Environmental conditions

ATTENTION
Damage due to temperature differences
Differences in the inside and outside temperatures may
cause deflection of the door elements (bi-metal effect).
This may result in damage when the door is operated.
Comply with the operating conditions.

Fitting

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.
Do not alter or remove any functional parts.
▶
Do not attach any additional components. The
▶
torsion springs are precisely matched to the door leaf
weight. Additional components may overload the
springs.
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
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.
To ensure simple and secure fitting, please follow
▶
the work steps listed in the illustrated section .

3 .1
Danger of injury due to high torques
Springs are under high torque stress and may discharge
high forces if they are not secured during tensioning.
Fix the door leaf to prevent movement before
▶

tensioning the springs.

The number of tensioning revolutions specified on the type
plate is an approximate value only.
When the springs are tensioned correctly, the moving door
– 40 °C to + 60 °C
leaf has a slight tendency to pull upwards.
– 20 °C to + 60 °C
Each time the door is serviced, the tension of the
▶
20 % to 90 %
springs should be checked and, if necessary,
subsequently re-adjusted.
Before putting the door into operation for the first
▶
time, inspect the door according to the chapter
Inspection and Maintenance!

4 .1
Danger of injury during door travel
The sectional door closes to the bottom vertically;
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 sectional door is competently fitted and
inspected, it can be easily moved and operated.
4 .1 .1
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
The automation of a sectional door requires that special
safety regulations be observed. Consult your supplier.
4 .2
The door is not locked when closed with the grip handle.
This is done by using the key or locking lever on the lock.
