Important! The aluminium carriage guide is complete and ready to be fitted rapidly into the
automation.
It is available in different lengths according to the type of installation at hand (the type of door
that needs to be automated).
The carriage guide is based on the principle of chain transmission and is fitted with fine tuning
transmission to enable you to set the exact position (giving the correct tension to the chain).
The chain tightener is normally supplied slightly slack.
Caution! The chain guide must be positioned between 10 and 20 mm above the upper
edge of the door.
This position will guarantee optimum operation and will ensure that the garage door does
not grate against the chain guide during normal operation (fig. 3).
Guide preparation and assembly.
• Loosen the chain slightly by rotating the self-tapping nut using a box spanner (fig. 4).
• Mount the drilled guide supports and position them correctly on the sliding pawls fitted on
the guide (fig. 5).
• Position the guide fastening front brackets "H", along with their relative holding plates
(inserted into the rebate in the aluminium guide), using the supplied screws (fig. 6).
• Fasten the release cord to the hooking/unhooking element of the carriage.
• Mark the exact middle of the door width and draw a perpendicular line on the ceiling to make
the installation of the aluminium guide easier (fig. 6).
• The aluminium guide should be fitted perpendicularly to the door (measured with a spirit
level "G") and parallel to the ceiling (fig. 6).
• Fit the front brackets "H" of the aluminium guide to the upper cross piece of the door case-
ment using M6 screws or self-tapping screws 6,3 x 19 (fig. 6).
• Mark the fastening points for the rear drilled guide supports "I" (and central supports if
present) on the ceiling making sure you refer to the previously drawn perpendicular line. Drill
the holes using a Ø10 mm drill bit for rawlplugs (fig. 6).
• Fix the drilled guide supports perpendicularly to the ceiling using M6 screws. Fasten down
the front guide fastening screws.
• Release the carriage by pulling slightly and slide it along the guide until it reaches the front
near the door.
Fastening to the fold-up door (fig. 6)
- Fix the guide bracket "M" to the upper part of the door
on the centre line, using 6 self-tapping screws 4,9 x 19
or rivets.
- Fit the curved lever "N" to the chain guide bracket "M"
and to the carriage "P", using the supplied pins and
stop rings "Q".
To use the maximum run of the carriage you may have
to shorten the curved lever "N" (using the adjustment
holes) and move the starting point of the chain guide.
Manual manoeuvre
The motor reduction unit is irreversible and guarantees
that door is blocked in the closed position. To release
the door (during blackouts) proceed as follows:
• Pull the cord towards the door as shown in figure
7. The motor gears will be freed and the door can be
moved manually.
Attention: Do not use the cord to move the door!
Use the door's own handle at all times.
• To block the gears pull the cord in the opposite
direction as shown in figure 8 and then shut the door.
The release mechanism will rearm automatically.
