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 carefuiiy.
^CAUTION
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.
You'll Need Tools
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools shown below.
A. CAUTION
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 and any
special conditions that exist and any additional
materials that may be required by referring to the lists
on page 4 or page 5.
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.
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.
âECÎlONAt Door instaliaâon
Before you begin, survey your garage area to
see whether any of the conditions beiow apply
to your instailation.
Horizontal and vertical reintorcement
is needed for lightwelghi garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door
with glass panels, etc.).
See page 24 for details.
FINISHED CEILING
Support bracket &
fastening hardware
is required.
Seepage 17.
Safety Reversing Sensor
Based on your particular requirements, there are
several installation steps which might call for
materials and/or hardware not included in the carton.
• Step 1, page 12 - Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket mustbe
securely fastened to structural supports.
• Step 5, page 17 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.
• Safety reversing sensor, page 21 - Depending
upon garage construction, wood blocks may need
to be fastened to mounting locations before
sensors are installed.
• Step 10, page 22 - Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Step 11, page 24 - Do you have a steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal
and vertical reinforcement is required.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.
It must close on the floor all the way across.
Otherwise, the safety reverse system may not
work properly. See page 30. Floor or door should
be repaired.
• If your door is more than 7 feet high, see the rail

Fasten the T-raU 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! tKxvi 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 troiiey and this
screw when adjusting travei limits (see page 28).
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.
To fasten rail, use only those screws mounted
in the top of the opener. Any other screws wiii

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following
warnings before proceeding to the installation section:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
^WARHNWtS
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 emergency 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 door control 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
Determine Header Bracket Location
Installation procedures vary according to
garage door types. Follow the instructions
which appiy to your door.
SëCTiONAt. Door and
OKE-PieCE DornVm Tr&ok
Rnished
Celling
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 persona! injury
or death could result, Cali for professional
garage door service.
• Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centerline of the garage door.
• Extend the tine 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 onlyW
a torsion spring or center bearing
plate is in the way; or you can attach
it to the ceiling (refer to page 14)
when clearance is minimai. (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 provided) to securely fasten
the 2x4 to structural supports as shown
here and on page 13.
• Open your door to the highest
point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wall 2“ above
the high point. This height wiil
provide travel clearance for the
top edge of the door.
Door clearance brackets are
available for sectional doors
when headroom clearance is
less than 2". See accessory
page 38.
