HEADER BRACKET POSITIONING
The header bracket must be rigidly fastened to a structural support of the garage. Reinforce the wall or ceiling with a 40 mm (1-1/2") board if necessary. Failure to comply may result in improper operation of safety reverse system.
You can attach the header bracket either to the header wall
(1) or to the ceiling (3). Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements.
With the door closed, mark the vertical centre line (2) of the garage door. Extend line onto header wall above the door.
Open door to highest point of travel. Draw an intersecting horizontal line (4) on header wall 50 mm for Sectional
Doors, and up to 200 mm for Tilt Doors, above high point to provide travel clearance for top edge of door.

INSTALL THE HEADER BRACKET
NOTE: Refer to vertical centre and horizontal lines created in the previous section for proper placement of header bracket.
A. Wall mount: centre the header bracket (1) on the vertical centre line (2) with the bottom edge of the header bracket on the horizontal line (4) (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling). Drill and secure the Header Bracket using the most suitable variation of holes (5). If using the wood screws provided, uses a 4.5 mm pilot drill. If securing to a metal fixture, self tapping “tek” screws may be more suitable.
B. Ceiling mount: extend vertical centre line (2) onto the ceiling.
Centre the header bracket (1) on the vertical mark no more than 150 mm (6") from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward the opener. Drill and secure the Header Bracket using the most suitable variation of holes (5). If using the wood screws provided, uses a 4.5 mm pilot drill. If securing to a metal fixture, self tapping “tek” screws may be more suitable. For concrete ceiling fixtures, 8 mm wall plugs are provided.

ATTACH RAIL TO HEADER BRACKET
Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket
• Position the assembled opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use foam packing material as a protective base.
NOTE: If the door spring is in the way youʼll need help.
Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring.
• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
• Align the bracket holes and secure with the 80 mm clevis pin and “R” clip (1) and (2).

POSITION THE OPENER
Disengage the trolley mechanism (see section “Operating the manual release”) and slide it back towards the powerhead.
Secure the hanging push arm up into the rail assembly temporarily using tape or rope, to avoid a hazard.
SECTIONAL DOOR
You will need a 50 mm piece of timber or similar spacer to gauge the distance between door and rail.
1.Raise the opener onto support.
2.Open the door completely, place a 50 mm spacer between the door and the rail (as shown).
3.The final positioning of the rail should be relatively parallel to the horizontal door panels.

HANG THE OPENER
1.Postion the opener as in the previous step. Check the rail is centred over the door.
Ensure the rail brackets (fig.1) is on the Powerhead end of the rail in a position as close to the opener as possible (X).
2.If mounting directly onto the ceiling, (fig.2) screw the bracket directly into a structural support on the ceiling.
3.If hanging the opener below the ceiling, (fig.3) bend the hanging brackets provided, and secure to both the ceiling and the rail bracket.
4.The centre rail bracket is recommended on large
doors. Install the centre rail bracket in the mid position of the rail. Simply slip both halves over the top of the rail
(fig.4), and secure to the ceiling, either directly or with hanging strips.
5.Check the opener is securely centred over the door.
Remove the 50 mm spacer, and any other assembly tools. Operate the door manually and check for unrestricted operation.

FASTEN DOOR BRACKET
The door bracket must be securely fastened to the frame or a structural support on the door.
Mounting position for Sectional Doors
1.Align the bracket on the centre line, measure down 100-
300 mm from the door top edge (use the door bracket that best suits the situation).
2.Secure the bracket in this position, using the most suitable variation of holes available.

ATTACH DOOR ARM TO TROLLEY
Make sure the garage door is fully closed. Pull the manual release cord to disengage the trolley. Slide the trolley to around 300 mm from the header bracket.
1.The straight door arm is already preassembled to the trolley.
2.Install the curved arm onto the door bracket using the Clevis pin
(2) and R-Clip (3) supplied.
3.Move the straight and curved arms together and secure using two bolts and nuts provided (4).
- For Sectional Doors: ensure the angle of the straight arm is around 20 degrees from vertical, when the door is fully closed.
Alternate Arm Configuration: The curved arm can be assembled directly to the trolley assembly if required (see figure 3). Unscrew the front two screws in the trolley assembly. Remove the straight arm pivot and reassemble with the curved arm bracket.

OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE
DO NOT DISENGAGE THE OPENER TO MANUAL
OPERATION WITH CHILDREN , PERSONS OR OTHER
OBJECTS INCLUDING MOTOR VEHICLES WITHIN THE
DOORWAY : (The door is under significant tension and if the door has developed a fault or incorrect tension, it may be unsafe and may fall rapidly.)
The manual release mechanism enables the door to be manually operated during power outages or in an emergency.
The RED Manual Release cord is preassembled to the trolley. When the opener is installed the handle should be no higher then 1.8
metres from the floor. The cord may need to be extended.
Attach the manual release Instruction Label to the cord as indicated in fig 1.
DO NOT USE THE RED HANDLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE
DOOR.

Instruction label
To operate the Manual Release:
The door should be fully closed if possible.
1.Disengage: Pull the manual release rope and handle down to disconnect. This will disengage the trolley, allowing the door to be moved by hand, UP and DOWN as many times as needed.
2.Re-engage: Pull the manual release rope towards the motor until it springs back to its original horizontal position. This will reengage the trolley, and when the door passes the trolley position it will automatically re-engage the opener.
