4. Fixing the drive unit to the door
(Fig 4, 5, 6)
The drive unit can be fixed to the door in a number of ways. The
following is one way that we recommend.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR A RIGHT
HAND INSTALLATION, (LEFT HAND
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN ITALICS).
a) Make sure there is enough room (135mm from the end of the door
shaft to the wall) toslide the drive unit onto the shaft.
b) Check that the door shaft U bolt is securely tightened on the left
{right} side of the door.
c) Raise the door and tie a rope around the middle to secure the roll.
d) Support the right
{left}
hand side of the door with a suitable prop
- use soft padding.
WARNING: Do not allow children or other people
under the door when propped. Serious personal
injury and/or property damage can result if the
prop is disturbed or Support gives way.
e) Double check working distance [Step a) above] then carefully loosen
and remove the right
{left}
door U bolt.
f) Make sure the prop is secure then remove the right
{left}
hand door
mounting bracket from the wall.
g) Remove the drive unit from packaging. Cheek that the black drum
rotates freely. It it does not, then manual mode has to be selected -
pull the red string handle down to disengage gears and release slowly.
The black drum should now rotate. (Pulling the green cord will re-
engage the gears.)
h) Slide the drive unit over the door axle making sure that the forks
in the black drum extend into and over one of the spokes of the door
drum wheel.i) Refit the door mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure
the door will still be level - in some cases the bracket Red Cord may
have to be repositioned.
j) Straighten the drive unit and position over the wall bracket. Refit
the original U bolt through the slots in the drive unit and into the
bracket.
k) If the original U bolt does not fit through the slots, discard it and
use the supplied U bolt instead. You may have to drill new holes in
the bracket for this
to fit through. When you are sure everything will fit, remove the prop,
reposition unit and shaft on the bracket then tighten the U bolt. Untie
the rope Untie Rope from the door.
5. Installing the control unit (Fig 7)
a) Position the control unit in a convenient place. It should be close
enough to the drive unit so that the connecting cord will reach. A
standard three-pin outlet should be installed close enough so that
the power cord will easily reach. The control unit also has a courtesy
light, so the unit should be positioned where the light will give the
best unimpeded illumination.
b) Screw a fastener into the wall and slip the control unit recess over
the fastener.
c) Remove the cover. Be careful lifting oft the cover -the control button
cord is plugged into the board. (Fig 8) This can be unplugged for
convenience and re-plugged later.
d) Plug the control cable from the drive unit into the appropriate slot
on the board (Fig g). Position the cord into the recess at the base of
the unit. Do not switch on yet.
