door
The door is opened by moving the door panel
upwards (see chapter 4). On both sides of
the door panel are guide rails for the door. A
drive shaft with balance springs and cable
drums are located above the door. The door
panel is suspended from steel cables. When
opening the door these steel cables are
wrapped around the cable drums. The
balance springs ensure that the door panel
can be stopped in any desired position. The
balance springs reach their maximum tensi-
on when the door is closed.
Never dismantle cables, cable drums or
balance springs! This must only be done
by qualified engineers (authorised
person according to EN 12635).
