Help with a big roller shutter

<< < (2/3) > >>

hermetic:
on the tubular motor type of roller shutter door, the limit switches are inside the square shaped end of the motor, which is accesible at the end of the roll of panels, there is usually two blue plastic allen sockets visible, one for top limit and one for bottom. Unfortunately I cannot think of any scenario where they could move out of adjustment without the mechanism stripping its tiny nylon gears!, if it is that type, new motor time! I have three of this type of door.

Will_D:
So it is at least lowered. Rather than pulling down on the manual eye bolt thingy [thanks Andrew] you have to push it in and then rotate the handle to lower. Of course as the handle is too short and even though  I am 6' 3" tall it helps to stand on a chair as it is soo easy to disengage manual control.

It need the help and tlc from some cash motivated/driven experts to fix said roller. 

I am afraid to say we need some help!

hermetic:
can you see the motor, or is it inside the box that the shutter rolls into? pics? search tube motor on google images. it sounds from your description of the manual winding mechanism that it is a tube motor.

Will_D:
Its an internal tube motor.

There are two small plastic wheels that I think adjust the limits.

However a supplier (and me) cannot explain how the limits have moved!

Anyone know which wheel is which and how to set the limits?

I am awaiting a quote for new internals (motor and limits etc)

Thanks for the help so far

Will

Muzzerboy:
Presumably you now know the make and model, if you have a quote on the way. Can you not find the installation / user instructions online?

It's not like mine, so clearly a different make.
