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.
Sectional Door
To prevent possibleSERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
•ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An
unbalancedgaragedoor may not reversewhen
required
• NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garage door,door
springs, cables,pulleys, brackets or their hardware, all
of which are under EXTREMEtension.
• DisableALL locksand remove ALL ropes connectedto
garage door BEFOREinstalling and operating garage
door openerto avoid entanglement.
To preventdamageto garagedoor and opener:
• ALWAYSdisable locks BEFOREinstalling and operating
the opener.
• ONLYoperategaragedoor openerat 120V,60 Hz to

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 walt 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 53702 Emergency Key
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" (6 mm). 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
reinforcement 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 (1.22 m) to the left or
right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1
and 11.
If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see
rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc.). See page 23 for details.

Planning (Continued)
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).
Without a properly working safety reversalsystem,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLEDbya closing garage
door.
• The gapbetweenthe bottom of the garagedoor and
the floor MUSTNOTexceed 1/4" (6 ram). Otherwise,
the safety reversalsystem may not work properly.
• Thefloor or the garagedoor MUSTbe repairedto
eliminate the gap.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the l_olley
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so.
The front rail has a cut out "window" at the door end
(see illustration). The hole above this window is
larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A
smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail
edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole
close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm)
from the far end. NOTE: Using the sequence above
the clips will be facing down.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging
bracket packaged inside the front rail and set
aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To
prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully
remove the straight door arm stored within the rail
section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown
and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones.
Tabs along the side will lock into place.
To prevent INJURYfrom pinching, keephands and
fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.
NOTE: Rail sections may be assembled with the
clips up or down (down is preferred) disassembly of
rail may damage clips.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect
the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top.
For convenience, put a support under the front
end of the rail.
4. As a temporary trolley stop, clamp locking pliers
onto the rail 8" (20 cm) from the center of the idler
pulley hole, as shown.
5.Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads
inside the inner trolley. If they became loose
during shipping, check all packing material. Snap
them back into position as shown.
6.Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the
back end to the locked pliers.

ASSEMBLY STEP 2
Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit
•Insert a 1/4"-20xl-3/4 bolt into the cover protection
bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown.
Tighten securely with a 1/4"-20 lock nut. Do NOT
overtighten.
• Remove the two bolts from the top of the motor
unit.
• Place the "U" bracket, flat side down, on the motor
unit and align the bracket holes with the bolt holes.
Fasten with the previously removed bolts.
• Align the rail assembly with the top of the motor
unit. Slide the rail end onto the "U" bracket, all the
way to the stops that protrude on the top and sides
of the bracket.
Toavoid SERIOUSdamageto garagedoor opener,
useONLYthose bolts/fasteners mounted in the top of
the opener.

Install the Idler Pulley
• Lay the belt beside the rail, as shown. Grasp the
end with the hooked trolley connector and pass
approximately 12" (30 cm) of belt through the
window. Keep the ribbed side toward the rail, and
allow it to hang until Assembly Step 5.
• Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside
center should be pre-greased. If dry, regrease to
ensure proper operation.
• Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.
• Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail
and pulley. Tighten with a 3/8" lock washer and nut
underneath the rail until the lock washer is
compressed.
• Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.
• Insert a 1/4"-20xl-3/4 bolt into the trolley stop hole
in the front of the rail as shown. Tighten securely
with a 1/4"-20 lock nut.

ASSEMBLY STEP 4
Install the Belt
and Attach the Belt Cap Retainer
1. Pull the belt around the idler pulley and toward the
trolley. The ribbed side must contact the pulley.
2. Hook the trolley connector into the retaining slot
on the trolley as shown.
3. With the trolley against the pliers, dispense the
remainder of the belt along the rail length toward
the motor unit and around the sprocket. The
sprocket teeth must engage the belt.
4. Check to make sure the belt is not twisted, then
connect it to the flat end of the trolley threaded
shaft with the master link, as illustrated:
Toavoid possible SERIOUSINJURYto fingers from
moving garage door opener:
• ALWAYSkeep handclear of sprocket while operating
opener.
• Securely attach sprocket cover BEFOREoperating.
• Push pins of master link bar through holes in
end of belt and trolley threaded shaft.
• 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.
5. Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in
the trolley. Be sure the belt is not twisted, and the
ribbed side faces the rail.
