1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your Marantec® Synergy Garage Door Operator System, the most innovative operator available today.
This stylishly designed digital operator with a wide range of accessories is engineered to provide the smoothest, quietest and safest operation to
compliment any application. Advanced technology results in the operator being capable of easily moving almost any properly balanced sectional
door, and at the same time providing state-of-the-art safety features to detect obstructions and to stop and reverse the door, thus helping to
protect persons and property near the door.
2. ADVANCED FEATURES
This operator includes numerous state-of-the-art features to provide you, the user, with years of trouble-free, convenient, and safe use of
your automatic garage door operator.
Advanced Digital Operating System EOS (Easy Operating System): The EOS digital system provides an user friendly
system set up. The EOS system requires only the initial set up parameters. All other operating parameters are learned and set

5. GARAGE
A garage door is a heavy moving object and can cause
serious injury or death. An unbalanced door might not
reverse when required, and can increase the risk of
injury. If your garage door is out of
balance, or if it binds or sticks, call for professional
garage door service. Garage doors, springs,
pulleys, cables, and hardware are under extreme tension
and can cause serious injury or death.
Do not try to adjust them yourself. Ropes left
on a garage door could cause someone to become
entangled and could kill them. Remove all ropes
connected to the door before installing your operator.

Take a moment to survey your garage and garage door.
Is there an access door besides the garage door? If not, you
should install an emergency key release kit.
With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and
garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than
1/4" (6mm). If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door
before installing operator.
The operator is intended for installation on a properly balanced
and adjusted garage door. DO NOT INSTALL IF DOOR IS
UNBALANCED OR BROKEN.
Check balance of door in mid travel and during full range of
opening and closing. Lift the door about half way, as shown in
Fig. 2 & 3. Release the door. It should remain in place,
supported by its springs. Raise and lower the door fully to
check for binding or sticking.
If door is out of balance or needs repair, DO NOT ADJUST IT
YOURSELF. CALL A QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR SERVICE
PROFESSIONAL to adjust your door.
If your door is over 7 ft. (2.1m) high, you will need a longer
rail. See section 6 “Rail Assembly” on p. 6 of this manual for
availability of longer rails.

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass
or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of
the door both vertically and horizontally with steel
or angle iron bracing.
The best solution is to follow the instructions for your
particular garage door or contact the garage door
manufacturer for proper reinforcement instructions.

7. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Check with the door manufacturer to determine if additional reinforcement is required to support the door prior to
installation of the door operator.
3. Install operator only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door could cause serious injury.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to garage door cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before
installing the operator.
4. Remove all ropes and disable all locks connected to the garage door before installing operator.
5. If possible, install the door operator 7 feet (2.1m) or more above the floor. For products having an emergency
release, adjust the emergency release cord for the handle to be within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.8m) above the
floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to avoid accidental release.
6. Do not connect the operator to source of power until this manual instructs you to do so.
7. Locate the wall control station: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5m) above the ground
so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
8. Place the Operating Warning Label next to the wall control panel in a prominent location. Affix Safety Label on
inside of garage door. The Emergency Release markings molded on handle.
9. After installing the operator, test Safety Reversal System. Door MUST reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch (40mm)
high object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.

8. INSTALLATION STEPS
Identify a sound structural support on header wall above garage
door for header bracket mounting. See Fig. 11. If appropriate
header does not exist, replace or install a new support using a 2x4
(50mm x 100mm) or 2x6 (50mm x 150mm) board. Fasten it securely
using lag screws (not provided) to structural supports of garage.
Fig. 10
8-1. MEASURE AND MARK DOOR AREA
Before starting your installation, the door and the header above
the door must be measured and marked. This way, the appropriate brackets can be mounted at the correct locations avoiding
installation and operating difficulties later.
MARK VERTICAL CENTER LINE:
Measure door width, then locate the center point (Fig. 10).
Mark a vertical line on the upper half of your door, on the top
edge of your door, and on the header, through the center
point.
MEASURE DOOR’S HIGHEST TRAVEL POINT:
(Review Figs. on p. 5 for details)
Open door to its highest travel point and measure from the
garage floor to the top of door.
Write down this distance.
FOR SECTIONAL DOORS AND ONE-PIECE DOORS WITH
HORIZONTAL TRACK:
Add 1-1/4" (30mm) to the door travel height (measured above).
FOR ONE-PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK:
Add 3-3/4" (95mm) to the door travel height (measured above).

MARK HORIZONTAL LINE FOR HEADER BRACKET
LOCATION:
Close door and measure the required distance (determined
above) from the garage floor to the header.
Mark a horizontal line, intersecting the vertical center line, on
header. This is the position at which the bottom of the header
bracket should be installed.
In case of minimal clearance above the door, the header
bracket may be mounted to the ceiling. In this case, extend
the vertical center line onto the ceiling, and mark a horizontal
line on the ceiling no further than 4" (100mm) from the
header wall. The header bracket should be mounted no
farther than this distance from the header wall.
8-2. INSTALL HEADER BRACKET
Header bracket kit located in rail carton.
If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a sound
structural support on the header wall or ceiling, the
safety reverse system may not work and could cause
serious injury or death. DO NOT move or adjust springs
or garage door hardware, as these parts are under
extreme tension and could cause injury or death.
