TROUBLESHOOTING 

What should be  checked if the door is not balanced properly?  

When a door is not well in balance, then it is necessary to check first the following details : 
1. 

Is the given information correct : 

-

weight of the door leaf (including hardware) 

-

is the division of the weight equal on each panel, or are there panels with a different 
weight than the others, for instance by the application of different panels (glass, pass 
door with heavy profiles). 

2. 

Are the correct parts supplied and fitted? 
especially the drums and springs are important :  

-

are the correct dimensions supplied ? 

3. 

Is the door properly installed? 

-

horizontal tracks really horizontally and not with inclination. 

4. 

Were modifications made afterwards ? 

-

check if any changes were made during the fitting, or if a pass door was fitted later, or 
any reinforcement profiles fitted etc.  

5. 

Is the e-operator installed and selected properly? 

-

Is the installed e-operator suitable for this door? 

-

Is the e-operator power adjusted properly for this door? (See installation 
manual operator) 

-

Is the connection of the drawbar to the top-panel on the right position? (See 
attachment and manual operator). 

WHAT TO DO AFTER CABLE BREAK OR SPRING BREAK? 

NB! Also make sure to instruct the user about this.  
After spring breaking the door will be stopped by the 656-series spring break devices. The end 
user must contact immediately a qualified overhead door mechanic. The spring breaking device 
is a so called “one-shot”  device. After it has acted, it must be replaced, together will all other 
possibly damaged components of the door, such as torsion springs, spring plugs, bearing plates 
etc. The door has to be inspected thouroughly. See separate manual 656 spring break device.  
After cable breaking, the door will be stopped by the second cable, which is designed to be 
strong enough to hold the weight of the door. Again, qualified overhead door mechanics must 
inspect the door and replace all possibly damaged components, such as: bottom brackets, 
cable, roller carriers, rollers, etc.
