INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 



Mount the Drive Rail as per Method A or B. 



Mount the Control Box either next to the Drive Rail (via the Control Box mounting holes located within the 
Control Box cover) utilizing the standard cable provided OR on a side wall of the garage (via the 3 hanging 
mounts located on the base of the Control Box) using the optional cable extension kit. 



Important Notes: 

a.

With the garage door in the fully open position the underside of the Drive Rail should be no 
more than 50mm above the highest arcing point for its entire length. Mounting the Drive Rail 
more than 50mm above the Highest Arcing Point of the garage door may cause the Drive Rail 
to flex excessively. (Fig. 7) 

b.

The ceiling structure must be adequate to support the weight of the AGDO. It is entirely up to 
the installer to determine the structural suitability of the fixing points.
