Planning
Identifythe type and height of yourgarage door.
Survey yourgarage area to see if any ofthe
conditionsbelowapply toyour installation.Additional
materialsmay be required.You may find ithelpfulto
refer backto thispage and the accompanying
illustrationsas you proceedwith the installationof
your opener.
Dependingon your requirements,there are several
installationstepswhichmay call for materialsor
hardware not includedin the carton.
• InstallationStep 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling
above the garage door.The header bracket must
be securelyfastened to structuralsupports.
•InstallationStep 5 - Do you have a finishedceiling
in yourgarage? If so, a supportbracket and
additionalfastening hardware may be required.
•InstallationStep 10- Depending upongarage
construction,extensionbrackets or woodblocks
may be needed to installsensors.
•InstallationStep 10 -Alternate floor mountingof
the safety reversingsensorwillrequirehardware
not provided.
Do you have an access door in additionto the
garage door? If not, Model 53702 Emergency Key
Release is required.See Acoessodes page.
Lookat the garage door where itmeets the floor.
Any gap between the floor and the bottomof the
door must notexceed 1/4". Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may notwork properly.See
AdjustmentStep 3. Flooror door shouldbe
repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglassor glass
panel door? Ifso, horizontaland verticalreinforce-
ment is required (InstallationStep tl).
•The opener shouldbe installedabove the center of
the door.If there isa torsionspdng or center
beadng plate in the way of the header bracket,it
may be installedwithin4 feet to the left or rightof
the door center.See InstallationSteps 1 and 11.
•Ifyour door is more than 7feet high, see rail

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 frontrail has a cutout "window"atthe door end
(see illustration).The hole above this window is
larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom.A
smaller hole3-1/2" away is close to the railedge.
Rotate the back rail so it has asimilarhole close to
the opposite edge, about4-3/4" from the far end.A
3-piece rail uses two back rails.
1. Remove the straightdoor arm, hangingbrackets
and clevispin packaged inside the frontrail and
set aside for InstallationStep 5 and 12.
2. Align the railsectionson a flat surfaceexactly as
shownand slidethe tapered ends intothe larger
ones. Tabs along the side willlock intoplace.
3. Placethe motoruniton packing materialto protect
the cover,and restthe back end of the railon top.
Forconvenience, put a supportunder the front
end of the rail.

4. As a temporarytrolley stop,clamp a lookingpliers
ontothe rail, 8"from the center of the idler pulley
hole, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plasticwear pads
insidethe inner trolley.If they became loose
during shipping,check all packing material. Snap
them backinto positionas shown.
6. Connect the inner and outer trolleysas shown.
7. Slidethe trolleyassembly along the railfrom the

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
centerlineof 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 spdng 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 installthe header bracketon a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securelyfasten the 2x4 to structuralsupportsas
shown here and on page 13.
3.Open your door to the highest pointof travel as
shown. Draw an intersectinghorizontal lineon the
header wall 2" above the high point.This heightwill
providetravel clearance for the top edge of the
door.
NOTE: Door clearance brackets are availablefor
sectionaldoors when headroom clearance is less
than 2". See accessory page 39.

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.
2. Open your door to the highest point of travel as
shown. Measure the distance from the top of the
door to the floor. Subtract the actual height of the
door. Add 8" to the remainder. (See Example).
3.Close the door and draw an intersecting horizontal

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. Skip 7/16" 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 2and white/red
wire to the 1.
2.Remove white cover by gentlypryingat slot in top
ofthe cover with a small fiat head screwdriver.
Fasten with 6ABx1-l/4%elf-tapping screws
(drywall installation)or 6-32x1" machinescrews
(intogang box) as follows:
• Installbottomscrew, allowing 1/8"to protrude
above wall surface.
• Positionbottom of door control on screw head
and slidedown to secure.Adjust screw
for snugfit.
• Ddll and installtop screwwith care to avoid
cracking plastichousing.Do not over tighten.
•Inserttop tabs and snap on cover.
3. (For standard Installation only) Run bellwire up
wall and across ceilingto motorunit.Use insulated
staplesto secure wire in several places.Do not
piercewire with a staple,creating a shortor open
circuit.
4. Skip 7/16" of insulationfrom end of bellwire.
Connect bell wire tothe quick-connect terminals
as follows: white to white and white/redto 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
redhNhite to red.
5. Positionthe antenna wire as shown.
6. Use tacks or staples to permanentlyattach
entrapment warninglabel to wall near door
control, and manual release/safetyreverse
test label in a prominentlocationon inside of
garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate
opener at thistime. The trolleywilltravelto the

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 thescrew
on the silverterminal; and the groundwire tothe
green ground screw The opener must be
grounded.
•Reinstallthe cover.
