To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so.
To aid in assembly and installation, replace the foam
packing around the motor unit. Remove it after
Installation Step 5.
• Working on a level surface, align the rail assembly with
the motor unit, as shown.
• Slip the coupling over the rail sprocket.
• Slide the rail through the motor unit bracket until the
coupling fits securely over the motor unit sprocket.
• Align the two bolt holes in the rail with those in the
motor unit bracket. Insert four 1/4"-20x7/16" hex bolts.
Tighten securely with a 3/8" socket wrench.
• Turn release arm down to disengage trolley.
• Slide the trolley onto and along the bottom of the rail.
Align trolley with rack and turn release arm up to
re-engage trolley. Be certain to install it facing
correctly: the trolley release arm must be
horizontal (lock position), with its arrow pointed
away from the motor unit.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket
Location
Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1.Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline
of the garage door.
2.Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
(1.22 m) 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 (see page 9)
when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on
the wall upside down if necessary, to gain
approximately 1/2" (1 cm).
If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as
shown here and on page 9.
3.Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall
above the high point:
• 3" (7.5 cm) above the high point for sectional door
and one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top
edge of the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the
height available in your garage, use the maximum
height possible, or refer to page 9 for ceiling
installation.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural
support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door
might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header
bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header
bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, all of which are
under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door might not reverse when required.

INSTALLATION STEP 2
Install the Header Bracket
You can attach the header bracket either to the wall
above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the
instructions which will work best for your particular
requirements. Do not install the header bracket over
drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete
anchors (not provided).
WALL HEADER BRACKET INSTALLATION
• Center the bracket on the vertical centerline with the
bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as
shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
• Mark the vertical set of bracket holes (do not use the
holes designated for ceiling mount). Drill 3/16" pilot
holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural
support with the hardware provided.

INSTALLATION STEP 3
Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket
• Position the opener on the garage floor below the
header bracket. Use packing material as a protective
base. NOTE: If the door spring is in the way you’ll
need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on
a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the
spring.
• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
• Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin
as shown.
• Insert a ring fastener to secure.
