WARNING CAUTION
Ropes left on a garage door could cause
someone to become entangled and killed.
Remove all ropes connected to the door
before installing and operating the opener.
To avoid damage to the garage door and
opener, disable locks before installing and
operating the opener. Use a wood screw or
nail to hold locks in the “open” (unlocked)
position.

opener malfunction and damage.
Before you begin, complete the following test to make sure your door is balances, and is not sticking
or binding; identify the type and height of your door and any special conditions that exist and any
additional materials that may be required by referring to the lists on pages 4 and 5.
• Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. It should stay in place, supported entirely by springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.
An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when required and someone under the door could be
seriously injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call for professional garage door service. Garage
doors, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware, are under extreme tension and can
cause serious injury or death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust them yourself!

Assembly Section: Pages 8-11
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do
so.
Assembly Step 1
Assemble the T-rail & Attach
the Cable Pulley Bracket
• Align the 4-rail sections on a flat surface
exactly as shown. Center sections are
interchangeable for ease of assembly.
• Insert the carriage bolts so the square bolt
necks seat in the square holes in the T-
rail sections and pass through the round
holes in the rail braces. Assemble lock
nuts, ensure alignment and tighten.
If T-rail is not assembled exactly as
shown, trolley will not travel
smoothly along length of rail or it
will hit against the nuts.
Make sure bolt
necks are seated in
the square holes
and rails are
aligned before you
tighten lock nuts.
(See right and
wrong
views).Improper
assembly can
cause jerky trolley
operation, noise
and/or nuisance
door reversals.
• Position the cable pulley on the front
end of the T-rail as shown. Fasten
securely with the hardware shown.
When tightening the
screws, be sure to
keep bracket parallel
to the rail. Otherwise,
the rail may bow when
the opener is
operated.

Assembly Step 2
Install the Trolley on the T-rail
Assembly Step 3
Fasten the T-rail to the Opener
• Place the opener on packing material to protect
the cover. For convenience, put a support under
the cable pulley bracket.
• Remove the (2) 5/16”-18x1/2” washered screws
mounted in the top of the opener.
• Align the holes in the back section of the T-rail
with the holes in the opener.
Fasten the rail with the (2) washered screws
previously removed. Tighten securely.
Remember to use only these screws! Any
other screws will cause serious damage to the
opener.
• Insert a 5/16”-18x7/8” hex screw into the trolley
stop hole in the T-rail as shown. tighten securely
with a 5/16” lock washer and nut. This screw
limits trolley travel in the Up direction.
CAUTION
Use only those screws mounted in
the top of the opener. Any other
screws will cause serious damage to
the opener.

• As a temporary stop, insert a
screwdriver into the hole in the
front end of the T-rail.
• Slide the trolley assembly along
the rail to the screwdriver stop.
•
If trolley hits against the nut on
the T-rail, the bolts and nuts
were attacked from the wrong
side and must be repositioned.
