Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING
An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when
required and someone under the door could be seriously
injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call
for professional garage door service. Garage doors, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, and their hardware are
under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or
death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust them
yourself!
Ropes left on a garage door could cause someone to
become entangled and killed. Remove all ropes
connected to the door before installing and operating the
opener.
Identify the type and height of your door, any special
conditions that exist, and any additional materials that
may be required.
Test Your Door for Balance
Before you begin, complete the following test to make
sure your door is balanced, and is not sticking or
binding:
• Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door.
It should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or
sticking.
Sectional

SECTIONAL DOOR
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the garage door and opener, disable
locks before installing and operating the opener. Use a
wood screw or nail to hold locks in the "open" (unlocked)
position.
Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause opener
malfunction and damage.

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following warnings
before proceeding to the installation section:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. Install only on a properly balanced and lubricated garage door. An improperly balanced door may not
reverse and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other
hardware must be made by a professional service person before installing opener.
3. Disable all locks and remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener. Ropes
connected to a garage door can cause entanglement and death.
4. If possible, install door opener 7 feet or more above floor with the manual release handle mounted 6
feet above the floor.
5. Do not connect the opener to power source until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the Door Control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small children
cannot reach and away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the User Safety Instruction Label on the wall adjacent to the control button and the
Maintenance Instruction Label in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.
8. Upon completion of the installation, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a one-inch
high object or a 2x4 laid flat on the floor.
9. Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing an opener. Jewelry or loose
clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the opener.
7
• Open your door to the highest point
of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header
wall 3" above the high point. This
height will provide travel clearance
for the top edge of the door.
8
Proceed to Step 2, page 10.
SECTIONAL Door or
ONE PIECE Door with Track
• Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centerline of the garage door.
• Extend the line onto the header wall
above the door.
Remember, you can fasten the header
bracket within 2 feet of the left or right
of the door center only if a torsion
spring or center bearing plate is in the
way; or you can attach it to the ceiling
(refer to page 10) when clearance is
minimal. (It may be mounted on the
wall upside down if necessary, to gain
approximately 1/2".)
If you need to install the header bracket on
a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws
(not supplied) to securely fasten the 2x4 to
structural supports as shown here and on
page 9.
Installation Section: Pages 8 – 23

One-piece door

Installation Step 1
Determine Header Bracket Location
Installation procedures vary according to garage
door types. Follow the instructions which apply to
your door.
If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a
structural support on the header wall or ceiling, the
safety reverse system may not work properly (see page
26). The door might not reverse when required, and
could cause serious injury or death.
The garage door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and
their hardware are under extreme tension. Do not attempt
to loosen, move or adjust them yourself. Serious
personal injury or death could result. Call for
professional garage door service.

Read the Safety Instructions on page 8. They also apply to doors without tracks.
• Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centerline of your garage
door. Extend the line onto the
header wall above door.
If headroom clearance is minimal,
you can install the header bracket
on the ceiling. See page 10.
• If you need to install the header
bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or
ceiling), use lag screws (not
supplied) to securely fasten the 2x4
to structural supports as shown.

• Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Measure the distance from the top of the door to the
floor. Subtract the actual height of the door. Add 8" to
the remainder. (See Example).
• Close the door and draw an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wall at the determined height.
If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible, or refer to page 10 for ceiling installation.

You can attach the header bracket either to the wall
above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the
instructions which will work best for your particular
requirements.
Fastening the Header Bracket to the Wall
• Center the bracket on the vertical guideline with the
bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as
shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
• Mark either set of bracket holes (do not use the holes
designated for ceiling mount). Drill 3/16" pilot holes
and fasten the bracket securely to a structural support
with the hardware provided.
• Extend the vertical guideline onto the ceiling as shown.
• Center the bracket on the vertical mark, no more than 6"
from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing toward
the wall. The bracket can be mounted flush against the
ceiling when clearance is minimal.
• Mark holes designated for ceiling mount only. Drill
3/16" pilot holes and fasten bracket securely to a
structural support with the hardware provided.

If the door spring is in the way you’ll need help. Have
someone hold the opener securely on a temporary
support to allow the rail to clear the spring.
• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
• Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as
shown.
• Insert a ring fastener to secure.
