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". 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.

Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your
door.
SECTIONAL DOOR
AND ONE-PIECE DOOR WITH TRACK
1.Close the door and mark the insidevertical
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
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 14) when clearance is minimal. (It may be
mounted on the wall upside down if necessary,
to gain approximately 1/2".)
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 2" above the high point, This height
will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the
door.
NOTE: Door clearance brackets are available for
sectional doors when headroom clearance is less
than 2". See accessory page 39.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet 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 2).
1.Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of bell wire and
connect to the two terminal screws on back of door
control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1.
2. Door Control Button: Fasten securely with
6ABx1-l/2" screws.
Console Model: Pry offcover along one side witha
screwdriver blade (see Figure1). Fasten with
6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (standard
installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (into gang
box) as follows:
•Install bottom screw, allowing 1//8" 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. 13onot 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. Be careful
not to pierce wire with a staple, creating a short or
open circuit.
4.Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on the
motor unit panel: white to 2; white/red to 1.
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.
DO NOT connect power and operate opener at
this time, The trolley will travel to the full open

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.
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.
•Reinstallthe cover.
