Extreme safety warning:
Safe practices must be observed when
lifting roller doors as they can be very heavy. The installer must
ensure the roller door is secure and supported at all times. The
door is to be placed onto both brackets at the same time. The wall
brackets are designed to support only a horizontal door and using
them to mount door lifting gear is
not
recommended by Taurean.
Any injury or damage arising from this practice will be the
installer’s responsibility and is
not
covered by the door warranty.
14.
Centre the roller door on the axle with the same amount of curtain overlap
at each side of the opening and position the motor. Rocking the roller door
on its axle will assist the door to move into position. Ensure the drum sits
on the axle as marked in Step 12.
15.
Move the door to the rear of the bracket slots and, without cutting
through to the centre nylon strap, remove all other packaging material.
16.
Turn the axle to allow the door to be relaxed on the axle with the bottom
rail at the bottom of the curtain (6 o’clock position). Hold the door and
give the axle a ½ turn of tension (see Figure 3). Fully tighten the axle
clamps.
17.
Apply 1 turn of spring pre-tension by turning the curtain roll over the top
and hold in this position (Figure 3). There is now 1.5 turns of pre-tension.
18.
Without letting go of the curtain,
cut the centre strap and remove
packaging. Holding the centre of the bottom rail, the curtain may now be
fully opened and closed to ensure the roller door is rolling up in correct
alignment on the roll (ie, the ends of the rolled curtain must be square and
not ‘coned’) prior to fitting the Guide Tracks. Take care to avoid the nylon
braiding or the door curtain touching the wall.
19.
The door should have a small amount of lift when in the open position and
so a softwood chock may now be carefully positioned (Figure 3) between
the Bottom Rail and the curtain roll to prevent the door rolling up.
20.
Cut the bottom of the tracks to suit the opening height. The underside of
the top stop is normally level with the top of the opening (Figure 2). The
weather seal will protrude ~20mm into the opening when the door is
open. The top of the track should be at least 100mm above the wall
bracket.
21.
Flare out and trim
both the side and rear
faces at the track lead-
in (Figure 4). Nick the
safety edge in two
places to allow
bending. After fitting
the tracks, if
necessary, adjust the
angles so the curtain
enters the track
smoothly. If the door
is installed high bend
the top edge of the
track away to avoid
catching the nylon
braiding.
22.
Mount the tracks to the wall. Lower the door to the closed position and
slide the tracks in from the side until there is a 3-6mm gap between the
track and the black plastic button at the end of the Bottom Rail. Ensure the
tracks are vertical then fix to the wall by screwing or welding as
appropriate.
23.
Note:
Before fully fastening the tracks, operate the door fully to ensure it
is not binding in the tracks at any point.
24.
Adjust the door-axle to the
optimal position on the
mounting brackets. Work
with the door in the open
position and only loosen one
end at a time. Loosen the
clamp and move the door
towards the wall until just
about touching the track
front face but avoiding any
binding. Ensure both clamps
are fully re-tightened. (Figure
5).
25.
Install both of the optional
top stop catcher brackets (Figure 6)
at each end of the bottom rail using
the supplied dome-head bolt and
nut. Mark using the bracket as a
guide and drill.
26.
Check the door balance:
When correctly balanced, the roller
door should have a tendency to lift
slightly at the top and bottom
positions and be neutral or slightly
heavy at mid height.
27.
If necessary, adjust the springs (Figure 3):
With the door in the open position, loosen one clamp. Then, while
preventing the axle from turning with a pipe wrench, loosen the other
clamp. The handle of the wrench will want to lift towards the ceiling. Turn
the axle in the direction required to adjust the spring tension: raise the
wrench to make the door ‘heavier’, lower to ‘lighten’. This is a potentially
hazardous step and should only be attempted by a competent
tradesperson. Ensure both clamps are fully re-tightened before operating
door.
28.
Complete motor installation and setup to the manufacturer’s instructions.
29.
Fit the optional centre lock. Remove the protective film from this area,
position the lock front in the panel holes and hold or tape to the outside of
the door. From the back of the door, orient the lock with the writing the
‘right way up’ and screw to the lock front with the 2 screws supplied.
With the door in the fully closed position, mark the height positions of the
locking bar and cut a hole in each track for the locking bars to slide
through.
With the lock arms fully retracted
,
temporarily fit the 2 locking bars to the
lock arms then mark the correct length. Cut each bar to length and
chamfer-cut the corners for a lead-in. Then install the locking bars through
the PVC guides ensuring that any supplied anti-rattle grommets are fitted
and screw them to the lock arms. Check the lock operation.
30.
Remove the protective film from the outside face of the curtain.
31.
Fit the optional waist-high slide-lock at a suitable height. When withdrawn
the locking bar must not extend beyond the door curtain. Use the
assembly as a drilling guide and attach with the rivets provided. With the
door in the fully closed position, mark the height positions of the locking
bar and cut a hole in each track for the locking bars to slide through.
