Attachment Procedure
Preparation
You will need Safety Glasses, Phillips Screwdriver, Adjustable wrench (x2).
These instructions replace the section of your owner’s manual entitled “Rail Assembly
for BELT DRIVE OPENER” on page 10.
1. Remove the original belt from
the Head Rail section.
2. Open the Bullet by removing the 3 screws
holding the Bullet Cap to the bullet.
3. Remove the belt from the bullet and set the bullet, bullet cap and screws aside. Throw away the belt.
4a. Align the rail sections on a at surface as shown with the Sprocket Housing (Powerhead End)
to your right and the Pulley (Door End) end to your left. Slide the carriage onto the
center rail section if not already there.
4b. Open the Rail Extension Kit and place the Rail Extension section
between the center rail section and the pulley end rail section.
4c. Place a rail clamp (there are 3 including the one
in the rail extension kit) at each joint
between rail sections. Align holes with those
in the rail. Add the bolts and nuts supplied*,
but tighten just snug.
4d. Ensure the rails are aligned and fully tighten
the bolts & nuts.
5. Place the bullet next to the rail so that it lies between the carriage and the Belt Guide. With the Sprocket Housing on
your right, the bullet MUST be on the opposite side of the rail from you.
Starting at the pulley—feed the belt past the pulley on the side with the bullet, through the carriage and stopping at
the bullet.
Feed the opposite end of the belt past the pulley, through the carriage, through the belt guide, around the sprocket,
and then, back through the belt guide stopping at the bullet.
BE SURE THERE ARE NO TWISTS IN THE BELT.
6. Place each end of the belt into the bullet. Replace the bullet cap and fasten using the 3 screws.
