area in which the door travels must be flat and horizontal
(see Figure 1).
•
For watertight fitting of the bottom profiles and smooth
door operation, the following conditions must exist
on-site:
– Uneven floors must have a difference of less
than 3 mm,
– Holes in the floor must not exceed Ø 10 mm.
Observe the following during fitting:
•
Establish a secure connection with the building
structure.
•
Check that the fixing materials supplied are suitable for
the given structural conditions.
•
Always obtain the permission of the structural engineer
before fastening the door to supporting structural
elements.
•
Ensure adequate water run-off in the area of the floor
rail and the frame parts, otherwise there is a danger of
corrosion.
•
Ensure sufficient drying and ventilation in the building,
otherwise there is danger of corrosion.
•
The door must be effectively protected before carrying
out plastering and paintwork, as splashes of mortar,
cement, plaster, paint etc. can damage the door
surface.
•
Protect the door from caustic, aggressive substances,
e.g. nitrous reactions from stones or mortar, acids,
alkali solutions, de-icing salt, aggressive paints or
sealants. Failure to do so could lead to corrosion.
To ensure simple and secure fitting, please follow

the work steps listed in the illustrated section .

Operation
4 .1
Door operation
WARNING
Danger of injury due to door travel
The side sectional door closes horizontally; persons or
objects may be trapped.
When in operation, make sure that neither persons,
▶
children in particular, nor objects are located within
the door's area of travel.
Always keep the opening area of the door clear.
▶
Do not operate the door in strong winds.
▶
The door must only be operated by suitably instructed
persons. If the side sectional door is competently fitted
and inspected, it can be easily moved and operated.
4 .1 .1
Manually operated doors
Note the separate fitting instructions for manually operated
doors (see
Figures 2 .9a / 2 .9b
4 018 371 RE / 02.2020
and 4a .2 / 4b .2).
WARNING
Danger of injury due to improper operation
Persons or objects may be trapped if the door is
operated improperly.
Only open and close the door using the supplied
▶
operating elements; these ensure a controlled,
smooth action.
When closing the door, make sure that the latches
▶
engage fully and correctly.
4 .1 .2
Power-driven doors
The automation of a door requires that special safety
regulations be observed.
Consult your supplier.
CAUTION
Danger of crushing between the door and wall
Crushing may occur if the space between the automated
door in the open end-of-travel position and the rear
garage wall is ≤ 500 mm.
In this case, fit a buffer sealing to the last section as
▶
well (see
Figure 4a .7 / 4b .6

Cleaning and Care
ATTENTION
Scratches on the panes due to improper cleaning
Rubbing the panes causes scratches.
Dirt and dust particles must first be thoroughly rinsed
▶
off with water. If necessary, only wash with water,
a pH-neutral household detergent and a soft, clean
cloth.
Clear water is sufficient for cleaning and care . Use
warm water together with a neutral, non-abrasive cleaning
agent (household detergent, pH value 7) if more heavily
soiled. To preserve the surface characteristics, regular
cleaning must be carried out at least every 3 months
(outside of door, seals). The slide area behind the side
seals must be kept permanently clean so that it offers
a smooth sliding surface.
A variety of environmental influences (e.g. maritime
climate, acids, road salt, air pollutants, paint damage) may
make additional protective coating necessary (see Surface
treatment on page 10).

Inspections and maintenance
WARNING
Danger of injury due to defective safety components
Important safety components may fail or become
defective if not sufficiently inspected and maintained.
Have a qualified person perform inspection and
