2. Install only on a properly balanced sectional garage door.
An improperly balanced door could cause severe injury.
Have a trained door system technician make repairs or
adjustments to cables, spring assemblies, and other
hardware before installing the opener.

3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all
locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.

4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more
above the floor. For products having an emergency
release, mount the emergency release within reach, but at
least 6 feet above the floor and avoiding contact with
vehicles to avoid accidental release.

PENER ASSEMBLY

1

RAIL ASSEMBLY: Use a clean, flat surface.

NOTE: For 1-piece rail—skip to POWER HEAD &
RAIL ASSEMBLY.

5. Do NOT connect the opener to source of power
until instructed to do so.

6. Locate the control button:

• Within sight of door,

• At minimum height of 5 feet so small children are not

able to reach it, and

• Away from all moving parts of the door.

7. Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the Wall
Control button in a prominent location. Install the
Emergency Release Tag on or next to the emergency
release.

8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse within
2 seconds when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high object (or a
2 x 4 board laid flat) on the floor.

FOR HELP-1.800.354.3643 OR WWW.GENIECOMPANY.COM

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to persons or
damage to property - Use this opener only
with sectional doors.

CAUTION

Do NOT run until opener is fully assembled and

instructed to do so.

NOTE: Three (3) piece railassemblies are for a 7
foot high door.

Clear a workspace area to unpack and organize box
and contents for assembly.

1. There are 4 boxes inside the carton. Each box is
numbered 1 - 4. Note that some openers will

contain the same parts and be packaged with
fewer boxes. Carefully remove the three

internal boxes (Labeled #1, 2, and 3) and place
them on the floor for easy access (Fig. 1-1).

These boxes contain assembly parts and the
contents are organized by assembly tasks. For
quick reference inside the lid of each box there is
a label illustrating the components inside.

2. Remove the motor power head and place it on
the floor for later use. Remove box #4 and
place it on the floor for later use.
