WARNING
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, any special
conditions that exist, and any additional materials that
may be required, by referring to page 4.
Test your Door
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. It should stay in place, supported entirely by
its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.

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
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 manual 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 control button 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 2x4 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.

Follow instructions which apply to your door
type as illustrated.
To prevent damage to steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel doors, do not rest the
opener on the door without using a 2x4.
SECTIONAL Door & ONE-PIECE Door with Track
A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal
door-to-T-rail distance.
• Raise the opener onto a stepladder.
You will need help at this point if the ladder is
not tall enough.
• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat
on the top section beneath the T-rail.
If the top panel hits the trolley when you raise
the door, pull down on the trolley release arm to
disconnect the inner and outer sections. The
trolley can remain disconnected until Step 12 is
completed.
• With the door fully open and parallel to the floor,
measure the distance from the floor to the top of
the door.
• Using a stepladder as a support, raise the opener
to the same distance as the door from the floor (it
will be at a slight angle as shown).
• The top of the door should be level with the top of
the opener. Do not position the opener more than
2" above this point.

Hang the Opener
Two representative installations are shown.
Yours may be different. Hanging brackets should
be angled, Figure 1, to provide rigid support. On
finished ceilings, Figure 2, attach a sturdy metal
bracket to structural supports before installing the
opener. The bracket and fastening hardware are not
supplied.
• Measure the distance from each side of the opener
to the structural support.
• Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
• Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
• Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"x1-7/8" lag screws.
• Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex screws, lock washers and nuts.
• Check to make sure the T-rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
• Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the
door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
Grease the top and underside of
the rail surface where the
trolley slides with rail
grease.

Attach the Manual Release
Rope and Handle
Do not use the red handle to pull the door
open or closed. The rope knot could become
untied and you could fall. Use the manual
release only to disengage the trolley and, if
possible, only when the door is closed.
Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open
when the handle is pulled, the door could
close inadvertently if it is not properly
balanced. Serious injury may result to persons
under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear
of persons and obstructions before pulling
handle when the door is open.
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the
top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side
up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot.
The knot should be at least 1" from the end of the
rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in
the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above the
floor. Secure with an overhand knot.
If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a
required safety device and cannot be disabled.
Installation procedures are the same for sectional
and one-piece doors.
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be injured or killed by a closing garage door.
Read and follow all instructions.
To protect small children, install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
Figure 1: Facing the door from inside the garage
The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the studs on either side of the door,
or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in
masonry construction.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,
hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the
beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece
of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to
the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

The Protector System®
Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye.The units can be installed on
either side of the garage door as long as the sun
never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
Look at the label on the connector end of each case
to identify the sensors.
The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other
as shown in Figure 1.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
garage door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position, and the opener lights
will flash for 5 seconds.

Installation Step 11
Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door
type as illustrated below or on page 21. To prevent damage to steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel doors, always
reinforce the inside of the door both vertically
and horizontally with an angle iron.
A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should
cover the height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of
angle iron are used to create a "U"-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation, door reinforcement kit.
• Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical guideline used for the header bracket
installation.
• Position the bracket on the face of the door within
the following limits:
A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" below the top
edge of the door.
B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes.
Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is
vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforce-
ment but does need top and bottom fastening holes
for the door bracket, position the door plate over the
door bracket as shown in Figure 2. Fasten securely
with hardware shown in Figure 1.
