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.

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

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of severe injuryor 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 mlnlmum 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 compleUon 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 servlclng an opener. Jewelry or

• loose clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the opener.

Installation Step I

Determine Header Bracket Location

Installation procedures vary according to
garage door types. Follow the instructions
which apply to your door.

Verlical

-- Header --

Wal

Guideline

2X4

Structural

WARN

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. Call for professional

garage door service.

• Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centedine of the garage door.

• Extend the line 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 onlyif
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 minimal. (It may
be mounted on the wall upside down

if necessary, to gain approximately

1/2".)

Ifyou need to install the header bracket
on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag

screws (not provided) tosecurely 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 will

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.
