REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

-6- R3C
A. Forward
This section of the manual deals with the basic fitting requirements which should be met before attempting to
install the AGDO. Study them carefully to ensure that the garage door and surroundings are suitable for such an
installation.
Important Note: The procedures outlined in this manual require a certain degree of technical and
mechanical skill. It is not recommended that the AGDO be installed by a home handyman. The AGDO
should always be installed, serviced and adjusted by a technically qualified person.
B. Check for Correct Function of the Garage Door
Before beginning the installation of the AGDO check that the garage door is functioning correctly. The garage
door must be well balanced and operate smoothly and freely. When opened to between 900~1200mm from the
floor and released the garage door should not rise or fall more than 100mm. The garage door should not bind or
stick in the side tracks. The ideal operational effort required to open or close the garage door should not exceed a
force of 150N (15kg)
Important Note: The AGDO must not be installed on a poorly adjusted, worn or damaged garage door.
C. Side Room Requirement
The recommended maximum and minimum mounting positions are depicted in Fig.3. The ideal distance should
be between 40 ~ 50mm as measured from the outer edge of the garage door curtain to the inner edge of the
garage door mounting bracket as indicated.
Important Note: The fixing distance may vary from garage door to garage door depending on the distance
that the door drum wheel has been set inside the door curtain. The distances quoted above are based on a
minimum setback of 50mm between the edge of the garage door curtain and the outer face of the drum
wheel web as depicted.
Fig 3
D. Left or Right Hand Installation
The AGDO has been factory set to be installation to the right hand end of the garage door. (When viewed from
inside the garage looking out) If the left hand end of the garage door is the preferred side for installation then the
procedure outlined in Section E below must be carried out. If the AGDO is to be installed to the right hand end of
the garage door skip Section E and proceed to Section 1 of the Installation Instructions.
E. Converting For Right Hand Installation
Locate the red and black motor wires. (Fig.2, Item 17, Polarity Terminals) Unplug the connector and reverse it so
that the red and black wires are in opposite positions to that depicted in the diagram.
