Position the drawbar operator bracket arm inside the top portion of the top half of drawbar
operator bracket and flush against the back of the top half of drawbar operator bracket.
Adjust the top holes in the drawbar operator bracket arm with the two upper holes in the top
half of drawbar operator bracket.
Fasten both the drawbar operator bracket arm and the top half of drawbar operator bracket
together using (2) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.
Slide the bottom half of drawbar operator bracket inside the top half of drawbar operator
bracket. Adjust the both the top and bottom halves of drawbar operator brackets out against
the top and bottom rib of the top section. Loosely fasten both the top and bottom halves of
drawbar operator brackets together using (4) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (4) 1/4”-20
flange hex nuts.
NOTE: Install the 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and the 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts as far apart
as possible, when positioning both the top and bottom halves of drawbar operator brackets
together.
NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket assembly must be aligned with
an existing drawbar operator.
Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar op-
erator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket
assembly vertically.
First, secure the back of the drawbar operator bracket assembly to the top section inside
surface using (2) 1/4”-20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Next, secure the drawbar operator
bracket assembly to the top and bottom ribs of the top section using (8) 1/4”-20 x 11/16”
self drilling screws. Now, tighten all previously installed 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and
1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.
Secure the drawbar operator bracket assembly to the top section using (1) quadrex pan head
screw.
NOTE: If you have 7’0” door height and your door width is less than or equal to 16’0”, use (1)
#8 x 1 21/32” quadrex pan head screw.
NOTE: If you have 7’0” door height and your door width is greater than 16’0”, use (1) #8 x 1
13/32” quadrex pan head screw.
