Planning
Identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour
garage areato 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 andthe accompanying
illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.
Dependingon your requirements,there are several installation
steps which may call for materialsor hardwarenot included in the
carton.
• Installation Step 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe
garagedoor. Theheader bracketmust be securelyfastenedto
structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your
garage? If so, a support bracketand additional fastening
hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 11 - Dependingupon garageconstruction,
extension brackets or wood blocks may be neededto install
sensors.
• Installation Step 11 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety
reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.
Doyou havean access door in addition to the garagedoor?
If not, Model 139.53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.
SeeAccessoriespage.
Lookat the garage door where it meetsthe floor. Any gap
betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem may not
work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS
• Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required
(Installation Step12).
• Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door.
If there is a torsion spring or center bearing platein the way of
the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m)
to the leftor right of the door center. See Installation
Steps 1 and 12.
• If your door is morethan 7 feet (2.13 m) high, seerail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ONE-PIECEDOORINSTALLATIONS
•Generally,a one-piecedoor does not require reinforcement.
If your door is lightweight, refer to the information relating to
sectional doors in Installation Step 12.
• Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket (Step 12).
Without a properly working safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determinethe HeaderBracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
•HeaderbracketMUSTbe RIGIDLYfastenedto structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header
bracket over drywall.
• Concreteanchors MUST be 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 unbalancedgarage
door might NOTreversewhen required.
Follow the instructions which applyto your door.
1. Closethe door and mark the insidevertical centerline of the
garagedoor.
2. Extendthe line onto the headerwall abovethe door.
Youcanfastenthe headerbracketwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) of
the left or rightof thedoorcenter onlyif a torsionspringor
center bearingplate is in theway; or youcan attachitto the
ceiling (see page 13) whenclearanceis minimal. (It may be
mountedon thewall upsidedownif necessary,to gain
approximately1/2" (1 cm).)
If you needto install the headerbracket on a 2x4 (on wall or
ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securelyfasten the
2x4 to structural supports as shown hereand on page13.
3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall abovethe high
point:
• 2"(5 cm) abovethe high point for sectional door and
one-piecedoor with track.
• 8"(20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piecedoor without
track.
This heightwill provide travel clearancefor the top edgeof the
door.
NOTE:If thetotal number of inches exceedsthe height available
in your garage,use themaximum height possible, or refer to
page 13 for ceiling installation.

only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the
outlet you have, contact a qualified electricianto install the proper
outlet.
Emergency _ ,_verhandnot

• 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 make it fit outlet. Besure the opener is
grounded.
PERMANENTWIRING
CONNECTION
If permanent wiring isrequired byyourlocal code,refer to the
followingprocedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in the top
of the motor unit:

The safetyreversingsensormustbeconnectedandaligned
correctlybeforethe garagedooropenerwill movein the down
direction.
IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detectan
obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending 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 beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop
and reverseto full open position, and the opener lights will flash
10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garageso that the sending
and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan
6" (15cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or
right of the door aslong as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eyelens.
The mounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of
sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.
Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
•Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor.
This required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets must
be securely fastenedto a solid surface such as the wall framing.
Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) are availableif needed.
If installing in masonry construction, adda pieceof wood at each
location to avoid drilling extra holesin 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 beamwhile the door is closing.
