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 kilted.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of
balance, call for professional garage door
service. Garage doors, door springs, cables,
pulleys, bmckets 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.

instailing 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.
Before you begin, survey your garage area to
see whether any of the conditions below apply
to your Installation.

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
nof 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 ioosen, move or
adjust them yourself. Serious personal injury
or death couid result. Call for professional
garage door service.
• Open your door to the highest
point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wetil 2” ^K>ve
the high point. This height will
provide travel clearance for the
top edge of the door.
Door clearance brackets are
available for section^ doors
when headroom clearance is
less than 2*. See accessory
