WARNING
Danger of injury as the result of structural
modifications
Changing or removing functional parts may put important
safety components out of action. Uncontrolled door
travel could occur and persons or objects may be
trapped as a result.
f Do not alter or remove any functional parts.
f Do not attach any additional components. The
torsion springs are precisely matched to the door leaf
weight. Additional components may overload the
springs.
f If equipping the door with an operator, pay attention
to the instructions provided by the manufacturers of
the door and operator. Only use the original
connections of the door manufacturer!
Before fitting the door, the door opening and the building
floor must be completely finished.
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.
•
Do not fasten the door system to supporting structural
members unless you have obtained the prior approval
of the structural engineer.
•
Ensure adequate water run-off in the area of the
bottom seal and the frame parts, otherwise there is a
danger of corrosion. (see Technical Manual)
•
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.
•
Clean the door surfaces with clear water, a soft sponge
and a neutral, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
f To ensure simple and secure fitting, please follow
the work steps listed in the illustrated section .

Danger of injury due to high spring tension
Springs are under high tension and may discharge high
forces if they are not secured during tensioning.
f Fix the door leaf to prevent uncontrolled movement
When the springs are tensioned correctly, the moving door
leaf has a slight tendency to pull upwards.
f Each time the door is serviced, the tension of the
