You'll Need Tools
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools shown below.
Stepladder
Tape Measure aw
Locking pliers Adjustable End Wrench
An unbalanced garage door might not reverse
when required and someone under the door
could be seriously injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of
balance, call for professional garage door
service. Garage doors, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust
them yourself!
Ropes left on a garage door could cause
someone to become entangled and killed.
Remove all ropes connected to the door before
installing and operating the opener.
Identify the type and height of your door and any
special conditions that exist and any additional
materials that may be required by referring to the
lists on page 4 or page 5.
To avoid damage to the garage door and
opener, disable locks before installing and
operating the opener. Use a wood screw or nail
to hold locks in the "open" (unlocked) position.
Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause
opener malfunction and damage.
Before you begin, complete the following test to
make sure your door is balanced, and is not
sticking or binding:
•Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. It should stay in place, supported entirely by
its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.

adjust them yourself. Serious personal Injury
or death could result. Call for professional
garage door service.
2x4 S_u_ural • Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centerline of the garage door.
• Extend the line onto the header wall
above the door.
Remember, you can fasten the
header bracket within 2 feet of the
left or right of the door center onlyif
a torsion spring or center bearing
plate Is In the way; or you can attach
it to the ceiling (refer to page 14)
when clearance is minimal, (It may
be mounted on the wall upside down
if necessary, to gain approximately
1/2".)
Ifyou need to instal/the header bracket
on a 2x4 (on wail or ceiling), use lag
screws (not provided) to securely fasten
the 2x4 to structural supports as shown
here and on page 13.
•Open your door to the highest
point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wall 2" above

Installation Step 6
Install the Door Control
Locate the door control within sight of the door at a
minimum height of 5feet where small children
cannot reach, and away from all moving parts of the
door and door hardware.
I
The door control is typically attached directly to the
wall. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and
use the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations
(as in new home construction), Console models may
be mounted to a standard single gang box.
See illustrations.
1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell
wire. Connect wire to the two screw terminals on
the back of the door control: white wire to 2 and
white/red wire to 1.
2. Remove the push bar cover by gently prying off
the top edge with a coin or screwdriver. Fasten
with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (standard
installation) or 6-32xl" machine screws (pre-wired
installation) as follows:
•Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to protrude
from the wall.
•Position bottom of door control on screw head
and adjust for snug fit.
• Install top screw with care to avoid cracking
plastic housing. Do not overtighten.
3. (For standard wall mount only)
Run the bell wire up wall and across ceiling to
opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire in
several places. Be careful not to pierce wire with a
staple, creating a short.
4. Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on
the opener panel: white to 2; white/red to 1.
5. After testing, replace the cover by inserting top
tabs and snapping into place.
Note: After installation, the green indicator light
behind the push bar cover will indicate proper
connection.
The automatic light feature will become functional
