Bi-Parting Doors. Mounting door stops. Refer to Fig. 2 and locate trolley and door nearest motor to their intended open
position. Trolley must not be closer than 3 1/2” to the end of the rail while in the open position. Locate door stop 3” from the open
door edge as shown in Fig. 2 and install with 3/8” fasteners. If trolley does not have 3 1/2” of extra travel on rail with door in
the open positions, the door open position must be reset in the closed direction by the necessary distance to give 3 1/2” spacing.
Measure distance from motor side door stop to center of opening. Mark same distance from center of opening to opposite end of
header and mount remaining door stop.
4. Locate all idler components shown in Fig. 4. Remove hex nut, washer and spring from carriage bolt. Insert carriage bolt through
idler mount as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Note: Washers and cotter pin securing roller should face outward. Slide spring onto
