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.

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.

Irestali 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 white cover by gently prying at slot in top of
the cover with a small flat head 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
wifl not return to the close position until
the sensor beam is connected and
properly aligned.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
•Besure power is NOTconnectedBEFOREinstallingdoor
control.
•ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlowvoltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a
closing garagedoor:
•Install door control within sight of garagedoor, out of
reachof children ata minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m),
and awayfrom ALL moving parts of door.
•NEVERpermit children to operateor playwith door control
push buttons or remotecontrol transmitters.
•Activate door ONLYwhen itcanbe seenclearly, is
properly adjusted, andthere are no obstructions to door

•Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently
rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is
in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.
• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.
Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. The
lights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately
4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the
lights will turn OFF.
•Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
•Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs, The use of short
neck or speciafity light bulbs may overheat the endpanel
or light socket,
To prevent possible OVERHEATINGof the endpanelor light

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
failing garage door:
•If possible, use emergency releasehandleto disengage
trolley ONLYwhen garage door is CLOSED.Weakor
broken springs or unbalanceddoor could result in an
open door failing 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
becomesuntied, 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.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
• Besure poweris NOTconnectedto the opener,and
disconnect powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanentwiring connection.
• Garagedoor installationand wiring MUSTbe in
compliancewith all local electricaland building codes.
• NEVERusean extensioncord, 2-wire adapter, or change
plug in any way to makeit fit outlet. Besure the 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.
Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.
To preventSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
•Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
This requiredsafety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
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.
