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 11 - Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 11 - 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 7702CB 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 (2.1 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 24 for details.

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 13) 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
above the high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top
edge of the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the
height available in your garage, use the maximum
height possible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling
installation.

height of 5 feet (1.5 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 cover by gently prying at slot in top of the
cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten with
6ABx1-1/4" 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 overtighten.
• 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.
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 trolley will travel to the full open position
but will not return to the close position until the sensor
beam is connected and properly aligned.
