ASSEMBLY OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER IS NOW COMPLETE.
BEFORE YOU PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER BE SURE TO
COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RULES:
KEEP GARAGE DOOR BALANCED. STICKING OR BINDING DOORS MUST BE REPAIRED. THE
GARAGE DOOR, THE DOOR SPRINGS, CABLES, PULLEYS, BRACKETS AND TH EIR HARDWARE
MAY BE UNDER EXTREME TENSION AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. DO NOT

DOOR SPRINGS OR HARDWARE.
DO NOT WEAR WATCHES, RINGS OR LOOSE CLOTHI NG WHILE INSTALLING OR SERVICING A
DOOR OPENER.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE OPENER BE INSTALLED 7 FEET OR MORE ABOVE THE FLOOR
WHERE SPACE PERMITS..

STE P 1 Position & Install Header Bracket
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow onlytbose instructions which applyto your door as illustrated below.,
THE HEADER BRACKET MUST BE RIGIDLY FASTENED TO TH E H EADER WALL OR CEILING,, REINFORCE WALL OR CEILING WITH 2x4 IF NECESSARY,
1 With door closed, locate and mark the vertical centerline of garage door Extend line onto header wall above door
2, Locate height for header bracket by opening door to highest point of travel as shown, Draw an inter- secting horizontal line on header wall 2" above high point This height provides travel clearance for top edge of door
NOTE: When headroom is not su fficient for 2" clearance, the bottom edge of bracket may be placed parallel to the high point of travel, or bracket may be attached to ceiling.
Door Clearance Brackets are designed for low headroom installations(Page 2). They replace top brackets and rollers on the garage door,
thereby lowering the high point of door travel. Installation instructions are contained in the

NOTE: A 2x4 is convenient for setting an ideal
PROCEDURE: Raise the opener chassis onto a step- ladder Open garage door Place a 2x4 on edge on top section of door near centerline Rest Tee rail on 2x4
PROCEDURE: Measure the distance from floor to
top of door (in fully open position and parallel to the floor)
Using a stepladder as a support, raise the opener chassis to the same distance from the floor (chassis will have a slight angle as shown)
The top of the door should be levet with the top of the opener For maximum efficiency, do not position the opener chassis more than 2 inches above this point.

THE OPENER CHASSIS MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORTOF GARAGE. Three representative installations are shown. You rs may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Fig. 1 ) or crossed (Fig. 2) to provide rigid support On finished ceilings (Fig. 3). attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) to ceiling joists before installing opener
FIGURE 2
PROCEDURE: On EACH side of opener measure the distance from chassis to structural support
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit fastening angles. Do not bend at bracket holes. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in structural support. Attach flattened ends of brackets to the support with 5/1
