Installation Instructions
Step 1: Operator Assembly
Secure the rails to the power unit using the 5/16” bolts
provided. Then slide the traveller onto the rails, making
sure that the chain connection is away from the power
unit and toward the front.
Attach the front idler assembly and shaft to the rails,
using the appropriate holes (as shown) and tighten
securely.
Unroll the chain in the direction of the chain idler, allowing
the chain to loop around the pulley. Continue unrolling the
chain and engage the sprocket at the power unit. Chain
should be pulled tight before engaging the sprocket, but
do not overtighten, as damage can result. Be sure the
chain is strung though the hole from the top.
Locate the traveller near the center and attach the chain.
Tighten the chain sufficiently to remove any slack but,
once again, do not overtighten, as damage can result.
Using the 5/16” hardware provided, attach the center rail
supports to the rails.
Step 2: Header Bracket Positioning
Locate the centerline of the door opening and draw a
light pencil line on the door header and on the upper
portion of the door. Then, by raising the door, determine
the “high rise” of the door. This is the highest point to
which the door will rise when the top section starts to go
over the radius of the track. Using lag bolts provided,
mount the front header bracket a minimum of one inch
above the high rise on the centerline of the opening.
Step 3: Operator Installation
Using two 5/16” bolts, attach the operator to the header
bracket.
Raise the power-unit end of the operator and open the
door fully. Support the operator 3–4 inches above the
door, using a ladder or other suitable substitute. Make
sure the operator is in line with the door centerline.

Installation Instructions (Cont’d)
Step 3: Operator Installation (Cont’d)
Secure the operator to the ceiling or overhead truss,
ensuring stability and allowing the operator to rest above
the path of the door track.
Important: During door travel, the operator must be
a minumum of one inch above the door
and be properly aligned.
Normally, angle iron of 1” X 1” X 1/8” size is ample for
hanging the operator, provided sufficient rigidity can be
obtained by diagonal bracing.
On doors over 10 feet high, it is necessary to support
the center (approximately) of the rail with a hanger
dropped from the ceiling. Holes are provided in the rail
for this purpose.
Finally, manually close the door fully and secure the
door bracket on the door centerline directly in line with
the door rollers. For wood doors, use two carriage bolts.
For metal or fiberglass doors, use two 5/16” bolts.
Step 4: Electrical Connection
A complete electrical circuit print is included with the
operator information packet. The power supply must be of
correct voltage and phase and should be brought into the
operator with no smaller than No. 12 wire. For proper wire
gauge, refer to “Wiring Specifications,” on Page 10.
Electrical power must be ample and not taken from an
overloaded line, as faulty operation will result. Proper
thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The motor
contains a thermal overload protector to guard against
overheating due to overload conditions.
IMPORTANT
A. Power supply must be of correct voltage and
phase.
B. Always disconnect power from the operator
before servicing.
C. Keep clear of the door during operation.
IMPORTANTNOTICE
This operator is supplied with a 3-button control station
(OPEN–CLOSE–STOP) accompanied by a precautionary
sign:
It is vital that the 3-button station be mounted within sight
but out of reach of the door and that the warning sign be
mounted adjacent to the 3-button station.
The 3-button station must be connected so the STOP
circuit between terminals #2 & #4 is not bypassed.
Also, if additional 3-button stations are to be con-
nected, the STOP buttons must be wired in series.
NOTE: A STOP button must be used when the instal-
lation has radio controls or a single button.

LimitSwitchAdjustment
Limit switches are factory set for short travel. Travellers
should be at least two feet from either end of the rails
when the unit is assembled.
1. Disconnect the door from the traveller.
2. Turn the power on and push the OPEN or CLOSE
button. The traveller should move approximately two
feet.
3. Adjust the limit nuts (found in the electrical control
panel) by releasing the spring-loaded detent plate
and turning the nuts in the desired direction. One
complete turn will allow the traveller (or door) to
move approximately four inches.
IMPORTANT: LSO-2 and LSC-2 must be actuated
before LSO-1 and LSC-1. LSO-2
should be actuated three revolutions of
limit shaft before LSO-1.
4. Be sure the detent plate is properly locked into both
limit nuts when adjustment is complete.
NOTE: On 3-phase equipment, direction can be wrong.
If the door closes when the OPEN button is
pressed or vice versa, any two of three motor
leads must be reversed. DO NOT REVERSE
THE PUSHBUTTON LEADS.
TURN OFF POWER TO THE
OPERATOR BEFORE
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS!
Clutch and Cutoff Switch Adjustment
The clutch is set light at the factory and must be prop-
erly adjusted in the field for the size and weight of the
door. Adjust the clutch spring tension so the operator will
drive the door closed. It is best to start with a light
adjustment and tighten one-half turn at a time.
Lubrication
The operator bearings and motor are factory lubricated
for life. It may be advisable to oil the roller chain to
prevent excessive dryness or rusting under humid
conditions.
Manual Disconnect
For your safety and protection, this operator is provided
with a manual disconnect system. It is recommended
that all persons be well informed of its purpose and
operation.
To disconnect the operator, pull the disconnect cord as
shown. To re-engage the operator, pull the disconnect
cord down and manually connect the door arm to the
traveller.
