Check your ceiling where the power

head of your new unit will be mounted.

Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the

position needed with respect to the garage door
opener. It may be necessary to add an

additional bracket and fasteners (not included
with your new door opener kit).

(Refer to Section 2.)

Check the wall directly above the garage

door. The door opener's header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting

location. (Refer to Section 2.)

Check to see if the mounting location

for the Safe-T-Beam ®System is clear from
obstruction and has a wood surface available

for attaching the mounting brackets. The
brackets may be attached to concrete if necessary

but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied)
will be required. (Refer to Section 4 and 5.)

You need a properly grounded 110-120 Volt

power supply available. The outlet should be

no more than 3 feet from the power head once it is
mounted. (Refer to Section 5.)

To avoid damage to your door and/or

opener, make sure you disable and/or
remove any door locks, ropes, and/or cables
(NOT door lift cables) prior to installing your

opener. (Refer to Section 1.)

insure that your door is properly balanced

and moving freely. (Refer to Section 10.)

aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass

or glass panels? Additional support bracing

case, please contact the door manufacturer or
authorized dealer so that they can furnish you
with a "bracing kit." (Refer to Section 2.)

PN# 37026500123 05/15/2009

a separate entry door, you should consider

an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on
your garage door.
