Fiberglass,aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILLREQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE
installation of door bracket.Contactyour door manufacturer for reinforcementkit.
Figure 1 showsone piece of angle iron as the horizontal
brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces ofangle iron are
used tocreate a U-shaped support. The best solution is to
checkwithyour garage door manufacturer for an opener
installation door reinforcementkit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcementkitsprovide for direct
attachment of the clevispin and door arm. In this case you
will not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.
8.1 Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation.Note correct UP placement,as stamped inside the bracket.
8.2 Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR directlybelow
any structural supportacrossthe top of the door.
8.3 Mark,drill holes and install as follows,depending on your door’s construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle ironbrace between the door panel support and
the door bracket:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the twoself threading screws (H10).
(Figure 2)
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts,lockwashers and nuts(not provided). (Figure 3)
Metal,insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws (H10).
(Figure 4)
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8"self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.
Wood Doors:
• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracketholes.Drill 5/16” holes through the door and
secure bracketwith 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 5)
A horizontal andvertical reinforcement is
needed for lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, aluminum, steel,doors with glass
panel,etc.) (not provided).
A horizontal reinforcement brace shouldbe
long enoughto be secured to two or three
vertical supports. A verticalreinforcement
brace shouldcover the height of the toppanel.

Be sure power isNOT connected to the garage
door opener BEFORE installing the safety
reversing sensor.
To preventSERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom
closing garage door:
• Correctlyconnectand align the safety
reversing sensor.Thisrequired safety
device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safetyreversing sensor so beam
is NO HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above
garage floor.
IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connectedand aligned correctly before the garage dooropenerwillmove in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmitsan invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (witha green LED). Ifan obstruction breaks the light
beam while the door is closing,the door will stop and reverse tothe full open position,and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door
opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn
off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the
garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safetyreversing sensors checkthe following:
• Sensorsare installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
• Sensorsare facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight.
• Sensorsare no more than 6 inches(15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.

To preventpossible SERIOUSINJURY or
DEATHfrom electrocution or fire:
• Be sure power is NOT connected to the
opener, and disconnectpower to circuit
BEFORE removing cover to establish
permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST
be in compliance with ALL local electrical
and building codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire
adapter, or change plug in any way tomake
it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
To avoid installation difficulties,do not activate the garage dooropenerat this time.
To reduce the risk of electricshock,your garage door opener has a grounding typeplug with a third
grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet.Ifthe plug doesn’t fit intoyour outlet,
contacta qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTIONPOWER:
OPTION A
TYPICAL WIRING
1.1A Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet.
1.2A DO NOTrun garage door opener at thistime.
OPTION B
Ifpermanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connectionthrough the 7/8" hole in the top of the motor unit(according to local
code):
PERMANENT WIRING
1.1BBe sure power isNOT connected to the opener,and disconnect power to circuit.

program the traveland cannot be changed.
PROGRAMMING BUTTONS
To preventdamage to vehicles,be sure fully
open door provides adequate clearance.
TIP: If anything interferes with the door’s
upward travel it will stop. If anything interferes with
the door’s downward travel, it will reverse.
The programming buttonsare located on the

Without a properly installed safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly small children) could
be SERIOUSLY INJUREDor KILLED by a closing
garage door.
2.1 With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2
inch (3.8 cm) board (or a 2x4 laid flat)on
the floor, centered under the garage
door.

opener carton in the path of the door.
2.2 Press the remote control push button to
close the door. The door MUSTreverse
when itmakes contactwith the board.
3.2 Press the remote control push button to
close the door. The door will not move
more than an inch (2.5 cm),and the
garage door opener lights will flash 10
times.
Ifthe door stops and does not reverse on

adjusted (refer to AdjustmentStep 1).
Repeat the test.When the door reverses
upon contactwiththe 1-1/2 inch board,
remove the board and open/closethe
door 3 or 4 timesto testthe adjustment.
Ifthe test continues to fail, call a trained
door systemstechnician.
The garage door opener will not close
froma remote controlif the LED in either
