ASSEMBLY STEP 3
Tighten the Chain
• Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the
threaded shaft, away from the trolley.
• To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction
shown. As you turn the nut, keep the chain from
twisting.
• When the chain is approximately 1/2" above the
base of the T-rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner
nut to secure the adjustment.
Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too
loose or too tight.
When installation is complete, you may notice 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 adjusting chain.
