A If door frame is nailed together and not a solid connection, door frame must be braced or reinforced before installing Opener.

B If door is “lightweight” (made with frame and skin - not solid), door (including door frame) must be braced or reinforced before installing Opener.

C A door opener reinforcement bracket may also be needed to

connect garage door to Opener’s Door Bracket. This Opener is designed for installation on a properly braced sectional door or

solidly braced one-piece door. D Contact your Genie Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your

garage door for any necessary bracing and a door opener reinforcement bracket (if needed) before proceeding.

on center line. Bottom of Header Bracket will be installed here.

– For one-piece doors, add 6” to “H”. Mark this point on center line. Bottom of Header Bracket will be installed here.
