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 high (2.13 m), see
rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so,
The front rail has a cut out "window" at the door end
(see illustration). The hole above this window is
larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A
smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail
edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole
close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm)
from the far end. A 5-piece rail uses four back rails.
NOTE: Using the sequence above ,the clips will be
facing down.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging
brackets packaged inside the front rail and set
aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To
prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully
remove the straight door arm stored within the rail
section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown
and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones.
Tabs along the side will lock into place.
To prevent INJURYfrom pinching, keephandsand
fingers awayfrom the joints while assemblingthe rail.
NOTE: Rail sections may be assembled with the
clips up or down (down is preferred) disassembly of
rail may damage clips.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect
the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top.
For convenience, put a support under the front
end of the rail.
4. As a temporary trolley stop, clamp a locking pliers
onto the rail, 8" (20 cm) from the center of the
idler pulley hole, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads
inside the inner trolley, tf they became loose

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 14) 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 2" (5 cm) 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" (5 cm). See accessory page 39.

INSTALLATION STEP 5
Hang the Opener
Two representative installations are shown. Yours
may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished
ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket to
structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
(See Accessories).
To avoid possible SERIOUSINJURYfrom a falling
garage door opener,fasten it SECURELYto structural
supports of the garage.Concreteanchors MUSTbe used
if installing any brackets into masonry.
Figure 1
1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor
unit to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-18xl-7/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually, tf
the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this
time.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a
minimum height of 5 feet (1.52 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 6ABxl-1/4"self-tapping screws
(drywall installation) or 6-32xl" 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 over tighten.
• 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 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 trofley will travel to the
full open position but will not return to the close
position until the sensor beam is connected and
properly aligned.
Toprevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution:
• Be sure power is not connectedBEFOREinstalling door
control.
• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.
Toprevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a
closing garagedoor:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of
reachof children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.52 m), and away from all moving parts of door.
• NEVERpermit children to operateor play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.

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.
RIGHO
WRONG
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.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
• Besure power is not connectedto the opener,and
disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanentwiring connection.
• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in
compliancewith all local electricaland building codes.
• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or
changeplug in anyway to makeit fit outlet. Be sure
