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.

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 reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJURED
or KILLEDby a closing garage door.
• Thegap between the bottom of the garagedoor and the
floor MUST NOTexceed 1/4"(6 mm). Otherwise, the
safety reversal system may not work properly.
• Thefloor or the garage door MUSTbe repairedto

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 2).
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.
2. Remove white cover by gently prying at slot in top of
the cover with a small flat head screwdriver. 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.
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires
into quick-connect holes: white to wh#e and red/wh#e
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.

and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top
of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side up as
shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1"
(2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in
the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear
the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure
with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

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.
Toprevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
• Besure power is not connected to the opener,and
disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in
compliance with all local electrical and building codes.
• NEVERuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change
plug in anyway to make it fit outlet. Be surethe 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 not connected to the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
Toprevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
This required safety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) abovegarage floor.
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.
