Power Head Assembly

Lay the torque tube on the floor (inside garage) in front
of the door with the labeled end to the left. NOTE:

Opener will not slide over a torque tube label.

Attempting to slide opener over the left end of the torque
tube can damage the internal electronics.

NOTE: Hold opener by the main body . Do NOT hold
by the motor.

Look into the opener’s left side to ensure the left hand bearing
and the internal (black) sleeve are aligned with the torque
tube profile. Once aligned, slide the opener power head
onto the right hand end of the torque tube. As the right end
of the torque tube enters the internal (black) sleeve, rotate
the opener back and forth slightly to help aid alignment.

NOTE: Do not force the opener onto the torque tube
if misalignment occurs.
