Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley
threaded shaft, away from the trolley.
To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction

the base of the rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner
nut to secure the adjustment.

or too tight.

some chain droop with the door closed. This is normal. If
the chain returns to the position shown when the door is
open, do not re-adjust the chain.
NOTE: During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the
emergency release handle to disconnect trolley before
