trusses through finish material using (provided)
lag screws (Fig. 2-6).
• On unfinished ceilings or open ceilings, straps
may attach directly to joists or trusses.
Depending on the garage construction, extra
framing material (not provided) which may be
required should be installed using appropriate
construction techniques (Fig. 2-6).
NOTE: Refer to your local building codes for
appropriate framing materials and construction
techniques.
• Attach mounting straps (not provided) to ceiling
using lag bolt
s (Fig. 2-6).
• Set height of power head to following (Fig. 2-6).
a)
Rail must clear door at door’s highest point
of travel.
b) Be level or power head slightly below level.
• Securely tighten power head mounting bolts
and nuts.
• Carefully raise and lower door manually. Ensure
door does not contact any section of power head
or rail.
