The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end. The rail tab MUST be on
top of the rail when assembled.
-
Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 9.
NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section. -
Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.
-
Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top. For convenience, put a support under the front end of the rail.
-
As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole in the second rail section from the motor unit, as shown.
-
Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose during shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.
-
Slide the trolley assembly toward the screwdriver as shown.
-
Slide the rail onto the “U” bracket, until it reaches all the stops on the top and sides of the “U” bracket.
STEP 2 Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit
CAUTION
To avoid SERIOUS damage to garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners
mounted in the top of the opener.
- Insert a 1/4”-20 x 1-3/4” bolt into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a1/4”-20 lock nut. DO NOT overtighten.
- Remove the bolts from the top of the motor unit.
- Use the carton to support the front end of the rail.
- Place the “U” bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket holes with the bolt holes.
- Fasten the “U” bracket with the previously removed bolts; DO NOT use any power tools. The use of power tools may permanently damage the garage door opener.
STEP 3 Install the Idler Pulley

-
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
STEP 1 Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
- Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.
- Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2×4 into masonry.
- NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
- ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
- Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
- 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 16) 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 2×4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2×4 tostructural supports as shown here and on page 16.
- Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall 2” (5 cm) 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 16 for ceiling
installation. STEP 2 Install the Header Bracket
You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or
to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your
particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If
installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided). OPTION A – WALL INSTALLATION
- Center the bracket on the vertical center line with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
- Mark the vertical set of bracket holes. Drill 3/16” pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.
OPTION B – CEILING INSTALLATION
- Extend the vertical centerline onto the ceiling as shown.
- Center the bracket on the vertical mark, no more than 6” (15 cm) from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing away from the wall. The bracket can be mounted flush against the ceiling when clearance is minimal.
- Mark the side holes. Drill 3/16” pilot holes and fasten bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.
WALL INSTALLATION CEILING INSTALLATION STEP 3 Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket
-
Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base.
NOTE: If the door spring is in the way, you will need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring. -
Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.
-
Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as shown.
-
Insert a ring fastener to secure.
STEP 4 Position the Garage Door Opener
CAUTION
To prevent damage to garage door, rest garage door opener rail on 2×4 placed
on top section of door.
- Remove the packing material and lift the garage door opener onto a ladder.
- Fully open the door and place a 2×4 (laid flat) under the rail. For one-piece doors without tracks, lay the 2×4 on its side.
NOTE: A 2×4 is ideal for setting the distance between the rail and the
door. If the ladder is not tall enough you will need help at this point. If
the door hits the trolley when it is raised, pull the trolley release arm down
to disconnect the inner and outer trolley. Slide the outer trolley toward the
garage door opener. The trolley can remain disconnected until
instructed. STEP 5 Hang the Garage Door Opener
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage door opener, fasten it
SECURELY to structural supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used
if installing ANY brackets into masonry.
Hanging the garage door opener will vary depending on your garage. Below are
three example installations.
Your installation may be different. For ALL installations the garage door
opener MUST be connected to structural supports. The instructions illustrate
one of the examples below.
- On finished ceilings, use the lag screws to attach a support bracket (not provided) to the structural supports before installing the garage door opener.
- Make sure the garage door opener is aligned with the header bracket. Measure the distance from each side of the garage door opener to the support bracket.
- Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket (not provided) to required lengths.
- A ttach the end of each hanging bracket to the support bracket with appropriate hardware (not provided).
- Attach the garage door opener to the hanging brackets with the hex bolts, lock washers, and nuts.
- Remove the 2×4 and manually close the door. If the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket. EXAMPLES
STEP 6 Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:
- If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
- NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
- NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
- Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1” (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
- Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor, avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure the emergency
release rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid
entanglement. STEP 7 Install the Door Bracket
CAUTION
Fiberglass, aluminum or light weight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE
reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket. Contact the garage door
manufacturer or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or
reinforcement kit. Failure to reinforce the top section as required according
to the door manufacturer may void the door warranty.
A horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for light weight garage
doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel, doors with glass panel, etc.) (not
provided). A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be
secured to two or three vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace
should cover the height of the top panel. Contact the garage door manufacturer
or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or reinforcement
kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis
pin and door arm. In this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to
the next step.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Safety & Maintenance Guide
Garage Door Opener Safety–An Automatic Decision
A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted
garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes – which
could lead to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.
Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door
and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system.
Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener
controls are also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few
simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm.
Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this guide carefully and keep
it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure
they function in a safe and trouble-free manner. Be sure to read all Important
Safety Information found in your garage door opener’s manual as it provides
more details and safety considerations than can be supplied with this guide.
Garage Door Openers are Not Toys
Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger
of being trapped under the door.
Stay away from a moving door. Keep transmitters and
remote controls out of reach of children.
Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control
devices. The wall-mounted push button should be
out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface
and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly
see the closing garage door. Keep the door in sight until it completely
closes when using the wall-mounted push button or transmitter.
Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a
part of your regular routine. Review your owner’s manual for both the door and
door opener. If you don’t have the owner’s manuals, contact the
manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the
opener model number on the back of the power unit.
WARNING–SPRINGS ARE UNDER HIGH TENSION. ONLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS SHOULD
ADJUST THEM.
Visually check the door and installation:
- Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
- Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
- These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
- If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
- Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6” from the garage floor.
Test the door for proper operation:
- Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
- The door should move freely and without difficulty.
- The door should balance and stay partially open 3–4 feet above the floor.
- If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
Test the opener safety features:
- Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
- Place a 2×4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2×4 and then reverse direction.
- Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
- If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
