from a moving chain,
DISCONNECT electric power to the operator BEFORE manually
operating your door.

SENSING EDGES
All types of sensing edges with an isolated normally open (N.O.)
output are compatible with your operator. This includes
pneumatic and electric edges. If your door does not have a
bottom sensing edge and you wish to purchase one, contact the
supplier of your operator.
If not pre-installed by the door manufacturer, mount the sensing
edge on the door according to the instructions provided with the
edge. The sensing edge may be electrically connected by either
coiled cord or take-up reel. Refer to the steps below.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
a. Proceed with Limit Switch Adjustments described below before
making any sensing edge wiring connections to operator.
b. Electrician must hard wire the junction box to the operator
electrical box in accordance with local codes.
TAKE-UP REEL
Take-up reel should be installed 12" (30.48 cm) above the top of
the door.
COIL CORD
Connect operator end of coil cord to junction box (not provided)
fastened to the wall approximately halfway up the door opening.
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH, ALWAYS
install reversing sensors when the 3-button control station is
out of sight of door or ANY other control (automatic or
manual) is used. Reversing devices are recommended for ALL
installations.

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Make sure the limit nuts are positioned between the limit
switches before proceeding with adjustments.
1. Depress retaining plate to allow nut to spin freely. After
adjustment, release plate and move nut back and forth to
ensure it is fully seated in slot.
2. To increase door travel, spin nut away from limit switch. To
decrease door travel, spin limit nut toward limit switch.
3. Adjust open limit nut so that door will stop in open position
with the bottom of the door even with top of door opening.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for close cycle. Adjust close limit nut so
that the limit switch is engaged as door fully seats at the floor.

POWER WIRING & GROUND WIRING
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the
operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the
electrical power and locking-out the power via the operator
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area
MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be
returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.
Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in
accordance with local electrical codes. The operator should be
on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified
individual.
• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator
without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that
you install an optional reversing edge BEFORE proceeding
with the control station installation.
• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well
protected. The location of the power disconnect should be
visible and clearly labeled.
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduit.

POWER WIRING CONNECTIONS
1. Connect power wires coming from the main to the captive
terminal block in the electrical box enclosure marked with the
label. All power and control wiring must be run in separate
conduit in accordance with local electrical codes.
2. Be sure to run all power wires through the conduit hole in the
electrical box enclosure marked with the label shown below.
NOTE: Must use #14 AWG or thicker wire for power wiring.
ON THREE PHASE MACHINES ONLY: Incorrect phasing of the
power supply will cause the motor to rotate in the wrong
direction. To change motor rotation, exchange incoming power
leads L1 and L2.
GROUND WIRING CONNECTIONS
1. Connect earth ground to the chassis ground screw in the
electrical box enclosure.
2. Use same conduit entry into the electrical box as the power
wiring.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This unit must be properly grounded. Failure
to properly ground this unit could result in electric shock and
serious injury.
