GENERAL NOTES:
• The terms “door” and “doors”
apply generally to Service Doors, Counter Service Doors
and Grilles. If an instruction refers to a specific
type, it will be noted as such.
OPERATION
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! – A moving door can
cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Keep clear of the doorway while the door is moving.
• Operate the door only when the doorway is in
sight and clear of people and obstructions.
• Do not permit children to play on, near, or
with the door, or operate door controls.
NOTE:
If the door is provided with a locking device, make
sure locks are disengaged before opening the door.
• Slide lock at each end of the bottom bar: Slide
the bent locking bar away from the door guide until
it is retracted and clear of the door guide.
• Cylinder or thumb turn and L-handle near the
center of the bottom bar (typical on counter service
doors and grilles): Insert the key and rotate it or
rotate the thumb turn until the spring activated L-handle
returns to the unlocked position and the locking bar
is retracted and clear of the door guides.
NOTE:
Depending on the size and type of door, and the method
of operation, it is not unusual for the door curtain
to feel “heavier” as it travels from nearly
closed to nearly open, and to “spring up”
near the closed and open positions.
Push-up
operated door: Lift the door curtain to open
– pull down the door curtain to close.
There may be lifting handles or recessed lifts on the
bottom bar to aid in the process. The bottom bar may
want to raise up from the sill when the door is closed
and it may be necessary to hold the bottom bar down
while engaging the locks (when provided).
Chain hoist operated door: Pull the
hand chain to open – pull the opposite side of
the hand chain to close.
Use a hand-over-hand motion when pulling on the hand
chain to open. Use one hand to pull the hand chain and
the other hand to guide the opposite side of the chain
while closing. Exercise caution when pulling on the
hand chain and maintain control of it. When the hand
chain is not being used, it should be inserted in the
chain
keeper adjacent to the door guide. The chain keeper
may be padlocked.
Crank operated door: Insert the crank
handle onto the crank gear box. Turn the crank handle
to open – turn the crank handle the opposite direction
to close.
Use one hand to hold the crank handle and the other
hand to turn it. Exercise caution when turning the crank
handle and maintain control of it. When the crank handle
is not being used, it should be removed from the crank
gear box and stored in a safe and secure location.
OPERATION
& MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE
DOORS, COUNTER SERVICE DOORS & GRILLES
WARNING! – Components under extreme
spring tension can cause
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Adjustments and repairs must
be made by a qualified door mechanic using proper tools
and instructions.
Motor
operated door: Activate the “OPEN” or “UP”
control to open – activate the “CLOSE”
or “DOWN” control to close. Use the “STOP”
control to stop travel of the door curtain between the
open and closed positions.
(Push the button or insert and turn the key to move
the door curtain in the direction indicated.)
NOTES:
1) Most push-button control stations
and key stations include a “STOP” button.
If not, the control station should be wired to require
maintained pressure on the “OPEN” and “CLOSE”
control for the door curtain to move. Letting go of
the button or key will stop the travel of the door curtain
between the open and closed positions.
2) Per the requirements of UL Standard
325, a door (motor) operator must be provided with an
actuating device (push-button control station, key station,
etc.) requiring constant pressure to close the door.
As an alternative, the door may be provided with a device
that will reverse the door upon contact with an obstruction
during closing.
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! – Components under extreme
spring tension can cause
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Adjustments and repairs must
be made by a qualified door mechanic using proper tools
and instructions.
Lubrication:
Bearings are grease-packed and sealed, requiring no
further maintenance. Guides do not require lubrication,
but may be coated with a light lubricant (such as “Slip-it”)
to reduce friction and noise. Some operating systems
utilize roller chain and sprockets, which periodically
may require a light lubricant. Other components should
not normally require lubrication.
The
use of heavy oil or grease as a lubricant is not recommended
because they are likely to attract dirt and
debris that can result in a build-up, and potentially
worsen the condition lubrication was supposed to resolve.
Inspection:
The necessity for inspections varies greatly depending
upon factors such as a door’s age, exposure to
environmental conditions, and frequency of usage. Newer
doors operated only once or twice daily generally justify
much less frequent inspection than older doors in higher
cycle usage applications. Periodically, all doors should
be inspected for loose bolts and screws, misaligned
or loose drive components, damaged or missing parts,
to check the function of auxiliary safety devices and
other equipment, etc. Any defective conditions that
are found must be corrected.
Adjustments
and repairs: If adjustments and repairs become necessary,
they must be made by a qualified door mechanic using
proper tools and instructions.
Replacement
Parts: Most replacement parts are available
from Kim’s Roll-Up Doors, Inc. and often available
from stock.
NOTE:
If excessive wear or damage to any component(s) is detected,
a qualified door mechanic must evaluate the condition
and perform all necessary adjustments and repairs.
