statements that accompany it. Readthem carefully.

Preparingyourgaragedoor
Beforeyou begin:
1. Disablelocks and removeany ropesconnected to the

2. Lift the door halfway up. Releasethe door. If balanced, it
should stay in place,supported entirely by its springs.
3. Raiseand lower the door to checkfor binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance,call a
trained door systems technician.
4. Checkthe sealon the bottom of the door. Anygap
betweenthe floor and the bottom ofthe door must not
exceed1/4 inch (6 ram).Otherwise,the safety reversal
system maynot work properly.
5. The opener should be installed abovethe center of the
door. If there is atorsion spring or center bearing plate in
the way of the headerbracket,it may be installed within
4 feet (1.2 m)to the left or right of the door center.See
page 12.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
• ALWAYScalla trained door systems technician if garage door
binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalancedgaragedoor
may NOTreversewhen required.
• NEVERtryto loosen, move oradjust garage door, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware,ALL of
which are under EXTREMEtension.
• DisableALL locks and removeALL ropesconnected to

Planning
Identify the type and height ofyour garage door. Surveyyour
garageareato seeif anyof the conditions below applyto your
installation. Additional materialsmay be required.You mayfind it
helpful to referbackto this pageand the accompanying
illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements,there are severalinstallation
steps which may callfor materials or hardwarenot included in the
carton.
• Installation Step 1 - Look atthe wall or ceiling abovethe
garagedoor. The headerbracket must be securelyfastened to
structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your
garage? If so, a support bracketand additional fastening
hardwaremay be required.
• Installation Step 12 - Depending upon garageconstruction,
extension brackets or wood blocks may be neededto install
sensors.
• Installation Step 12 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety
reversing sensor will require hardwarenot provided.
Doyou havean access door in addition to the garage door? If
not, Model 139.53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.See
Accessoriespage.
Lookat the garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap
between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4" (6 ram).Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem maynot
work properly. SeeAdjustment Step2. Flooror door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION
• Doyou havea steel,aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement isrequired
(Installation Step8).
• Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door. If
there is atorsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of
the header bracket,it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 re)to
the left or right ofthe door center.SeeInstallation Steps 1
and 8.
• If your door is morethan 7 feet (2.13 re) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessoriespage.
SECTIONALDOORiNSTALLATiON

ONE-PIECEDOORINSTALLATIONS
• Generally,a one-piecedoor does not require reinforcement. If
your door is lightweight, referto the information relatingto
sectional doors in Installation Step8.
• Depending on your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket(Step8).
Without a properly working safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLED bya closing garage door.
• Thegap betweenthe bottom of the garagedoor and the
floor MUSTNOTexceed1/4" (6 mm).Otherwise,the safety

INSTALLATION STEP 1
DeterminetheHeaderBracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
•HeaderbracketMUSTbe RIGIDLYfastenedto structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header
bracketoverdrywall.
• Concreteanchors MUSTbe used if mounting headerbracket
or2x4 into masonry.
• NEVERtryto loosen, moveor adjust garagedoor, springs,
cables,pulleys, brackets,or their hardware,ALL of which are
under EXTREMEtension.
• ALWAYScall atrained door systems technician if garagedoor
binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced garage
door might NOTreversewhen required.
Installation proceduresvary according to garagedoor types.
Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Closethe door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the
garagedoor.
2. Extend the line onto the headerwall abovethe door.You can
fasten the header bracketwithin 4 feet (122 m) of the left
or right of the doorcenter only if atorsionspringor
center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to
the ceiling (see page 13) when clearance is minimal. (It
may he mounted on the wall upside down if necessary,to
gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm).If you need to installthe
headerbracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), uselag screws
(not provided) to securelyfastenthe 2x4 to structural
supports as shown hereand on page13.
3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall abovethe
high point:
• 2"(5 cm) abovethe high point for sectional door and one-
piecedoor with track.
• 8"(20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piece door without
track.
This height will provide travel clearancefor the top edge of the
door. NOTE:If the total number of inches exceedstheheight
availablein your garage,usethe maximum height possible, or

INSTALLATION STEP 8
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructionswhich apply to your door type as illustrated
below or on the following page.
Ahorizontal reinforcement brace should be long enoughto be
securedto two or three vertical supports.A vertical
reinforcementbrace shouldcoverthe height of the top panel.
Figure1 shows one pieceof angle iron asthe horizontal brace. For
the vertical brace,2 piecesof angle iron areusedto createa U-
shapedsupport. The best solution isto checkwith your garage
door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement
kit.
NOTE:Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment
of the clevispin and door arm. In this caseyou wifl not need the
door bracket; proceed to Step9.
SECTIONALDOORS
1. Centerthe door bracketon the previously markedvertical
centerline used for the headerbracket installation. Note
correct UPplacement,asstamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4"(5-10 cm) belowthe
top edge ofthe door, ORdirectly below any structural support
acrossthe top of the door.
3. Mark,drill holes and install asfollows, depending on your
door's construction:
Metal orlight weight doorsusing a vertical angle iron brace
between the doorpanel supportand the door bracket:
•Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Securethe door bracketusing the
two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws (Figure2A).
• Alternately, usetwo 5/16" bolts, lock washersand nuts (not
provided) (Figure2B).
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Securethe door bracketusing the
self-threading screws (Figure3).
WoodDoors:
• Usetop and bottom or side to sidedoor bracket holes. Drill
5/16" holes through the door and secure bracketwith 5/16"x2"
carriagebolts, lock washersand nuts (not provided)
(Figure4).
NOTE:The1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws arenot intended for
use on wood doors.

(Figure1).
3. Fastencurved section to the door bracketin the sameway,
using the 5/16"xl -1/4" clevis pin.
4. Bring armsections together. Findtwo pairsof holesthat line
up and join sections. Select holesasfar apart as possible to
increasedoor arm rigidity (Figure2).
Hole alignment alternative (Figure 3):
•If holes in curved armareabove holes in straight arm,
disconnect straight arm. Cutabout 6"(15 cm) from the solid
end. Reconnectto trolley with cut end down asshown.
• Bring armsections together.
• Findtwo pairsof holesthat line up and join with bolts, lock
washersand nuts.
