To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks before installing and operating
the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to
avoid malfunction and damage.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door may not reverse when
required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, all
of which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to
garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage
door opener to avoid entanglement.
Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
•Disable locks.
•Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
•Complete the following test to make sure your
garage door is balanced and is not sticking or
binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release
the door. If balanced, it should stay in place,
supported entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call
a trained door systems technician.
Tools needed
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the
opener, instructions will call for hand tools as
illustrated below.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door.
Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditions below apply to your installation. Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to
refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of
your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or
hardware not included in the carton.
•Installation Step 1 –Look at the wall or ceiling
above the garage door. The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structural supports.
•Installation Step 5 –Do you have a finished ceiling
in your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.
•Installation Step 10 –Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks
may be needed to install sensors.
•Installation Step 10 –Alternate floor mounting of
the safety reversing sensor will require hardware
not provided.
•Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model 7702C Outside Quick
Release is required. See Accessories page.
•Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.
Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the
door must not exceed 1/4". Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly. See
Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
•Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce-
ment is required (Installation Step 11).
•The opener should be installed above the center of
the door. If there is a torsion spring or center
bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it
may be installed within 4 feet to the left or right of
the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
•If your door is more than 7 feet high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Generally, a one-piece door does not require
reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to
the information relating to sectional doors in
Installation Step 11.
• Depending on your door’s construction, you may
need additional mounting hardware for the door
bracket (Step 11).

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the T-Rail and
Attach the Belt Pulley Bracket
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so.
1.Align the four T-rail sections on a flat surface
exactly as shown. Center sections are
interchangeable. Front and back sections are also
interchangeable for ease of assembly.
2.Insert the carriage bolts so the square
bolt necks seat in the square holes in
the T-rail sections and pass through
the round holes in the rail braces.
Make sure bolt necks are seated in
the square holes and rails are
aligned before you tighten lock
nuts. Improper assembly can cause
jerky trolley operation, noise and/or
nuisance door reversals.
3.Assemble lock nuts, ensure alignment
and tighten.
NOTE: If T-rail is not assembled exactly as shown,
trolley will not travel smoothly along length of rail
or it will hit against nuts.
4.Position the belt pulley bracket on the front end of
the T-rail as shown. Fasten securely with the
hardware shown.
NOTE: When tightening the screws, be sure to
keep bracket parallel to the rail. Otherwise, the rail
may bow when the opener is operated.

ASSEMBLY STEP 2
Install the Trolley
•As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the
hole in the front end of the T-rail.
•Slide the trolley assembly along the rail to the
screwdriver stop. NOTE: If trolley hits against any
nuts on the T-rail, the bolts and nuts were attached
from the wrong side and must be repositioned.
Review Assembly Step 1.
•Insert a 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screw into the trolley
stop hole in the T-rail as shown. Tighten securely
with a 5/16" lock washer and nut. This screw limits
trolley travel in the DOWN direction.

Fasten the T-Rail to the Motor Unit
•Place the opener on packing material to protect
the cover. For convenience, put a support under
the belt pulley bracket.
•Remove the two 5/16"-18x1/2" washered screws
mounted in the top of the motor unit.
•Align the holes in the back section of the T-rail
with the holes in the motor unit.
•Fasten the rail with the two washered screws
previously removed. Tighten securely. Remember
to use only these screws! Any other screws
will cause serious damage to the opener.
•Insert a 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screw into the cover
protection bolt hole in the T-rail as shown. Tighten
securely with a 5/16" lock washer and nut.
NOTE: This screw prevents trolley over-travel.
Keep a 2" minimum between the trolley and this
screw when adjusting travel limits (see page 28).

ASSEMBLY STEP 4
Install the Belt and Set the Tension
INSTALLING THE BELT
1.Drop the notched side of the trolley clip into the
retaining slot on top of the trolley (see Figure 1).
2.Grasp the clip connector at the end
of the belt and slip it through the belt
pulley bracket from behind, around
the pulley and toward the trolley.
3.Fasten the belt clip connector to the
trolley clip with a master link:
•Push pins of master link bar
through holes in trolley clip and belt
clip connector.
•Push master link cap over pins and
past pin notches.
•Slide clip-on spring over cap and onto
pin notches until both pins are securely
locked in place.
4.With the trolley against the screwdriver,
dispense the belt along the rail and around
the motor unit sprocket. The sprocket teeth
must engage the belt (Figure 2).
5.Use the second master link to connect the belt
to the flat end of the trolley threaded shaft
(Figure 1). Check to make sure the belt is not
twisted.
6.Remove the screwdriver.
SETTING THE TENSION
1.Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in
the trolley.
2.Hold the belt at the trolley shaft to avoid twisting as
you thread the spring/trolley nut by hand on the
shaft until finger tight against the trolley (Figure 3).
Do not use any tools.
3.Insert a screwdriver tip into one of the nut ring
slots and brace it firmly against the trolley.
(Figure 4).
4.Place a 7/16" open end wrench on the square end.
Rotate about 1/4 turn until the spring releases and
snaps the nut ring against the trolley (Figure 5).
This extends the spring for optimum belt tension.
