Start by Reviewing these Important Safety Alert Symbols

When you see these Safety Symbols on the following pages, they will alert you to the possibility of serious injury or death if you do not comply with the corresponding instructions. The hazard may come from something mechanical or from electric shock. Read the instructions carefully.

Mechanical Electrical

When you see this Safety Symbol on the following pages, it will alert you to the possibility of damage to your garage door and/or the garage door opener if you do not comply with the corresponding

instructions. Read the instructions carefully.

This garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed, operated,

maintained and tested in strict accordance with the safety instructions contained in this manual.

You'll Need Tools

During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools shown below.

An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when required and someone under the door

could be seriously injured or killed.

If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call for professional garage door

service. Garage doors, door springs, cables,

pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury

or death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust

them yourself!

Ropes left on a garage door could cause someone to become entangled and killed.

Remove all ropes connected to the door before installing and operating the opener.

Identify the type and height of your door and any special conditions that exist and any additional materials that may be required by referring to the lists

on page 4 or page 5.

ts Screwdriver

To avoid damage to the garage door and opener, disable locks before installing and

operating the opener. Use a wood screw or nail to hold locks in the "open" (unlocked) position.

Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause opener malfunction and damage.

Before you begin, complete the following test to make sure your door is balanced, and is not

sticking or binding: * Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the

door. Itshould stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.

* Raise and lower the door to see if there is any

binding or sticking.

Based on your particular requirements, there are several installation steps which might call for

materials and/or hardware not included in the carton.

Step 1, page 12 - Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be

securely fastened to structural supports. Step 5, page 17 - Do you have a finished ceiling in

your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.

Safety reversing sensor, page 21 - Depending upon garage construction, wood blocks may need

to be fastened to mounting locations before sensors are installed.

Step 10, page 22 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not

provided. Step 11, page 24 - Do you have a steel, aluminum,

fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required.

Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.

it must close on the floor all the way across. Otherwise, the safety reverse system may not

work properly. See page 30. Floor or door should be repaired.

If your door is more than 7 feet high, see the

longer rails available on page 38.

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

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2. install only on a properly balanced and lubricated garage door. An improperly balanced door may not reverse and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies

and other hardware must be made by a professional service person before installing opener.

3. Disable all locks and remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener.

Ropes connected to a garage door can cause entanglement and death.

4. if possible, install door opener 7 feet or more above floor with the emergency release handle mounted 6 feet above the floor.

5. Do not connect the opener to power source until instructed to do so.

6. Locate the Door Control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small

children cannot reach and away from all moving parts of the door.

7. install the User Safety Instruction Label on the wall adjacent to the door control and the Maintenance Instruction Label in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.

8. Upon completion of the installation, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a

one-inch high object or a 2×4 laid flat on the floor.

9. Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing an opener. Jewelry or loose clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the opener.

which apply to your door.

Pages 12- 27

If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a structural support on the header wall or

ceiling, the safety reverse system may not

work properly (see page 30). The door might

not reverse when required, and could cause serious injury or death.

The garage door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme

tension. Do not attempt to loosen, move or adjust them yourself. Serious personal injury

or death could result. Call for professional garage door service.

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

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

Remember, you can fasten the header bracket within 2 feet 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 (refer to page 14)

when clearance is minimal. (it may

be mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately

1/2".)

If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag

screws (not supplied) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as shown

here and on page 13.

• Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw

an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall 2" above

the high point. This height will provide travel clearance for the

top edge of the door.

Door clearance brackets are available for sectional doors

when headroom clearance is less than 2". See accessory

page 38.
