door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.

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 4- Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 4 - Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Installation Step 6 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
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 12).
• 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 (1.2 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation Steps 1 and 12.
• 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 12.
• Depending on your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardware for the door bracket
(Step 12).
Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJURED
or KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.
• The gap betweenthe bottom of the garage door and the
floor MUST NOTexceed1/4" (6 ram). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
• The floor or the garage door MUSTbe repairedto eliminate
the gap.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so.
1. Open the rail carton and remove the contents onto a
level work surface. Keep it clean and free of debris
while you are working.
2. Identify the rail sections and orient the sections on a
flat surface as shown. The back rail has a black gear
on one end. The header rail has a black plastic rack
inside the rail on the screw. The remaining section is
the center rail.
NOTE: Use caution when handling the center rail
section. The screw can slip out if the section is tipped up
too far.
Remove Cardboard Packing

the motor unit, as shown.
2. Slip the coupling over the rail sprocket.
3. Slide the rail through the motor unit bracket until the
coupling fits securely over the motor unit sprocket.
4. Align the four bolt holes in the rail with those in the
motor unit bracket. Insert four 1/4"-20x7/16" hex bolts.
Tighten securely with a 3/8" socket wrench.
5. Disengage trolley by turning the release arm down
(arrow pointing up). Slide trolley onto and along the
bottom of the rail until it aligns with the rack. Turn
release arm up (arrow pointing away from motor unit.
This will join the rack and the trolley.
