Identify the type and height of your garage door. 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 Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above the
garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to
structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in your
garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening
hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage construction,
extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install
sensors.
• Installation Step 10 – 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 53702 Emergency Key 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.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce ment is required
(Installation Step 11).

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door
opener until instructed to do so.
To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers
away from the joints while assembling the rail.
The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end (see
illustration). The hole above this window is larger on the top of
the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away
is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar
hole close to the
opposite
edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the
far end.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged
inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 12.
NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully
remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the
tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along the side will lock
into place.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover,
and rest the back end of the rail on top. For convenience, put a
support under the front end of the rail.
4. As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole
10" (25 cm) from the front end of the rail, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner
trolley. If they became loose during shipping, check all packing
material. Snap them back into position as shown.
6. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back end to
the screwdriver.

Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural
support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door
might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header
bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket
or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of which
are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door might not reverse when required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types.
Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the
garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of
the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or
center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the
ceiling (see page 13) when clearance is minimal. (It may be
mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain
approximately 1/2" (1 cm).)
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.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw
an inter secting horizontal line on the header wall above the
high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without
track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of
the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or
refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION STEP 5
Hang the Opener
Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be
different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure 1) to provide
rigid support. On finished ceilings (Figure 2 and Figure 3), attach
a sturdy metal bracket to structural supports before installing the
opener. This bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor unit to the
structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-18x1-7/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the door (or in line
with the header bracket if the bracket is not centered above the
door).
7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the door hits
the rail, raise the header bracket.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this time.
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage door
opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural supports of the
garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used if installing any
brackets into masonry.

a single gang box (Figure 2).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell wire and
connect to the two screw terminals on back of door control by
color: white wire to 2 and white/red wire to the 1.
2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in top of the cover with
a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude above
wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and slide
down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3. (For standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to secure
wire in several places. DO NOT pierce wire with a staple,
creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as follows:
white to white and white/red to red.
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the opener,
twist same color wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
5. Position the antenna wire as shown.
6. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment warning
label to wall near door control, and manual release/safety
reverse test label in a prominent location on inside of garage
door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate opener at this time.
The trolley will travel to the full open position but will not return
to the close position until the sensor beam is connected and
properly aligned.
DO NOT overtighten.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door
control.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach
of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) and away
from ALL moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control
push buttons or remote controls.

• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket. Light
bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. The lights will
turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when
power is connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short neck or
speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel or light socket.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or light
socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY incandescent.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 100W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.
INSTALLATION STEP 8
Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top of the
red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as shown. Secure
with an overhand knot at least 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the
rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in the
release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m) above the
floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear the tops of all
vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with
a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.

Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this
time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has
a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will
only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fit into the
outlet you have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.
RIGHT WRONG
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the
following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in the top
of the motor unit:
• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver
terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The
opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this
time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and
disconnect power 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 to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is
grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned
correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down
direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an
obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with
an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the
receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction
breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop
and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash
10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending
and receiving eyes face each other across the door, no more than
6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or
right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of
sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
®
Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener
BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage
door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This
required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets
must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall
framing. Extension brackets (see Accessories) are available if
needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood
at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if
repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of
the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align
the brackets so the sensors will face each other across the garage
door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.
They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each door track,
with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into place against
the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the
back edge of the track, as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely, wall
installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3):
• Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms facing the
door. Be sure there is enough clearance for the sensor beam to
be unobstructed.
• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket
(see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill
(2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at each side of the
door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and
left assemblies to the same distance out from the mounting
surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see Accessories) to
elevate sensor brackets so the lenses will be no higher than
6" (15 cm) above the floor.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies at the
same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Be sure the
lens is not obstructed by a bracket extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use insulated
staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.
• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to
the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like colored wires
together. Insert wires into quick-connect holes: white to white
and white/black to grey (Figure 6).
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the sending and
receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring connections and
alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless of
alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the
receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam
path is not obstructed), alignment is required.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming directly
at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it
receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light
glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.
Figure 5MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after
installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can occur at
staples, or at opener connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or misaligned
while the door is closing, the door will reverse. If the door is
already open, it will not close. The opener lights will blink 10
times. See page 20.

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be
secured to two vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace
should cover the height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal
brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces of angle iron are used to
create a U-shaped support (Figure 1). The best solution is to
check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener
installation door reinforcement kit.
NOTE:
Many vertical brace installations provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will
not need the door bracket; proceed to Installation Step 12.
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL
REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket.
Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
