WARNING

CAUTION

You'll Need Tools

During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools shown below.

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.

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.

Identify the type and height of your door and any special conditions that exist and any additional materials that may be required.

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.

Make sure bolt necks are seated in the square holes and rails are aligned before you tighten lock nuts. (See right and wrong views). Improper assembly can cause jerky trolley operation, noise and/or nuisance door reversals.

T o avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

Assembly Section: Pages 8 – 1 1

When tightening the screws, be sure to keep bracket parallel to the rail. Otherwise, the rail may bow when the opener is operated.

Right

Wrong

• Align the 4 T-rail sections on a flat surface exactly as shown. Center sections are interchangeable. Front and back sections are also interchangeable for ease of assembly.

• Insert the carriage bolts so the square bolt necks seat in the square holes in the T-rail sections and pass through the round holes in the rail braces. Assemble lock nuts, ensure alignment and tighten.

If T-rail is not assembled exactly as shown, trolley will not travel smoothly along length of rail or it will hit against nuts.

• Position the belt pulley bracket on the front end of the T-rail as shown. Fasten securely with the hardware shown.

Install the Trolley on the T-rail

• As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole in the front end of the T-rail.

• Slide the trolley assembly along the rail to the screwdriver stop.

If trolley hits against any nuts on the T-rail, the bolts and nuts were attached from the wrong side and must be repositioned. Review Step 1.

• Insert a 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screw into the trolley

stop hole in the T-rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 5/16" lock washer and nut. This screw limits trolley travel in the DOWN direction.

Faster the T-rail to the Opener

• Place the opener on packing material to protect

the cover. For convenience, put a support under the belt pulley bracket.

• Remove the (2) 5/16"-18x1/2" washered screws mounted in the top of the opener.

• Align the holes in the back section of the T-rail with the holes in the opener.

• Fasten the rail with the (2) washered screws previously removed. Tighten securely.

Remember to use only these screws!

Any other

screws will cause serious damage to the opener.

• Insert a 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screw into the cover protection bolt hole in the T-rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 5/16" lock washer and nut.

NOTE: This screw prevents trolley over-travel. Keep a 2" minimum between the trolley and this screw when adjusting travel limits (see page 28).

Assembly Step 4

Install the Belt & Set the Belt Tension

Serious injury can result if fingers become entangled in moving opener sprocket. Attach belt cap retainer securely. Never operate opener while your hand is near the opener sprocket.

• Drop the notched side of the trolley clip into the

retaining slot on top of the trolley (see Figure 1).

• Grasp the clip connector at the end

of the belt and slip it through the belt pulley bracket from behind, around the pulley and toward the trolley.

• Fasten the belt clip connector to the

trolley clip with a master link: a. Push pins of master link bar through

holes in trolley clip and belt clip connector.

b. Push master link cap over pins

and past pin notches.

c. Slide clip-on spring over cap and

onto pin notches until both pins are securely locked in place.

• With the trolley against the screwdriver,

dispense the belt along the rail and around the opener sprocket. The sprocket teeth must engage the belt (Figure 2).

• Use the second master link to connect the belt to

the flat end of the trolley threaded shaft (Figure 1).

Check to make sure the belt is not twisted.

• Remove the screwdriver.

IMPORTANT INSTALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INST ALLATION 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.

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following warnings before proceeding to the installation section:

To attach the belt cap retainer:

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 30).

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.
