IMPORTANT NOTE: Before the operator is installed, be sure the door has been properly aligned and is working

smoothly. Although each installation will vary due to particular building characteristics, refer to the following

general procedures to install the operator.

MOUNT HEADER BRACKET

The trolley operator is generally mounted over the

center of the door. However, off center mounting

may be required due to interfering structures or

location of door stile / top section support. In such

cases, the operator may be mounted up to 24” off

center on torsion spring doors. Extension springs

require center mounting.

1. Locate the center of the door and mark a line on

the wall directly above the door. Extend this line up

the wall.

2. Determine the highest point of door travel.

Slowly raise the door and observe the action of the

top section. When the top section reaches its highest

point, use a level and project a line from this point to

the center line the of the door.

MOUNT OPERATOR

1. Allowing the motor to rest on the floor, raise the

front end of the track assembly to the front header

bracket and fasten using the 3/8”dia. x 6.40” long

pivot shaft and cotterpins supplied.

3. Using the projected lines for location, mount a

suitable wood block or length of angle iron to the wall

above the door opening. Refer to the illustration

below. This will provide a mounting pad for the front

header bracket of the operator. If necessary

reinforce the wall with suitable mounting brackets to

ensure adequate support of mounting pad. Using

suitable hardware, mount the (U shaped) front header

bracket to the pad.

Header Bracket Drill Pattern

2. Swing the operator to a horizontal position above

the guide rails and temporarily secure with a suitable

rope, chain, or support from the floor. Now open

garage door slowly, being careful not to dislodge the

temporary support. Using the door as a support,

place a level against the rail and shim the operator

until it is horizontal. Make sure that the operator is

aligned with the center line of the door.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATOR SUPPORT

1. The illustration below shows a typical method of

hanging the operator from the ceiling. Each

installation may vary, but in all cases side braces

should be used for additional strength.

2. For mounting of the support brace(s) to the

powerhead, Four holes (clearance up to 3/8” bolts)

are located on each side of frame.

NOTE: If the operator is longer than 15 feet, use of a

mid-span support is recommended.

STRAIGHT ARM ATTACHMENT

1. Fully close the door and move the trolley slider to

within (2”) two inches of the front idler.

2. Latch the straight door arm to the fixed roll pin in

the trolley carriage. Make sure the open side of

notch on the arm faces the doorway.

3. Attach the door bracket to the door arm using the

3/8”-16 x 1” bolt and nylon locking nut provided.

Leave the nut and bolt loose enough to allow the two

pieces to pivot freely.

4. Using 3/8” hardware provided, bolt the curved

door arm to the straight arm, aligning the mounting

holes in such a way that the door bracket pivot bolt

will be in line with the top rollers on the door.

5. Position the door bracket to the center line on the

door. Using suitable hardware, attach the door

bracket to the door. Many installations, except solid

wood doors, will require additional support for the

door. Refer to the illustration below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At this time, ensure all bolts

and lag screws are properly secured.

SPECIAL CONTROL WIRING

If your operator was shipped from the factory with

non-standard control wiring or with optional acces-

sories that require addition instructions, refer to the

wiring diagram(s) indicated in the special control

wiring data box. When a replacement wiring diagram

is present, wiring diagrams in this manual will not

apply. Refer only to the replacement wiring diagram

for all connections.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your wiring diagram is missing,

or you are unsure of the wiring type for your operator, con-

tact the customer service department @ 1-800-528-2806.

CONTROL WIRING (con’t)

Radio Controls

On all models with type B2 control wiring, a terminal

bracket marked R1 R2 R3 is located on the outside of

the electrical enclosure. All standard radio control

receivers (single channel residential type) may be

mounted to this bracket. The operator will then open

a fully closed door, close a fully open door, and

reverse a closing door from the radio transmitter.

However, for complete door control from a

transmitter, a commercial three-channel radio set

(with connections for OPEN/CLOSE/STOP) is

recommended.

Additional Access Control Equipment

Locate any additional access control equipment as desired (but so that the door will be in clear sight of the

person operating the equipment), and connect to the terminal block in the electrical enclosure as shown on the

FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS diagram. Any control with a normally (N.O.) isolated output contact may be

connected in parallel with the OPEN button. More than one device may be connected in this manner. Use 16

gauge wire or larger for all controls. DO NOT USE THE CONTROL CIRCUIT TRANSFORMER (24VAC) IN THE

OPERATOR TO POWER ANY ACCESS CONTROL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN A STANDARD RESIDENTIAL

TYPE RADIO RECEIVER.

External Interlock Switch

The operator has a terminal connection for an external interlock switch. This switch must be a normally closed

(N.C.) two-wire device with a contact rating of at least 3 amps @ 24VAC. When such a switch is connected as

shown on the FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS diagram, the control circuit will be disabled when the switch is

actuated, thereby preventing electrical operation of the door from the control devices.

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

DO NOT USE RADIO CONTROLS WITH YOUR

OPERATOR UNLESS YOU HAVE INSTALLED

SOME TYPE OF ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION

DEVICE. THE USE OF RADIO CONTROLS

PRESENTS POTENTIAL HAZARDS DUE TO THE

USER’S ABILITY TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE

DOOR WHEN OUT OF SIGHT OF THE DOOR. IN

ADDITION, IF A SINGLE CHANNEL CONTROL IS

USED, THE USER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP

THE DOOR FROM THE TRANSMITTER.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove cotterpin from nut on the clutch shaft.

2. Back off clutch nut until there is very little tension

on the clutch spring.

3. Tighten clutch nut gradually until there is just

enough tension to permit the operator to move the

door smoothly but to allow the clutch to slip if the door

is obstructed. When the clutch is properly adjusted, it

should generally be possible to stop the door by hand

during travel.

4. Reinstall Cotterpin.

CAUTION: The adjustable friction clutch is NOT

an automatic reversing device. An electric or

pneumatic reversing edge can be added to

bottom edge of door if desired.
