INTRODUCTION

Safety Symboland Signal Word Review

This garage door opener has beendesignedand tested to offer safeserviceprovided it is installed, operated,maintained and tested in

strict accordancewith the instructions and warnings contained in this manual.

Mechanical

Electrical

Whenyou seethese SafetySymbols and Signal Words on the

following pages,they will alertyou to the possibility of serious

balanced,it should stay in place, supported entirely by its

springs.

2. Raiseand lower the door to see if there is any binding or

sticking.

If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance,call a trained door

systems technician.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:

* ALWAYScall atrained door systems technician if garage

door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced

garagedoor may NOTreversewhen required.

, NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garagedoor, door

springs, cables,pulleys, brackets or their hardware,ALL of

which are under EXTREMEtension.

, DisableALL locks and removeALL ropes connectedto

garagedoor BEFOREinstalling and operating garagedoor

opener to avoidentanglement.

To prevent damageto garage door and opener:

* ALWAYSdisable locks BEFOREinstalling and operatingthe

opener.

, ONLYoperate garagedoor opener at 120V, 60 Hzto avoid

malfunction and damage.

identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour

garageareato 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 andthe accompanying

illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.

Dependingon your requirements,there are several installation

steps which may call for materialsor hardwarenot included in the

carton.

• Installation Step 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe

garagedoor. Theheader bracketmust besecurelyfastenedto

structural supports.

• Installation Step 5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your

garage? if so, a support bracketand additional fastening

hardware may be required.

• installation Step 12- Dependingupon garageconstruction,

extension brackets or wood blocks maybe neededto install

sensors.

• installation Step 12- Alternate floor mounting of the safety

reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.

Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garage door? if

not, Model 139.53702 EmergencyKey Releaseis required. See

Accessoriespage.

Look at the garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap

betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed

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

work properly. SeeAdjustment Step2. Flooror door should be

repaired.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS

• Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?

if so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required

(installation Step 8).

• Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door. if

there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of

the headerbracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m) to

the left or right of the door center.See installation Steps 1

and 8.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail

extension kits listed on Accessories page.

SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement is

neededfor lightweight garage doors

(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with glass

panels, etc.) See page 18 for details.

ONE-PIECEDOORINSTALLATIONS

* Generally,a one-piecedoor does not require reinforcement, if

your door is lightweight, refer to the information relatingto

sectional doors in Installation Step 8.

* Dependingonyour door's construction, you may need

additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket (Step8).

Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor

KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.

* Thegap betweenthe bottom of the garage door and the

floor MUST NOTexceed1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety

reversalsystem may NOTwork properly.

* Thefloor or the garage door MUSTbe repairedto eliminate

iNSTALLATiON STEP 1

Determine the HeaderBracketLocation

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:

* HeaderbracketMUST be RIGIDLYfastenedto structural

support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor

might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header

bracket overdrywall.

. Concreteanchors MUSTbe usedif mounting headerbracket

or 2x4 into masonry.

. NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garagedoor, springs,

cables, pulleys,brackets, or their hardware,ALL of which are

under EXTREMEtension.

. ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if garage

door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced

garagedoor might NOTreversewhen required.

Installation procedures vary accordingto garagedoor types.

Follow the instructions which applyto your door.

1. Closethe door and mark the inside vertical centefline of the

garagedoor.

2. Extendthe line onto the headerwail abovethe door.

You canfasten the headerbracketwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) of

the left or rightof the door center only if a torsionspringor

center bearingplate is in theway; or youcan attach itto the

ceiling (see page 13) when clearanceis minimal. (it may

be mountedon thewait upsidedown if necessary,to gain

approximately 1/2" (1 cm).)

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

ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securelyfasten the

2x4 to structural supports as shown hereand on page13.

3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw

an intersecting horizontal lineon 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 heightwill provide travel clearancefor the top edgeof the

door.

NOTE:If the totalnumber of inches exceedsthe heightavailable

in your garage,use themaximum height possible, or refer to

page 13for ceiling installation.

Figure1 shows one pieceof angle iron asthe horizontal brace.

Forthe vertical brace,2 pieces of angle iron are used to create a

U-shapedsupport. The best solution is to checkwith your garage

door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement

kit.

NOTE:Many doorreinforcement kits provide for direct

attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this caseyou will

not needthe door bracket, proceed to Step9.

centerline usedfor the header bracketinstallation. Notecorrect

UPplacement, as stamped insidethe bracket.

2. Position thetop edge of the bracket2"-4"(5-10 cm) below the

top edge of the door, ORdirectly below anystructural support

acrossthe top of the door.

3. Mark, drift holes and install asfollows, depending on your

door's construction:

Metal or light weight doorsusing a vertical angle iron brace

betweenthe doorpanel support andthe doorbracket:

* Drill 3/16"fastening holes. Securethe door bracket using the

two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws (Figure2A).

* Alternately, usetwo 5/16" bolts, lock washers andnuts

(not provided) (Figure 2B).

Metal, insulated or light weight factoryreinforced doors:

* Drill 3/16"fastening holes. Securethe door bracket using the
