INSTALLATION AND USE
INSTALLATION AND USE
WARNING: INCORRECT
INSTALLATION CAN LEAD
TO SEVERE OR FATAL
INJURY. FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not connect the opener power
head to a power source until
instructed to do so.
WARNING: IT IS VITAL FOR
THE SAFETY OF PERSONS TO
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Install only on a properly installed
garage door. An improperly
balanced door could cause severe
injury. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to cables,
spring assemblies, and other
hardware before installing the
opener.
Where possible, install the opener
power head seven feet or more
above the floor. For products
requiring an emergency release,
mount emergency release six feet
above the floor.
.
Install the entrapment warning label
next to the wall station in a
prominent location. For products
requiring an emergency disconnect,
install the emergency release
marking on or next to the emergency
disconnect.
Remove all ropes and remove or
make inoperative all locks
connected to the garage door before
installing the opener.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose
clothing when installing or servicing
a garage door system.
Locate the wall station: (a) within
sight of door, (b) at a minimum
height of five feet, so small children
cannot reach it, and (c) away from all
moving parts of the door.
After installing the opener, the door
must reverse when it contacts a
1- 1/2” high object (or 2 x 4 board
laid flat) on the floor.
Installation and wiring must comply
with local building and electrical
codes. Connect power cord to a
properly grounded outlet. Do not
remove the ground pin from power
cord.

Pre-Installation Inspection
Before installing Torsion idrive™, ensure your door system meets the following requirements. Follow the
illustration below as a visual guide.
CAUTION DO NOT INSTALL THIS OPENER ON YOUR DOOR
UNLESS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE MET.
The torsion tube must be 1” in diameter.
There must be at least 30-3/8" of clear torsion tube between the right (inside garage looking out) cable
drum and the counterbalance spring. When installing idrive, ensure there is at least 6" of clearance between
the “S” hook and the disconnect cable guide bracket.
The motor requires between 3-1/4" to 5" of headroom above the center of the torsion tube.
There must be at least 7.5" of clearance between the top of the door and the center of the torsion tube.
Required distance from the center of the torsion tube to the header (mounting location) must be 2-1/2" to
3-3/8".
Your door must not exceed 8' in height.
Torsion idrive™ will only work on multi-sectional doors. Do not install in one piece doors.
Your Garage Door must be properly balanced (door must not be heavy to lift, nor lift by itself). Maximum
door weight must not exceed 400 lb.
See the illustration below for the dimensions required for the Torsion idrive™ Garage Door Opener.

Torsion idrive™ Installation
Step 1
If there are no suitable mounting surfaces to mount the
opener, a strong mounting support will be needed.
Securely fasten a wood (2" x 6" recommended)
mounting surface for the opener. Make sure it is flush
with the header and located to allow the opener to
secure to it. Install the adjustable wall bracket to the
studs in the wall plate. Loosely secure with the 5/1618 nuts and lock washers provided.
IMPORTANT! This opener will not install properly
on doors with offsets other than 3-3/8” and 2-1/2”.

Locate both gear assemblies.
Remove the bridge gear from
the gear assembly. Place the
main gear onto the torsion tube.
Orient the bridge gear so that it
can slide into position
surrounding the torsion tube.
Ensure that both pieces fit
together properly. Secure the
bridge gear to the main gear
with the (2) 1/4-20 x 3/8"
screws. Repeat procedure with
second gear assembly. Slide the
gear assemblies 19" apart. See
illustration for position of
driven gear assemblies.

Lift the opener slightly and slide the left hand gear
assembly over so that the left hand drive gear meshes
with and rests on the teeth of the left hand gear assembly.
Repeat for right hand gear assembly. Plug motor power
cord into the opener.

Hand tighten the 3/8” square head bolt on the left hand
gear assembly. Then with a wrench tighten 1 to 1-1/4
turns to set screw. Adjust the opener and left hand gear
assembly so that there is a minimum 1/8" spacing
between the opener and the left hand gear assembly.
Now, adjust the right hand gear assembly, so that there
is a minimum 1/8"
spacing between
opener and the
gear. Tighten the
3/8" square head
bolt in the same
manner as above.

Step 5
Adjust the mounting bracket so that it fits flush with the
header/ mounting support. Tighten the 5/16-18 nuts. Next,
level the opener with the torsion tube and door. Near the
cable drum, measure the distance from the torsion tube to
the top of the door. This dimension must be the same at the
opener point on the torsion tube to the door. Adjust the
opener vertically (if necessary) to accommodate this. Mark
a line under the mounting bracket when the torsion tube
and top of door are parallel. Keeping the mounting bracket
aligned with the line, secure the bracket to the mounting
support by first pre-drilling the lag screw locations with 3/
16” dia. bit and fastening with (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.

WARNING WHEN LEVELING THE OPENER TO THE TORSION TUBE DO NOT MAKE
ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CENTER SPRING BRACKET ASSEMBLY. REMOVING ANY LAG
SCREWS HOLDING THE SPRING BRACKET TO THE WALL MAY RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL
INJURY. LEVEL THE OPENER BY SIMPLY MOVING THE UNIT UP OR DOWN VERTICALLY.
Pull on the disconnect cable that is located at the lower right hand side of the opener. NOTE: The disconnect
cable must be pulled straight out. The disconnect cable cannot be pulled at an angle.
While holding the disconnect cable rotate the motor into the down position. Release the disconnect cable to
allow the disconnect bearing to re-engage the motor assembly.
HELPFUL HINT: Insert a screwdriver through the cable loop, to use as a handle when pulling disconnect
cable.
Step 6
CABLE DRUM
Attach the loose disconnect cable, from the hardware
kit, to the opener disconnect cable using the “S” hook
provided. Close both ends of the “S” hook to lock the
assembly together. Thread the cable guide bracket onto
the disconnect cable making sure that the proper hole
is used. For the 2-5/8" to 2-1/2” tube offset, use the
hole closest to the flange. For the 3-3/8" tube offset,
use the hole farthest from the flange.

IMPORTANT! If cable is not aligned parallel to the torsion tube, the disconnect
operation will not function properly.

Once the cable guide bracket is aligned, secure the

NOTE: It is recommended that 1/4" lag screw
locations are pilot drilled using 1/8" drill bit. Disconnect cable must be routed behind the counterbalance
cable and it must not rub on the counterbalance cable. Route cable through the cable guide bracket, behind
the counterbalance cable and through a convenient hole or slot in the flagangle. IMPORTANT! Ensure thatthe disconnect cable is between the counterbalance cable and the header/jambs. If there isn’t a hole
available, it may be necessary to drill a 1/8" diameter hole in the flagangle. Route cable through flagangle so
that the disconnect cable is now hanging outside of the track.

Mark a location on the right jamb, 6 feet above the floor to mount the handle bracket. Align top of the bracket
with the mark. Fasten bracket to the jamb with (2) 1/4 x 1-1/2" lag screws. Start the #6-20 x 1/2"screw into the
handle. Thread the disconnect cable through the top of the handle bracket
and then the handle. Locate the handle in full upper position of handle
bracket. Then remove all cable slack between the opener and the top of
the handle bracket. Tighten #6-20 x 1/2" screw into the handle until
snug, and then tighten screw an additional 1 to 1-1/2 turns to secure
cable to handle. Trim off excess cable from bottom of the handle.
NOTE: It is recommended that 1/4" lag screw location be pilot drilled
using 1/8" drill bit. CAUTION: Pull cable only enough to remove
the cable slack. Pulling the cable more could cause opener to
disconnect from the torsion tube.
Apply emergency disconnect label next to the mounted bracket. Use
mechanical fasteners if adhesive will not adhere.
