SIDE ROOM REQUIREMENTS
Fig. 1
shows the minimum and recommended side room that is
required to mount the opener. The distance between the edge of
the door curtain and the inside of the bracket must be at least
40mm. However, for easier access it is recommended that at
least 95mm is allowed .
1. CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
SHED MASTER AUTOMATIC OPENER CHECK THE
OPERATION OF THE DOOR.
The door must be well balanced and be in a reasonable
operating condition. You should be able to lift the door
smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around
900mm to 1200mm above the floor. The door should not stick
or bind in the guide tracks. The ideal operational effort in
raising or lowering the door should not exceed a force of 10kg
(22 lbs.). Make sure that all door locks, ropes, chains etc. are
either released, or disabled and remove unnecessary
accessories.
2. FIXING OF DOOR WEIGHT BAR
Move the door manually to the mid open position. Place the
weight bar on the bottom rail, in the middle of the door and
secure with the fasteners provided
(Fig. 2)
. Check the operation
of the door again. If the door feels heavy it may require extra
tension to be added to the door springs. Refer to the door
Installation manual from the manufacturer on how to tension
the door.
3. INSTALLING LOCKING BAR COVERS
To protect against entrapment of fingers etc. inserted into door
guides – remove the protective backing of the double sided tape
and install the locking bar covers over the holes in each door
guide.
