Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
• Disable locks.
• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
• Complete the following test to make sure your garage door is
balanced and is not sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. If
balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its
springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or
sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained door
systems technician.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door may NOT reverse when required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of
which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to
garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage door
opener to avoid entanglement.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the
opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid
malfunction and damage.

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:
• 3" (7.5 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 3
Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket
• Position the opener on the garage fl oor below the header
bracket. Use packing material as a protective base.
NOTE: If the door spring is in the way you’ll need help. Have
someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to
allow the rail to clear the spring.
• Position the header/rail bracket against the header bracket.
• Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin 5/16"x2-3/4"
as shown. Spacer can be installed on either side of rail.
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 fl ash
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 fl oor. 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 fl oor.
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 fl oor.
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 fl ush, 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 (Figures 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 fl oor.
• 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 fl oor.
• 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 fl oor with concrete anchors as shown.

Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum height
of 5 feet (1.52 m) where small children cannot reach, away from
moving parts of door and door hardware. If installing into drywall,
drill 5/32" holes and use the anchors provided. For pre-wired
installations (as in new home construction), it may be mounted to
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 side of the cover
with a small fl at head screwdriver. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and 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 fi t.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. Do not overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3. (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. If your access door is near the garage door, you
may run this wire with the Safety Reversing Sensor wires along
the top of the rail. See page 17.
4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor unit above
the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 3).
5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Insert
door control wire into quick-connect terminals by color: white
wire to white, white/red wire to red.
Separate white and white/black wires suffi ciently 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.
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.
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 the power and operate the 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.
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 control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the opener until
Step 9 below.
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 fi t into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fi t into the
outlet you have, contact a qualifi ed electrician to install the proper
outlet.
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 diffi culties, do not run the opener at this
time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fi re:
• 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 fi t outlet. Be sure the opener is
grounded.
INSTALLATION STEP 9
Complete the Safety Reversing Sensor Installation
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 sendingeye amber indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the
receivingeye is off, dim, or fl ickering (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 the sensor until
it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light
glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.
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 fl ash 10 times
(see page 15).

Install the Lights
• Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently rotate lens
back and downward until the lens hinge is in the fully open
position. Do not remove the lens.
• 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 11
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
fl oor. 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 12
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated
below or on the following page.
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.
SECTIONAL DOORS
• Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical
centerline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct
UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket (Figure 2).
• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the following
limits:
A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top
edge of the door.
B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any structural
support across the top of the door.
• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes. Secure the
bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn’t require vertical reinforce ment but does
need top and bottom fastening holes for the door bracket, fasten
as shown in Figure 2.
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket.
Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
