  • Ensure the support for the rail head (opposite the motor) is securely fixed to a solid structure, not just a cover panel.
  • The system is suitable for sectional doors up to 2.25m high and 5.5m wide, with a maximum weight of 130 kg and a pulling force of 1000 N.

3.2 Mounting the Drive Unit

Follow the detailed instructions provided in the assembly manual for mounting the drive head and guide rails. Pay close attention to the positioning of the head support relative to the garage door's center. The belt drive system is maintenance-free and ensures quiet operation.
