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 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.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
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 fl has a similar hole close to the opposite
edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the far end.
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, keephandsand fingers
away from the joints while assembling the rail.
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 stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole
10" (25 cm) from the front end of the rail, 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 screwdriver.
7. Slide the rail onto the "U" bracket, until it reaches all the
stops on the top and sides of the "U" bracket.

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
•HeaderbracketMUST be RIGIDLYfastened to structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header
bracket overdrywall.
• Concreteanchors MUSTbe usedif mounting headerbracket
or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garagedoor, springs,
cables,pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,ALL of which
are under EXTREMEtension.
• ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced
garagedoor might NOTreversewhen required.
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 13)
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 13.
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:
•2" (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 13 for ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach,
away from moving parts of door and door hardware.
If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the
anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new
home construction), it may be mounted to a single gang
box (Figure 1).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of
door control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red wire
to the 1 (Figure 2).
2. Remove cover by gently prying along one side with a
screwdriver (Figure 3). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1"
machine screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to protrude
above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.
• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid cracking
plastic housing. DO NOT overtighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.
3. (For standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall
and across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to
secure wire in several places. DO NOT pierce wire with
a staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 4).
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
5. Position the antenna wire as shown.
6. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near door control, and manual
release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location
on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate opener at
this time. The trolley will travel to the full open position but
will not return to the close position until the sensor beam is
connected and properly aligned.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
• Besure power is NOTconnected BEFOREinstalling door
control.
• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach
of children ata minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m), and away
from ALL moving parts of door.
• NEVERpermit children to operate or playwith door control
push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLYwhen it can be seenclearly, is properly
adjusted,and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYSkeepgarage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVERpermit anyoneto cross pathof closing garage door.

The light will turn ON and remain lit for approximately
4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the light
will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only a standard light bulb. The use of short
neck or speciafity light bulb may overheat the endpanel or
light socket.
To prevent possible OVERHEATINGof the endpanelor light
socket,
• DONOTuseshort neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DONOTuse halogenbulbs. Use ONLYincandescent.
To prevent damageto the opener:

Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle
1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through
the handle. Make sure that "NOTICE" is right side up.
Tie a knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the
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 the floor, avoiding contact with 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
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a falling
garagedoor:
• If possible,use emergency releasehandleto disengage
trolley ONLYwhen garagedoor is CLOSED.Weak or broken
springs or unbalanceddoor could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVERuseemergency releasehandle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVERusehandle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door
opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding
pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If
the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
RIGH_
WRONG
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
• Besure power is NOTconnectedto the opener,and
disconnect powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanentwiring connection.
• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance
with all local electrical and building codes.
• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change
plug in anyway to makeit fit outlet. Besurethe opener is
grounded.
PERMANENT WIRING
CONNECTION
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in
the top of the motor unit:
• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover
aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the
silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground
screw. The opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener
at this time.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System ®
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an
invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green
indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam
while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to
full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can
be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the
sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
Be sure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This
required safety deviceMUST NOTbe disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) above garagefloor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the
brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such
as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories)
are available if needed. If installing in masonry
construction, add a piece of wood at each location to
avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is
necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while
the door is closing.
