CAUTION
Check the working condition of the door before installing the operator. The
Door must be free from sticking and binding. If the door is equipped with a
latching device, secure the locking bar in the open (unlocked) position. This
style operator will act as a latching device when the door is down and
therefor the door’s lock is no longer needed.
If the door lock is to remain functional, an interlock switch MUST be installed
which will prevent operation of the door whenever the door lock is engaged.
Refer to the Wiring Instructions, section 5.5, of this manual for proper
connection of the interlock switch.
1) Measure the width of the door to determine the center. Make a vertical
line above the door, as shown in Fig. 7. (If the vertical line is not in line
with a door stile, a means of attaching the door bracket to the door must
be provided. This can be accomplished by spanning the center of the
door’s top section (between the top and bottom rail) with a suitable
material such as wood or steel).
2) Prepare for attaching drawbar to header. If woodwork, or other suitable
material is not already in place, securely affix a 2” x 6” block of wood or
metal plate as shown in Fig. 7.
3) Center the block/plate on the header.
4) Mark the door’s vertical center line on this block/plate.
5) Use a level, as shown in Fig. 8 (pg 4.6) to find the highest point of travel for
the door.
6) Mark a horizontal line across the vertical line you made on the header
at 5” above the highest point of door travel.

When installing non-brake units
with drawbar near vertical, it is
important to make sure there
is adequate room between the
door bracket and drawbar rail
for the door arms to go vertical.
Without sufficient clearance
and by running the dood arms
vertical, a significant amount of
force could be applied possibly
leading to damage.

The Operators have a friction style clutch that can be adjusted.
NOTE: The clutch is intended to provide protection for the door, the operator and
yellorT.noitcetorptnempartnerofdednetnitonsitItnempiuqedetaicossa
operators have a motor reversing feature that is integrated with the clutch
assembly. If an obstruction is placed in the pathway of the door during operation
the motor will stop and reverse when the clutch begins to slip.
The adjustment of the clutch should be such that the door and operator function in
this manner. The steps for clutch adjustment follow:
To Adjust the Clutch
1) Decrease the compression on the clutch until the operator will not lift
the door.
•Turn the adjusting castle nut counter-clockwise to decrease clutch
compression and clockwise to increase clutch compression.
2) After completing step 1, begin to increase compression on the
clutch until the operator is capable of lifting the door through the
complete cycle without clutch slippage.
3) Test the reversing feature of the operator by placing an obstruction
under the door during a close cycle. The door should reverse on the
obstruction and return to the open position. If the door does not
close but comes down part way and reverses without any
obstructions in its path, then increase the clutch compression until
the door will close fully.
4) Finally, insert the cotter pin through the castle nut and shaft and bend
the outer leg of the cotter pin.
NOTE:
Periodically check the system for proper clutch action. If clutch starts to slip after
working properly for some time, check manual operation of door BEFORE adjusting
clutch. The door may not be operating freely or the counterbalance spring may
need adjusting. Repairs and adjustments must be performed by a trained service
representative using proper tools and instructions.
