Only install the RDO on a properly balanced and aligned, well functioning Garage Door. An
improperly balanced or malfunctioning Garage Door could cause serious injury. Have a
qualified person check and if required, make repairs to your Garage Door
installing the
RDO. As a general rule, your Garage Door is deemed to be well balanced and aligned if it
a.
requires an equivalent amount of applied force to manually open or close and,
b.
requires no more than 150N of applied force to either manually open or close and,
c.
does not rise or fall more than 100mm when stopped at any position between fully open or
fully closed positions and,
d.
does not rub on or make contact with any supporting or surrounding structures.
4.
Repairs to Garage Doors must only be carried out by technically qualified persons. Attempting
to repair the Garage Door without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
5.
Remove or render inoperative all existing locks and ropes prior to installation of the RDO.
6
The counter balance springs on sectional type doors
be properly lubricated between all of
the coils with heavy automotive bearing grease. Failure to adequately lubricate the springs may
result in one or more of the following symptoms;
a
The springs will become rusty over time resulting in extra operating friction between
the coils which may cause the RDO to malfunction.
b.
Seasonal temperature changes may cause the Garage Door springs to expand and/or
contract. The resultant increase and/or decrease in operating friction may cause the RDO
to malfunction. Properly lubricating the springs will help to minimize the effect of seasonal
temperature changes in operating friction of your Garage Door.
7.
If possible, install the RDO at least 2 meters or more above the ground. Adjust the Manual
Release Cord so that it hangs approximately 1.8 meters from the ground.
8
Do not connect the RDO to the power source until this manual instructs you to do so.
9
The RDO must be connected to a
general purpose 220V outlet which has
been installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
10. Locate the wall control panel/push button;
a.
within site of the Garage Door and,
b.
at a minimum height of 1.5 meters above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of
small children and,
c.
away from all moving parts of the door.
11. Install the Entrapment Warning Label in a prominent position next to the wall control button.
12
The Manual Release Instruction Tag must remain attached to the Manual Release Cord.
13
After installing and correctly adjusting the RDO, the Garage Door
stop and reverse
direction when it comes into contact with a 35mm high solid object placed on the floor under the
Garage Door.
14
The correct function of the Safety Obstruction Reversing System should be checked on a
monthly basis. Make sure that the Garage Door reverses when it makes contact with an
obstruction.
