Assembly

STEP 1 Assemble the rail and trolley

To preventINJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingersaway from the joints while assembling the

rail.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

The front rail hasa cut out“window” at the door end (see illustration). The hole above this window is

larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom.A smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail

edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from

the far end.

1. Remove the straightdoor 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.

2. Align the rail sectionson a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger

ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.

3. Place the motor uniton packing material to protectthe cover,and restthe back end of the rail

on top. For convenience, put a supportunder the frontend of the rail.

4. As a temporary stop, inserta screwdriver into the hole 10" (25 cm) from the frontend of the rail,

as shown.

5. Checkto be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley.If they became loose

during shipping, checkall packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.

6. Slide the trolley assembly toward the screwdriver as shown.

7. Slide the rail onto the “U” bracket, until it reaches all the stops on the top and sides of the “U”

bracket.

Installation

STEP 1 Determine the header bracket location

To preventpossible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Header bracketMUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling,

otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracketover

drywall.

• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.

• NEVER tryto 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 systemstechnician 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. Followthe instructions which apply to your

door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline 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 orright 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 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 bracketon a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling),use lag screws (not

provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports.

3. Open your door to the highestpointof 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 ofthe door.NOTE:If the total number of inches

exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 12 for

ceiling installation.

Installation

STEP 8 Install the door bracket

Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILLREQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE

installation of door bracket. Contactyour door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.

Figure 1 showsone piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace.For the vertical brace,2 pieces of angle

iron are used to create a U-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door

manufacturer for an opener installation door 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.

A horizontal and vertical reinforcementis needed for

ghtweight garage doors (ﬁ

berglass, 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.
