Planning
Identifythe type and height of yourgarage door.
Survey yourgarage area to see if any of the
conditionsbelow apply to your installation.Additional
materialsmay be required.You may find ithelpful to
refer backto thispage and the accompanying
illustrationsas you proceedwith the installationof
your opener.
Dependingon your requirements,there are several
installationstepswhichmay call for materialsor
hardware not includedin the carton.
• InstallationStep 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling
above the garage door.The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structuralsupports.
• InstallationStep 5 - Do you have a finished ceiling
in yourgarage? If so, a supportbracketand
additionalfastening hardware may be required.
• InstallationStep 10- Depending upongarage
construction,extensionbrackets or woodblocks
may be needed to installsensors.
• InstallationStep 10 -Alternate floor mountingof
the safety reversingsensor willrequire hardware
not provided.
Do you have an access door in additionto the
garage door? If not, Model 53702 Emergency Key
Release is required.See Acoessodes page.
Lookat the garage door where itmeets the floor.
Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the
door must notexceed 1/4". Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may notwork properly.See
AdjustmentStep 3. Flooror door shouldbe
repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass
panel door? Ifso, horizontaland vertical reinforce-
ment is required (InstallationStep tl).
• The opener shouldbe installed above the center of
the door. If there isa torsionspdng or center
beadng plate in the way of the header bracket,it
may be installedwithin4 feet to the left or rightof
the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
• Ifyour door is more than 7 feet high, see rail

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.
The frontrail 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" away is close to the rail edge.
Rotate the back rail so it has a similarhole close to
the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" from the far end.A
3-piece rail uses two back rails.
1. Remove the straightdoor arm, hangingbrackets
and clevispin packaged inside the front rail and
set aside for InstallationStep 5 and 12.
2. Align the railsections on a flat surfaceexactly as
shownand slidethe tapered ends intothe larger
ones. Tabs along the side willlock into place.
3. Placethe motoruniton packing material to protect
the cover, and rest the back end of the railon top.
Forconvenience, put a supportunderthe front
end of the rail.

Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your
door.
SECTIONAL DOOR AND ONE-PIECE DOOR
WITH TRACK
1.Close the door and mark the insidevertical
centerlineof the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the
door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
of the left or right of the door center only If a
torsion spdng or center bearing plate is in the
way; or you can attach It to the ceiling (see
page 14) when clearance is minimal. (It may be
mounted on the wall upside down if necessary,
to gain approximately 1/2".)
If you need to installthe header bracketon a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structuralsupportsas
shown here and on page 13.
3.Open your door to the highest pointof travel as
shown. Draw an intersectinghorizontal lineon the
header wall 2" above the high point.This heightwill
providetravel clearance for the top edge of the
door.
NOTE: Door clearance brackets are availablefor
sectionaldoors when headroom clearance is less
than 2". See accessory page 39.
