Preparation
First, check whether your door is balanced and in equilibrium. Open
your door about halfway and let it go.
The door can now hardly change its position independently, but must
remain in this position held by the spring force alone.
Motive force: maximum 15 kg.
1. The rail of the garage door MUST be connected securely and firmly
to the supporting wall or ceiling above the garage door.
2. Additional brackets and mounting rails (not included in the supply)
might be required, if the your garage ceiling has a cladding, boards or
similar.
3. If your garage does not have a separate side entrance, an external
emergency release should be installed.

Assembling the rail

6.1
The rail is largely preassembled and consists of 3 parts. The carriage,
push rod, release handle, the guide pulley and the lintel bracket with
chain tensioner are in the front part (A). The seating for the drive shaft
and the sprocket are in the rear part (B). Lay the front and rear rail
sections one behind the other.
1. Remove cable ties that secure the chain. Leave the transport lock
(X) still in position.
2. Pull apart the two rail sections completely in order to create a gap
for the middle section (C). This rail is designed in such a way so as
to easily add the middle section. Slide the 2 connecting pieces (D)
over the seams of the rail sections up to the markings. To secure
the connecting pieces, bend the sheet metal lugs out-wards with a
suitable tool.
The assembly of the rail is complete.

Tighten the chain

6.2
Tighten the chain of the rail until the spring (1) is compressed only by
about half.
This must be able to bounce during operation.
