IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating improperly could
cause severe injury. Have qualified service personnel make repairs to cables, spring assemblies,
and other hardware before installing the operator.
3. Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically and/or
electrically interlocked to the power unit) that are connected to the door before installing the
operator.
4. Install the door operator at least 8 feet or more above the floor if the operator has exposed moving
parts. If it is installed less than 8 feet above the floor, any exposed moving parts must be covered or
guarded.
5. Do not connect the door operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the control station: (a) within sight of the door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet so small
children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station in a prominent location.
8. Make sure the available power supply to be connected to the operator is of the same voltage,
frequency, phase and wattage as indicated on the nameplate of the operator.
9. Read and understand the wiring diagram of the operator and the control station (open-close-stop
push button), and any other equipment to be connected to the operator.
10.To avoid damage to the door and operator, make all door locks inoperative. Secure locks in the
unlocked position, or install external electrical interlocks to prevent operation with the locks
engaged.
11.Always disconnect power whenever installing or servicing the door operator or door.
12.All wiring must be permanent and comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) and local code
requirements.
13.Any change in mounting position may result in a change of operator rotation and consequently in a
change of control functions. Consult factory for any changes.
14.If the operator is provided with an auxiliary chain operator, the hand chain should be kept inside the
chain bag when operating electrically.
15.For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the operation of the manual release.

OPERATOR MOUNTING
1. Before the operator is installed, verify that the door is properly operating and balanced.
2. Make sure the layout of the mounting holes on the bracket are correct.
3. Bolt the operator mounting plate to the door bracket plate.
4. Attached and tighten the three mounting legs to the mounting plate. (Not applicable for 1hp, 1½hp,
2hp)
5. Finally, mount the operator to the three legs and tighten (for 1/2 and 3/4hp only). For other
horsepowers, mount the operator to the mounting plate.

6. When the operator assembly is attached to the door bracket, be sure the door driven sprocket is
properly aligned with the operator drive sprocket before securing the driven sprocket to the shaft.
7. The shelf or bracket must provide adequate support for the operator. Prevent play between the
operator and the door shaft. The operator must be securely attached with the drive shaft parallel to
the door shaft. It may be necessary to field brace the operator/bracket.

DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Use correct type, size and proper length of roller chain.
1. Adjust the drive chain by tilting or move the operator so that there is about 1/4” of slack when the
chain is depressed.
Note: The set screw included in the operator may be used for adjustment. (See figure 1- S1 location for
1/2hp and 3/4hp), (See figure 2 - T1, T2, T3, T4 for 1hp and 1½hp).
2. Once the drive chain has been tightened and the base leg screws have been set, and then tighten the
operator screws.

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Make sure the limit cams are positioned between the limit switch actuators before proceeding
with adjustments.
1. Open / Remove the control panel cover.
2. Open or close door to determine the moving direction of the limit switch cams.
3. Open or close door to the desired position.
Disconnect power before adjusting limit switch cams.
4. While pressing the spring-loaded lever (G), which holds the limit switch cams in place, adjust the limit
switch cam (E or F) until the micro switch (C or D) clicking sound is heard.
5. If the limit switch cam cannot be rotated to its desired position, release the lever and move the door
away from the desired position, then adjust the limit switch cam to its desired position. It may be
necessary to repeat this step until the exact position has been reached.
6. Repeat step 3 and 4 for the opposite position. Adjust close limit cams so that actuator is engaged as
door fully seats at the floor.
7. Micro switch (A or B) can be adjusted to accommodate sensing edge cut-off position.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Disconnect power at the fuse box before proceeding with any wiring.
1. Do not install any wiring or attempt to run this operator without checking the wiring diagram located
on the inside of the control box cover.
2. Do not turn on power until you have finished making all power and control wiring connections.
3. Do not run power and control wiring in the same conduit.
4. Any wire connected to the control panel must be protected by conduit or other means to ensure the
safety and permanency of the wiring.
5. Use copper wire inside the control panel.
6. A separate circuit of adequate capacity is needed for the operator.
7. The operator must be properly grounded. The ground screw, painted green, is located inside the
control panel.
Failure to properly ground the operator could result in electric shock and
serious injury or death.
To avoid damage to door and operator, make all door locks inoperative.
Secure lock(s) in the unlocked position, or install electrical interlocks to
prevent operation with the lock engaged.

CONTROL WIRING
If the door is not visible from the control station, or if any device other than
the control station is used to activate the door, an entrapment protection
device must be installed on the door. Failure to install an entrapment
protection device may result in serious injury or death to person(s) trapped
beneath the door.
1. Complete limit switch adjustments before making any sensing edge/non-contact device wiring
connections to the operator.

SGH Series
REVISION # 0002
DATE: 10/09/2012
Disconnect power at the fuse box before proceeding with any wiring.
2. Locate the control station where the user can
clearly see the operation of the door. Mount the
enclosed placard adjacent or near the door.
Controls shall be far enough from the door, or positioned such that the user
is prevented from coming in contact with door while operating the controls.
3. Do not run control wiring in the same conduit as power wiring.
4. Any wire connected to the control panel must be protected by conduit or other means to ensure the
safety and permanency of the wiring.
Do not use radio controls with your operator unless some type of
entrapment protection device has been installed. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death to person(s) trapped beneath the door.
Changing from left hand to right hand or vice versa could result in change
of control wiring. Consult factory for details.
5. After installation, be sure that the operator, controls, and sensing edge or other entrapment
protection devices have been tested and function properly.
