INSTALLATION—HEAD ASSEMBLY

4.

Check that the side columns are plumb and square 
with the floor and wall.

5.

Tighten all anchor hardware securing both side col-
umns to the wall.

6.

Remove any bar clamps that may have been used 
to temporarily hold the side columns to the wall.

HEAD ASSEMBLY

1.

Before removing the head/fabric roll assembly from 
the shipping crate, locate four 

¹₂

-13 x 1

¹₄

-in. ser-

rated-flange hex screws, four 

¹₂

-13 serrated-flange 

nuts, and the flange bearing assembly in the small 
parts carton.

NOTE:

The 

¹₂

-13 x 6-in. hex screws that were

installed earlier will be used to attach the
head assembly to the side columns.

Also, some oversized doors require a
steel spacer between both side columns
and the head assembly. If your door is
oversized, locate two 9-in. x 1

³₄

-in. steel

spacers shipped in the small parts carton.
(The spacers are further identified by a
hole at each end.)

2.

Remove the head/fabric roll assembly from the 
shipping crate.

Before the head/fabric roll assembly is
lifted into place, make sure both side col-
umns are secured to the building wall.

Also, the head/fabric roll assembly must
be secured to the forklift before lifting it in
place. Failure to properly secure the side
columns or the head/fabric assembly can
result in serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage. DO NOT remove the forklift
from under the head/fabric roll assembly
until it is secured to both side columns.

Use care when handling the fabric roll to
ensure that the fabric is not torn or dam-
aged. DO NOT remove the shipping bands
holding the fabric to the roll.

IMPORTANT: Install the head/fabric roll

assembly with the bottom bar/
fabric roll coming off the back of
the drum assembly.

3.

Using a forklift, lift the head/fabric roll assembly in 
place.

4.

Position the head assembly in front of the pair of 
holes near the top of each side column. Align the 
holes in the motor mounting bracket with the holes 
in the side column. (See Figure 18.)

IMPORTANT: If your door is oversized, two

large spacers were included in
the small parts carton. Failure to
install a spacer between the
motor mounting bracket and
flange bearing assembly could
result in damage to the door.
(See 

Figure 18

 and 

Figure 19

.)

5.

Attach the motor mounting bracket to the side col-
umn using two 

¹₂

-13 x 1

¹₄

-in. serrated-flange hex 

screws and nuts (or two 

¹₂

-13 x 2-in. screws and 

nuts if spacers are required, or nuts only if 6-in. 
screws were installed earlier). DO NOT tighten the 
hex nuts at this time. (See Figure 18.)

Figure 18

6.

Slide the flange bearing assembly over the drum 
shaft at the non-drive end of the head/fabric roll 
assembly. (See Figure 19.)

IMPORTANT: If your door requires spacers, be

sure to install a spacer between
the flange bearing assembly and
the side column. (See 

Figure 19

.)
