Identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour

garageareato seeif any of the conditions below applyto your

installation. Additional materials may be required.You may find it

helpfulto refer backto this pageand the accompanying

illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation ofyour opener.

Dependingon your requirements, thereare several installation

steps which may call for materials or hardwarenot included in the

carton.

• Installation Step 1- Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe garage

door. The headerbracketmust besecurely fastenedto structural

supports.

• Installation Step5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your

garage? If so, a support bracketand additional fastening

hardwaremay be required.

• Installation Step 10- Dependingupon garage construction,

extension bracketsor wood blocks may be neededto install

sensors.

• Installation Step 10- Alternate floor mounting of the safety

reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.

Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garagedoor? If

not, Model53702 OutsideQuick Releaseis required.See

Accessories page.

Look atthe garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap

betweenthefloor and the bottom of the door must not exceed

1/4" (6mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem may not

work properly. SeeAdjustment Step3. Flooror door should be

repaired.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Doyou havea steel,aluminum, fiberglass or glass paneldoor?

If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required

(Installation Step11).

• The openershould be installed abovethe center of the door. If

there is a torsion spring or center bearing platein theway of the

headerbracket, it may be installedwithin 4 feet (1.2 m) to the

left or right of the door center.See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.1 m) high, see rail extension

kits listed on Accessoriespage.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement

is neededfor lightweight garage doors

(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with

glass panels, etc.). Seepage 23 for details.

ONE-PIECEDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Generally,a one-piecedoor doesnot require reinforcement. If

your door is lightweight, referto the information relating to

sectional doors in Installation Step11.

• Dependingon your door's construction, you may need

additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket(Step 11).

Without a properlyworking safety reversalsystem, persons

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor

KILLEDby a closing garage door.

• The gap betweenthe bottom of the garagedoor and the

floor MUSTNOTexceed1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety

reversalsystem may NOTwork properly.

• Thefloor orthe garagedoor MUSTbe repairedto eliminate

the gap.

Follow the instructions which applyto your door.

1. Closethe door and mark the insidevertical centerline of the

garagedoor.

2. Extendthe line onto the headerwall abovethe door.

Youcanfastenthe headerbracketwithin4 feet (1.22 m) of

theleft or rightofthe doorcenter onlyif a torsionspringor

centerbearingplate isin the way;or youcanattachittothe

ceiling(see page 13) when clearanceisminimal. (It may be

mountedonthewall upsidedownif necessary,to gain

approximately1/2"(13 ram).

If you needto install the headerbracketon a 2x4 (on wall or

3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an

intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall abovethe high

point:

• 2"(5 cm) abovethe high point for sectionaldoor and one-

piecedoor with track.

• 8"(20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piecedoor without

track.

This height will providetravel clearancefor the top edgeofthe

INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install theDoorControl

Locatedoor control within sight of door, at a minimum heightof 5

feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach,awayfrom moving

parts of door and door hardware. If installing into drywall, drill

5/32" holesand usethe anchors provided.

1. Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulationfrom one endof bell wire and

connectto the two terminal screws on back of door control by

color: white to 2 and white/red to 1.

2. DoorControlButton:Fastensecurelywith screws 6ABx1-1/2".

3. (Forstandardinstallationonly)Runbell wire upwall and

acrossceiling to motor unit. Useinsulated staplesto secure

wire in severalplaces.Do not piercewire with a staple, creating

a short or opencircuit.

4. Connectthe bell wire to theterminal screws on the motor unit

panel:white to 2;white/red to 1.

5. Position the antennawire asshown.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution:

• Besure power is NOTconnectedBEFOREinstalling door

control.

• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing

garagedoor:

• Install door control within sight of garagedoor, out of reach

of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m), and away

from ALL moving parts of door.

• NEVERpermit children to operateor playwith door control

push buttons or remote control transmitters.

To reducethe risk of electric shock, your garagedoor opener hasa

grounding type plug with athird grounding pin. This plug will only

fit into agroundingtype outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet

you have,contact a qualified electricianto installthe proper outlet.

RIGHT @ WRONG

If permanent wiring isrequiredby yourlocal code,refer tothe

following procedure.

To make a permanent connectionthrough the 7/8" holein the top

of the motor unit:

• Removethe motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.

• Removethe attached3-prong cord.

• Connectthe black (line) wire to the screw on the brassterminal;

thewhite (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and

theground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must

be grounded.

• Reinstallthe cover.

To avoidinstallationdifficulties,do notruntheopenerat this

time.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is NOTconnectedto the opener,and

disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving coverto

establishpermanent wiring connection.

direction.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned,the sensor will detectan

obstacle in the path of its electronic beam.Thesending eye(with

an green indicator light) transmits an invisiblelight beamto the

receivingeye(with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks

the light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop and

reverseto full open position, and the opener lights will flash

10 times.

The units must be installed insidethe garage sothat the sending

and receivingeyesface eachother acrossthe door, no more than

6" (15 cm) abovethe floor. Eithercan be installed on the left or

right of the door as long asthe sun nevershines directly into the

receivingeyelens.

The mounting bracketsare designedto clip onto thetrack of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Besure poweris NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener

BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage

door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.This

requiredsafety device MUSTNOTbedisabled.

• Installthe safety reversingsensor so beam is NOHIGHER

than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on thewall, the brackets must

be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall framing.

Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories)are availableif needed.If

installing in masonryconstruction, add a pieceof wood at each

location to avoiddrilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is

necessary.

Theinvisible light beam pathmust be unobstructed. No partof the

garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware)may interrupt the beamwhile the door isclosing.
