{"product_id":"liftmaster-ma031","title":"LiftMaster MA031 Padded Barrier-Arm Adapter Collars — Two-Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe LiftMaster MA031 is the two-collar adapter set specified for documented padded barrier-arm options in the Mega Arm family. The manufacturer lists MA031 as required for the MA025 12-foot padded arm and MA028 14-foot padded arm, so these collars are part of selecting the correct attachment arrangement rather than an optional substitute for arbitrary mounting hardware. Confirm the exact operator, arm option and bracket before ordering. This package provides adapter collars; the padded arm, foam cover and complete arm bracket are separate items.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel or selection point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility requirement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA025 padded-arm option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer accessory table specifies MA031.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA028 padded-arm option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer accessory table also specifies MA031.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOther arm sizes or profiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo universal adapter fit established.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard unpadded arms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse their own documented attachment arrangement.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA036 shaft collar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent component and function; do not substitute by the word collar.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMatch the Arm Option to Its Required Attachment Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA barrier arm should be selected as a complete approved arrangement, including the operator configuration, bracket and required attachment pieces. These adapter collars address the documented padded-arm mounting requirement. They do not establish that an arm of any length or weight can be fitted to any barrier operator, and the foam padding does not eliminate the hazards of a moving arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen replacing an existing padded arm, inspect the bracket and attachment area for damage before reusing parts. A vehicle strike can affect more than the visible padding or tube. Have the technician compare the current installation with the applicable arm instructions, support the arm during service and confirm the required adjustment after reassembly. Do not improvise spacers or alter the attachment simply because a different arm appears to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications and Product Identification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA031\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePadded-arm adapter collars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo collars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDocumented arm option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA025: 12 ft × 4 in. padded arm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional documented option\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMA028: 14 ft × 4 in. padded arm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelection basis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproved operator, padded arm and bracket arrangement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore Ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the operator and exact padded-arm model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm MA031 in the approved arm attachment instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the bracket and surrounding hardware for impact damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm whether collars alone or additional arm components are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents and Separate Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer identifies two adapter collars in the MA031 package.
