GENERAL NOTES
Preparing Door for Operator
The following procedures must be perfonned before operator can be installed. Failure to
complete the following procedures can cause operator failure and/or hazardous conditions
which could cause personal injury.
1. Check working condition of door. Door should operate freely without sticking or binding.
Lubricate door rollers and hinges with SAE 30 wt. oil. Replace damaged or broken
rollers and

2. Check for broken counterbalance springs and worn or broken lift cables. Replace any
defective parts.
CAUTION
Repairs and adjustments to cables and springs can be hazardous
and should be perfonned
by qualified door service people.
3. Counterbalance should be set so that door does not have to be held up or down.
4. If door is equipped with a locking device, make it inoperative by pennanently securing
the locking bar in an unlocked position.

Remove any lift or pull rope to avoid
ent~apment by rope when door is opened.
It is recommended that the top section

operator with 360 - - - on the second operator.
(Refer to sticker on back of transmitter).
This operator cannot be installed on garage
doors where the headroom is less than 2-1/4".
Headroom is the distance between the ceiling
