Installation
a. Check the door’s operation. The door must travel smoothly and be easy to operate
by hand.
b. Operating force on the bottom rail should be approximately 70N (7kgs) force
c. Adjust any tight or twisted guides/tracks 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. DO NOT use WD-40, RP-7, petroleum grease, or similar.
d. Install the locking bar covers 2 if there are locking bar holes in the guides.
e. Affix the warning labels supplied with this opener in a prominent place where they
are clearly visible.
f. Choose the side where the opener will be installed, ensuring there is sufficient
sideroom.
WARNING! - Do not lock your door with the locking bars after installing the
opener. Remove or disable the lock using wire or cable ties. Security is not
affected as the opener has an inbuilt locking facility.
If the door has a handle
WARNING! The door and its springs are 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.
a. Remove the door handle
b. Fit the weight bar 5 and refit the handle using the new fasteners 6 7 8
provided.

as low as possible, within the valley, but make sure that it does not alter the curtain’s
normal approach to the guide (lead-in angle).
e. At the end opposite to where the opener will be fitted, check that the U-bolt is
tightened securely. Open the door completely and tie safety ropes around the door roll
approximately 300mm from each end. Do not tie the ropes too tight as damage to the
curtain may ensue.
f. At the end where the opener is to be fitted, support the door with a door stand or
suitable ladder.

Remote Aerial
Some sites cause poor radio reception. Particularly problematic areas are
those where there is a large amount of metal, like a steel garage, or an
underground car park with large masses of steel reinforced concrete. These
issues, and others, can create reception issues.
Poor radio reception will be noticed by a reduction in the operating range
of the transmitters.
You can evaluate whether fitting an external aerial will benefit as follows;
i. Test the maximum operating range of the transmitter with the
garage door closed; then
ii. Test the maximum operating range of the transmitter with the
garage door open.
If the range improves when the door is open you can install a remote aerial
kit to improve reception.
Mount the aerial to a suitable location on the outside of the garage.
Similar to a television aerial, the better the mounting position the better
the reception will be. Where possible, mount the aerial as high as possible,
away from masses of metal and in line of sight position, to where you
normally use your transmitter.
WARNING! In setting the close limit position, do not
force the door into the floor with excessive force, as this
can interfere with the ease of operation of the manual
release mechanism.
a. Insert the two (2) Extension forks 11
into the ring gear.
b. Secure with two (2) Flat washers 12
and two (2) Hex serration head screws
13 .
c. If the internal gear does not rotate
freely, switch the opener to manual
by pulling the disengagement handle
down (there will be a click), so that the
ring gear can be rotated by hand.
d. Slide the opener over the door axle
and into the drum of the door.
e. Ensure the internal gear is pushed in
as far as possible (without interfering
with the door curtain) and that one
of the door drum’s wheel spokes is
completely between the opener’s
drive forks.
