2. Install garage door opener ONLY on properlybalanced and lubricated garage door.An
improperly balanced door mayNOT reverse when required and could resultin SEVERE
INJURY or DEATH.
3. ALL repairsto cables, spring assemblies and other hardware MUST be made by a trained door
systems technician BEFORE installing opener.
4. Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to garage door BEFORE installing opener
to avoid entanglement.
5. Install garage door opener 7 feet (2.13 m) or more above floor.
6. Mount the emergency release within reach, butat least6 feet(1.83 m) above the floor and
avoiding contact with vehiclesto avoid accidental release.
7. NEVER connectgarage door opener to power source until instructed to do so.
8. NEVER wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing opener. They could be
caught in garage door or opener mechanisms.
9. Install wall-mounted garage door control:
lwithin sight ofthe garage door.
lout of reach of children at minimum height of 5 feet (1.5m).
laway from ALL moving parts of the door.
10. Place entrapment warning label on wall next to garage door control.

Installation
STEP 1 Determine the header bracket location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
lHeader bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural supporton header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over
drywall.
lConcrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracketor 2x4 into masonry.
lNEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their
hardware,ALL ofwhich are under EXTREME tension.
lALWAYS 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 procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructionswhich applyto 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 leftor rightof the door center only ifa torsion spring or center bearing plate is
in the way; or you can attach itto the ceiling (see page 12) when clearance isminimal. (It may be
mounted on the wall upside down ifnecessary,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 supportsas shown here and on page 12.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on
the header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point:
l2" (5 cm) above the high pointfor sectional door and one-piece door with track.
l8" (20 cm) above the high pointfor one-piece door without track.
This heightwill provide travel clearance for the top edge ofthe door.NOTE: If the total number of inches
exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 12 for
ceiling installation.

STEP 3 Attach the rail to the header bracket
1. 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 will need help. Have someone hold the opener
securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring.
2. Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
3. Align the bracketholesand join with a clevis pin as shown.
4. Insert a ring fastener to secure.

STEP 4 Position the garage door opener
To preventdamage to garage door, restgarage door opener rail on 2x4 placed on top section ofdoor.
1. Remove the packing material and liftthe garage door opener onto a ladder.
2. Fullyopen the door and place a 2x4 (laid flat) under the rail. For one-piece doors without tracks,
lay the 2x4 on it's side.
NOTE: A 2x4 is ideal for setting the distance between the rail and the door. If the ladder is not tall
enough you will need help at this point. If the door hits the trolley when it is raised, pull the trolley release
arm down to disconnect the inner and outer trolley. Slide the outer trolley toward the garage door
opener. The trolley can remain disconnected until instructed.

STEP 6 Install the light bulbs
To prevent possible OVERHEATING ofthe end panel or lightsocket:
lUse ONLY A19 incandescent(100W maximum) or compact fluorescent(26W maximum) light
bulbs.
lDO NOTuse incandescentbulbslarger than 100W.
lDO NOT use compact fluorescent light bulbs larger than 26W (100W) equivalent.
lDO NOT use halogen bulbs.
lDO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
1. Pull on the top sides ofthe light lensand rotate the light lens down.
2. Insert an A19 incandescent (100W maximum) or compact fluorescent (26W, 100W equivalent)
lightbulb into the lightsocket.
3. Rotate the lens up to close.
NOTE: Do not use halogen, short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these may overheat the end panel or
light socket. Do not use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of your remote controls.
or or
STEP 7 Attach the emergency release rope and handle
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom a falling garage door:
lIf possible, use emergencyrelease handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling
rapidlyand/or unexpectedly.
lNEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and
obstructions.
lNEVER use handle to pull door open or closed.If rope knotbecomesuntied, you could fall.
1. Insert one end of the emergencyrelease rope through the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is
rightside up.Tie a knotat least1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end ofthe emergency release rope.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the hole in the trolley release arm.
Mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor, avoiding
contactwith vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure with a knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the cut end with a match or lighter to
prevent unraveling. Ensure the emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles to
avoid entanglement.

Installation
STEP 8 Install the door bracket
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE
installation ofdoor bracket. Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener
reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit.Failure to reinforce the top section asrequired
according to the door manufacturer may void the door warranty.
A horizontal and vertical reinforcement isneeded for
lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel,
doors with glass panel, etc.) (not provided). A horizontal
reinforcement brace should be long enough to be
secured to two or three vertical supports. A vertical
reinforcement brace should cover the height ofthe top
panel. Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing
dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or
reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this
case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.

OPTION A SECTIONAL DOORS
1. Center the door bracket on the previouslymarked vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge ofthe bracket2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top edge ofthe door,OR directly
below anystructural support across the top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction.
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron brace between the door panel support and
the door bracket:
lDrill 3/16" fastening holes.Secure the door bracket using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self threading
screws. (Figure 1)
lAlternately, use two 5/16"-18x2" bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 2)
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
lDrill 3/16" fastening holes.Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws. (Figure 3)
Wood Doors:
lUse top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes. Drill 5/16" holes through the door and
secure bracket with 5/16"-18x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 4)
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.
