When you see this Safety Symbol on the following pages, it will alert you to the possibility of damage to your garage door and/or the garage door opener if you do not comply with the corresponding instructions. Read the instructions carefully.
This garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed, operated, maintained and tested in strict accordance with the safety instructions contained in this manual.

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.

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:
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.

Installation Step 1
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
SECTIONAL Door or
ONE PIECE Door with Track
WARNING
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.

Guideline
•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 4 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.
• 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.

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.

Installation Step 2
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.
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 Ceiling
•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.

Installation Step 3
•Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base.
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.
