Work Area Preparation
Cleaning, Lubrication, Inspection, Adjustment, & Operation
Test activation method to open door on each side
Check open and close limit; adjust if necessary
Check condition of safety labels
Visually inspect hardware; tighten where necessary
Visually inspect anchoring; tighten where necessary
Visually inspect the controller, cabling and conduit
Check the position of the door panel and visually inspect the panel and seals. With the door in the fully closed position, check the distance between the door panel and the backing board for the bulb seals on both sides of the door. The correct distance is 2-1/4"; there should be a 1/4" compression on the bulb seal.
Check the door panels are level: With the door fully closed and locked out, remove the two bottom seals on the panels from their Velcro holder. Measuring 6” in from both sides, the panels at the center should be ½” above the concrete and the outer edges should be ¾” (measured 6” in from the end) above the concrete. Adjust any of the trolley yoke heights if needed.
Clean the door panels and bulb seals
Visually inspect the drive chain, idlers, release assembly and tensioners
Visually inspect and test the chain release system
Visually inspect the door track and trolley assemblies; tighten hardware where necessary
Lubricate: Apply sparingly to not drip onto the door panel. Wipe lightly with a clean, lint free cloth when done to remove excess oil.
Inspect the electromagnetic brake: Observe the door at the ends of its run to the open and close limit. The door should come to a full stop at precisely the locations set by the limit parameters. You should hear the brake engage with a loud clang when the door stops. You should not be able to move the door manually when it is stopped. If the door drifts past the open or close limits, or the door isn’t held securely when the door is stopped, the brake should be reset.
Inspect the warming system: Turn off door power and lock out. Follow the heat tape to the junction box for the warming system and open the box. Make sure that the wires inside the box are not crimped, looped, or damaged, and are correctly seated in their terminals. Make sure the cables have been shrink wrapped. Visually inspect as much of the heat trace as you can see between the bulb seals and the junction box. Make sure it is not pinched, looped, or crimped, and that there are no visible signs of damage.
Check for light leaks
Check the LED lights in the front and rear transmitters and receivers. Transmitter: green light indicates it is operational. Receiver: yellow light indicates it is correctly aligned with the transmitter.
While the door is closing, break the beam on each set of photo eyes. Door should stop, reverse, and stay open as long as the obstruction remains in place. Door should only close when the obstruction is removed.
Remove the top plug of the motor gearbox with a 6mm hex key. If some oil leaks out, the fluid level is correct. If oil level is low, top off with Mobil SHC 630.
