Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you wilt 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. It may be necessary to add an
additional bracket and fasteners (not included
with your new door operator kit).
Check the wall directly above the garage
door. The door operator's header bracket
must be securely fastened to this watt. Ensure
that the structure wilt 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 brack-
ets. The brackets may be attached to concrete if
necessary but extra tools and special fasteners
(not supplied) will be required.
b_O'l" : 1-12 STB b_'_ck_:;£sd_;U_t_'s _;
You need a 110-120 Volt power supply
available. The outlet should be no more than
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.
Ensure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. SEE WARNING BELOW.
(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you should consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation
on your garage door. See page C at the center of
this manual.
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."
