Garador Garamatic 9 Series 3 - issue.

Hi.

This is this type of door opener:

The actual motor runs fine, and responds to the remote. However, the belt doesn't engage with the presumably-toothed pawl in the mechanism in the boom.

I've switched repeatedly from the locked to unlocked position, which it does smoothly. When 'engaged', I can hear - just - the sound of a belt not quite engaging - a rapid tititititititit. Unlocked, there is no sound.

Anyone know how to dismantle this part to check it? Ta.

    Is the 'delatching kit' what's required?

    If so, it's bonkers money. Which of these parts actually engage with the belt? Ta.
