Genie PMX500-IC/B, PMX500-IC/A, PMX300-IC/B, PMX300-IC/A Owner’s Manual

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

exact position needed with respect to the garage door operator. In any case, it may be necessary

to add an additional bracket and fasteners (not

included with your new door operator kit).

Check the wail directly above the garage

door. The door operator's header bracket

must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure

that the structure will provide a strong mounting

location.

Check to see if the mounting location

for the Safe-T-Beam ® System (STB) is

clear from obstruction and has a wood

surface available for attaching the STB

brackets. The brackets may also be attached to concrete if necessary but extra tools and special

fasteners (not supplied) will be required.

You need a 110-120 Volt power supply

available. If you plan to plug the unit into a standard electrical outlet, is one available? The outlet should be no more than about 3 feet from the

power head once it is mounted. (The cord is 4 ft, in length.) SEE WARNING BELOW.

To avoid damage to your door and/or

operator, make sure you disable any door locks prior to installing your operator.

Insure that your door is properly balanced

and moving freely. SEE WARNING BELOW.

Is your garage door made of

light-weight steel, aluminum, fiberglass

or glass panels? Additional support bracing must be added to these type doors, If this is the

case, please contact the door distributor or manufacturer so that they can furnish you with a

"bracing kit."

(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have

a separate entry door, you might want to

consider an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on your garage door. See page 30.
