Model GT Drawbar Operator Applications
Drawbar operators are intended for
commercial and industrial use on sectional
overhead doors which use horizontal track
with normal radius. A drawbar operator is not
suitable for doors with high lift or vertical lift
doors. The installation requires a minimum
clearance of 8 inches above the highest point
of the door at any point in its travel. Please
refer to Figure 10, on page 10 for back room
requirements.
A drawbar operator when properly installed
will effectively lock the door in the closed
position.
Model GT Drawbar operators are used in
the following applications:
- Heavy Duty, Indoor Commercial
installations only
- Up to 20 foot high doors with a maximum
area of 575 square feet maximum area -
slightly higher for lighter doors - consult
factory.
- Use with foam/pneumatic reversing door
edge or photoelectric device - REQUIRED
where the 3-button station is out of sight of
the door, or any other automatic, remote or
manual control is used to activate the door.

Before starting the installation of the operator, the door
must be in good working condition and properly
counterbalanced. Inspect the door and track for loose
or missing hardware. Test the door manually for
balance and ease of operation. Lubricate door hinges
and rollers. If necessary, employ a qualified technician
to adjust the springs for proper counterbalance of the
door.
Before removing the operator powerhead from the
shipping carton, inspect the nameplate on the cover of
the operator control box to verify that it is the correct
model for the intended application and that the voltage
and phase are in accordance with electrical
power provided at the job site. The rails are
shipped separately from the power head.
Warning: Rope off the area to keep
personnel and vehicles clear of the door
and floor space in the vicinity of the
operator during the installation.
ELECTRIC DOOR OPENERS ARE DESIGNED FOR
DOORS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION,
PROPERLY COUNTERBALANCED AND PROPERLY

SETTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES
1. Remove the cover on the electrical enclosure. There are
two limit nuts on the threaded limit shaft that move
laterally along the shaft as the operator opens and
closes the door. When a limit nut nears the end of the
shaft it activates a (set of) switch(es). The OPEN limit
switch is on the LEFT and the CLOSE limit switch is on
the RIGHT. Auxiliary switches may also be present, they
are used to control other functions. These are mounted
on a separate bracket and should not be confused with
the the OPEN and CLOSE Limit Switches which are
mounted on a bracket secured to the base of the
electrical enclosure box and are somewhat hidden from
view.
2. Manually set the door to a nearly closed position.
TO AVOID RISK OF ENTRAPMENT AND POSSIBLE
DAMAGE TO THE DOOR AND OPERATOR THE LIMITS
MUST BE ADJUSTED BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO
THE OPERATOR.
WARNING
Figure 13
3. Refer to Figure 8. Depress the limit nut retaining bracket
away from the slots in the limit nuts. Turn the CLOSE
limit nut on the shaft until it engages the CLOSE Limit
Switch. The switch will sound an audible “click” when
engaged. If there are auxiliary present, the limit switch
will be the second “click”. Release the retaining bracket
and be sure that it engages in slots of both limit nuts.
4. Manually raise the door to a nearly OPEN position and
repeat Step #3 with the OPEN limit nut and switch.
5. If auxiliary switches are present, the limit nut will actuate
them just prior to activating the open or close limit
switch. (This is preset at the factory.)
6. Manually move the door to a half open position to avoid
door damage due to incorrect power supply phasing.
On three phase units the door may initially run in the
wrong direction when power is first applied. With the
door in a mid position there will be time to stop the door
before damage can happen if incorrect phasing occurs.
7. A final limit adjustment will be necessary after the
connection of the power supply in order to ensure the
door stops at the proper Open and Close positions.
12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID DAMAGE TO DOOR AND OPERATOR
ENSURE ALL DOOR LOCKS ARE DISABLED.
USE AN INTERLOCK SWITCH IF A LOCK IS
REQUIRED TO RETAIN FUNCTIONALTY.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/
OR DAMAGE TO DOOR OR PROPERTY, ONLY
OPERATE DOOR CONTROL WHEN DOOR IS IN
CLEAR VIEW. IF CONTROL STATION CANNOT BE
LOCATED WHERE THE DOOR IS VISIBLE OR IF ANY
OTHER DEVICE IS USED TO CONTROL THE DOOR
AN AUXILIARY ENTRAPMENT DEVICE (DOOR EDGE
OR PHOTOELECTRIC) MUST BE CONNECTED.
WARNING
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH :
• DISCONNECT POWER AT THE FUSE BOX
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE
MADE BY A QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL.
• OBSERVE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES WHEN
WIRING THE OPERATOR.
WARNING
NOTE: PowerMaster T Drawbar operators have
been designed and constructed for use with
voltages from 115 Volts AC to 575 Volts AC, in
single or three phase. Check the operator
nameplate label on the control box cover for
the proper voltage and phase. The application
of an improper input voltage or phase will
result in catastrophic failure to the internal
electrical components. Observe local electrical
codes when wiring the operator.
When hard wiring, observe state and local
electrical codes. A wiring diagram is attached to
the inside of the control box cover. Connect the
appropriate voltage and phase power leads to the
appropriate terminals as per the wiring diagram
and connect a ground wire to the grounding screw.
On three phase units, incorrect phasing of the
power supply will cause the motor to rotate in the
wrong direction (open when CLOSE button is
pushed and vice versa). To correct this,
interchange any two of the incoming three phase
conductors.
The wiring diagram attached inside the cover of
the control box details all of the field wiring
terminal connections for the operator. Always
connect the wires to the push-button controls and
auxiliary devices exactly as shown.
Warning: Control voltage of the operator is
24 volts AC, Class 2. Do not run the power
leads and control circuit wiring in the same
electrical conduit.
Note: All T operators are pre-wired to accept
reversing edge components. To comply with UL
requirements, one of these systems must be
installed and wired to the operator. Refer to
Figures 9 and 10 for Edge component wiring
and installation.
For operator models not installed with reversing
edge components or photoelectric device, ONLY
ONE THREE BUTTON STATION OR A CONTROL
WIRED FOR CONSTANT PRESSURE TO CLOSE
MAY BE USED TO CONTROL THE OPERATOR.
THIS IS TO COMPLY WITH UL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS. IN THIS CASE THE CONTROL
STATION MUST BE LOCATED WITHIN CLEAR
SIGHT OF THE DOOR ADJACENT TO A
PLACARD (SUPPLIED WITH THE OPERATOR)
WITH THIS WORDING:
WARNING TO PREVENT
ENTRAPMENT DO NOT START DOOR
DOWNWARD UNLESS DOOR WAY IS
CLEAR
Operators which are equipped with a reversing
edge circuit may have one or more additional
means of control which should be wired in
accordance with the diagram supplied in the
operator. Refer to Figure 10.
RISK OF ENTRAPMENT THAT MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

range of travel. When properly set, it will slip
freely if the door should encounter an
obstruction, and it should be possible to stop the
travel of the door by hand.
WARNING: Before adjustment remove
power to the operator.
CAUTION NEVER COMPRESS CLUTCH
SPRING BEYOND POINT LIMITED BY THE
DESIGN OF THE OPERATOR OR REPLACE IT
WITH A HEAVIER SPRING.
Due to changing conditions of the door and
normal wear, it may be necessary to occasionally
readjust the clutch to obtain dependable
operation.
WARNING: BEFORE DOING SO BE CERTAIN
THAT THE DOOR IS IN GOOD WORKING
CONDITION, PROPERLY
COUNTERBALANCED AND THAT THE
CLUTCH IS NOT SLIPPING BECAUSE OF
LOOSE OR MISSING HARDWARE, BINDING
IN THE TRACK, RUBBING AGAINST THE
DOOR STOPS OR DEFECTIVE OR
MISADJUSTED SPRINGS. ANY SERVICE
REQUIRED TO THE DOOR, DOOR SPRINGS
OR DOOR OPERATOR MUST BE
PREFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL DOOR INSTALLER.
The clutch pad will wear during normal operation
and should be replaced when it becomes difficult
or impossible to sufficiently tighten the clutch to
obtain smooth operation of the door when it is in
good working condition. After reassembly, adjust
clutch as described above.
IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OF CLUTCH
SETTING COULD CAUSE ENTRAPMENT,
INJURY OR DEATH. SET CLUTCH
ADJUSTMENT FOR JUST ENOUGH FORCE
TO OPERATE THE DOOR RELIABLY, BUT
NO STRONGER. Contact a service
professional to correct any binding, sticking
or other door problems. DO NOT OVER-
ADJUST CLUTCH SETTING TO
COMPENSATE FOR A POORLY WORKING
DOOR.
WARNING
RISK OF ENTRAPMENT THAT MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DISCONNECT POWER TO THE OPENER
BEFORE SERVICING OR MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS. ENSURE DOORWAY IS
CLEAR BEFORE STARTING TESTING OF
UNIT.
WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO
OPERATOR BEFORE SERVICING OR
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT:
The clutch is set to its lightest adjustment by
the manufacturer. To tighten the clutch, turn
all four of the clutch adjustment nuts clockwise
in 1/4 turn increments.
CLUTCH
ASSEMBLY

Following installation, the operator MUST be
tested and respond correctly to all controls as
specified on the wiring diagram. KEEP personnel
and equipment clear of the area beneath the
door when performing the tests. When testing
the 3-button wall station, first observe that each
button operates the door in the direction
indicated and that the STOP button performs that
function. With the door stopped at its full open
position, the OPEN button should be inoperative.
This should be verified and, likewise, the CLOSE
button should be inoperative with the door fully
closed.
Certain operator control circuits use only a single
button or a two button control station and may be
designed to function differently than the more
common three-button circuit described above.
Test the controls in accordance with the proper
response for your installation.
Observe the door when traveling in each
direction for smoothness of operation. Test the
setting of the clutch by restraining the door by
hand. The clutch should slip. Re-check the limit
settings. The door should close tightly at the floor
without excessive impact. Likewise, it should fully
clear the door opening without the trolley traveler
coming too close to the power head.
To test it for proper reversal, place an object
beneath the leading edge of the door. The door
should instantly reverse when it comes into
contact with the object provided the height of the
object exceeds the cut out point built into the
close limit switch (approximately four inches).
If the operator is equipped with other means of
control, such as additional 3 button stations or
radio controls, each of these should be tested
separately for proper operation.
TESTING
To test the manual disconnect first move the
door to the fully closed position. Then disconnect
the power to the operator. Manual door
operation is possible when the release cord is
pulled and the door arm assembly releases from
the trolley traveler. If it is difficult to disengage or
engage the door arm assembly at the closed
position because the chain appears to be under
compression, reset the CLOSE limit slightly to
reduce the door travel in the close direction.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE
OPERATOR BEFORE SERVICING,
CONNECTING ACCESSORY DEVICES OR
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
WARNING

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT STAND UNDER DOOR TO TEST
REVERSING EDGE. USE A CORRUGATED
BOX OR SIMILAR OBJECT.
WARNING

Normally, very little maintenance is required. A monthly visual inspection must be made for
loose or missing hardware and for excessive slack in the v-belt and jackshaft chain. The
clutch must be checked periodically and adjustments made if necessary. (See page 16)
Test the reversing edge circuit or components (where applicable) at least once a month by
permitting the door to contact an obstruction while closing. (See Testing Section. )
Lubrication of the operator is not required. It is important, for trouble free service from the
operator, that the door be kept free from binding, properly counter balanced and periodically
lubricated. An annual inspection of the door by a qualified overhead door professional
is recommended.
* Door must be in good operating condition. An electrical door operator cannot move a garage
door that is in poor condition. The door must operate freely in the track, with no binding or
obstructions, and must be well balanced. Check the spring balance of your door by bringing
the door to a half-open position and leaving it there. If the door stays in that position, it is well
balanced. If it moves more than a few inches the springs possibly need adjustment. Call a
qualified door service company.
Warning: Repairs and adjustments to the door and operator should be
performed only by someone qualified to service commercial overhead
doors and operators.
We constantly strive to maintain and improve the quality of our products. Therefore, the
components shown in the illustrations were accurate at time of printing but are subject to
change without notice as quality improvements are made.
