There are two types of garage door openers pictured. Yours may appear slightly different.
Before you begin:
• Disable locks (contact your door manufacturer for
information on disabling your door locks.)
• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
• Complete the following test to make sure your garage
door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.
If you have a one-piece door, the installation of your
garage door opener will be different. Follow the assembly
instructions included in this manual then proceed to the
Installation Instructions For One-Piece Doors included with
the garage door opener.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating
the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid
malfunction and damage.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door
binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage
door may not reverse when required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of
which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to
garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage door
opener to avoid entanglement.

PLANNING
Identify the type and height of your garage door. If you
have a one-piece door, follow the assembly
instructions contained in this manual and refer to the
Installation Instructions One-Piece Door for
installation procedures. Survey your garage area to see
if any of the conditions below apply to your installation.
Additional materials may be required. You may find it
helpful to refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your
opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or hardware
not included in the carton.
• Installation Page 10 – Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Page 12 – Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Page 13 – Do you have a steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and
vertical reinforcement is required.
• Installation Page 18 – Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be
needed to install sensors.
• Installation Page 18 – Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 7702CB Outside Quick Release is
required. See Accessories page.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any
gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must
not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal
system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3.
Floor or door should be repaired.
• The opener should be installed above the center of the
door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate
in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door
center.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page 32.
Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage door.
• The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor
MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate
the gap.
