• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage door opener to avoid entanglement.

Preparing your garage door

Before you begin:

• Disable locks.

• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.

• Complete the following test to make sure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:

1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release

the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.

2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any

binding or sticking.

If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained door systems technician.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1

Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

To aid in assembly and installation, replace the foam packing around the motor unit. Remove it after Installation Step 4.

• Working on a level surface, align the rail assembly with the motor unit, as shown.

• Slip the coupling over the rail sprocket.

• Slide the rail through the motor unit bracket until the coupling fits securely over the motor unit sprocket.

• Align the two bolt holes in the rail with those in the motor unit bracket. Insert two 1/4"-20x5/8" hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten securely with a 7/16" socket wrench.

ASSEMBLY STEP 2

Install the Trolley

• Slide the trolley onto and along the bottom of the rail until it snaps firmly in place. Be certain to

install it facing correctly: the trolley release arm must be horizontal (lock position), with its arrow pointed away from the motor unit.

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following warnings before proceeding to the installation section.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Install garage door opener only on properly balanced and lubricated garage door. An improperly balanced door may not reverse when required and could result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

3. All repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other hardware MUST be made by a trained door systems technician BEFORE installing opener.

4. Disable all locks and remove all ropes connected to garage door BEFORE installing opener to avoid entanglement.

5. Install garage door opener 7 feet (2.13 m) or more above floor.

6. Mount emergency release handle 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor.

7. NEVER connect garage door opener to power source until instructed to do so.

8. NEVER wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing opener. They could be caught in garage door or opener mechanisms.

9. Install wall-mounted garage door control:

• within sight of the garage door

• out of reach of children at minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m)

• away from all moving parts of the door.

10. Place entrapment warning label on wall next to garage door control.

11. Place manual release/safety reverse test label in plain view on inside of garage door.

12. Upon completion of installation, test safety reversal system. Door MUST reverse on contact with a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

WARNING

INSTALLATION STEP 1

Determine the Header Bracket Location

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.

2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.

You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 9) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm).

If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 8.

3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high point:

• 3" (7.5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.

• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.

This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door.

NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 12 for ceiling installation.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.

• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.

• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, all of which are under EXTREME tension.

• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when required.

INSTALLATION STEP 2

Install the Header Bracket

You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket

over drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided).

WALL HEADER BRACKET INSTALLATION

• Center the bracket on the vertical centerline with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).

• Mark the vertical set of bracket holes (do not use the holes designated for ceiling mount). Drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.

Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket

• Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base. NOTE: If the door spring is in the

way you’ll need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring.

• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.

• Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as shown.

• Insert a ring fastener to secure.

INSTALLATION STEP 4

Install The Protector System

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other across the door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.

The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.

If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.

• Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

• To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

– Correctly connect and align the safety reversing

sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.

– Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO

HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
