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 mayfind it
helpfulto refer backto this pageand the accompanying
illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation ofyour opener.
Dependingon your requirements, there areseveralinstallation
steps which maycallfor materialsor hardwarenot includedin the
carton.
Installation Step 1- Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe garage
door. Theheaderbracketmust be securelyfastenedto
structural supports.
Installation Step 5- Doyou haveafinished ceiling in your
garage? If so,asupport bracketand additional fastening
hardwaremay be required.
Installation Step 10- Dependingupon garageconstruction,
extension bracketsor wood blocks may be neededto install
sensors.
Installation Step 10 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety
reversing sensorwill require hardwarenot provided.
Doyou havean accessdoor in addition to the garagedoor?
If not, Model 53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.See
Accessoriespage.
Look atthe garagedoor where it meetsthe floor. Any gap
betweenthefloor andthe bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem maynot
work properly.SeeAdjustment Step3. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS
Doyou havea steel,aluminum, fiberglass or glass paneldoor?
If so,horizontal andvertical reinforcement is required
(Installation Step11).
Theopenershould be installed abovethe centerof the door.
If there isa torsion spring or centerbearingplatein theway of
the headerbracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m) to
the left or right of the door center.SeeInstallation Steps 1
and 11.
If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high,see rail extension
kits listed onAccessoriespage.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement is
neededfor lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc.). See page 23 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 Step11.
Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket(Step 11).
Without a properly working safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.
Thegap betweenthe bottom of the garagedoor and thefloor
MUSTNOTexceed1/4"(6 mm). Otherwise,the safetyreversal
system may NOTwork properly.
Thefloor or the garagedoor MUSTbe repairedto eliminate
the gap.

Threerepresentativeinstallations areshown. Yours may be
different. Hangingbracketsshould be angled (Figure1) to provide
rigid support. Onfinished ceilings (Figure2 and Figure3), attach
a sturdy metal bracketto structural supports before installing the
opener.This bracketand fastening hardwareare not provided.
1. Measurethe distancefrom eachsideof the motor unit to the
structural support.
2. Cut both piecesof the hanging bracketto required lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holesin the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of eachbracketto a support with
5/16"-18xl-7/8" lagscrews.
5. Fastenthe openerto the hanging brackets with 5/16"-18x7/8"
hex bolts, lock washersand nuts.
6. Checkto makesure the rail is centeredover the door (or in line
with the headerbracketif the bracket is not centeredabovethe
door).
7. Removethe 2x4. Operatethe door manually. If the door hits the
rail, raisethe headerbracket.
NOTE:DONOTconnectpower to openerat this time.
To avoidpossible SERIOUSINJURYfrom a falling garage door
opener,fasten it SECURELYto structural supports of the
garage.Concreteanchors MUSTbe used if installing ANY
brackets into masonry.

Install the DoorControl
Locate door control within sight of door, ata minimum heightof
5 feet (1.52 m) where smallchildren cannot reach,awayfrom
moving partsof door anddoor hardware.
1. Strip 1/4"(6 mm) of insulation from one end of bell wire and

color: whitewire to 2 and white/red wire to the 1.
2. Fastenthe door control button securelywith 6ABx1-1/2"
screws. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holesand usethe
anchors provided.
3. Runbell wire up wall andacrossceiling to motor unit. Use
insulated staplesto securewire in several places.Donot pierce
wire with astaple,creating ashort or opencircuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire. Connect
the bell wire to the terminal screwsonthe motor unit panel:
white to 2; white/red to 1.
5. Position theantennawire as shown.
6. Usetacks or staplesto permanentlyattach entrapmentwarning
label to wall near door control, and manualrelease/safety
reversetest labelin aprominent location on inside of garage
door.
NOTE:DONOTconnect thepower and operatethe opener at this
time. Thetrolley will travel to thefurl open position but will not
return to the closeposition until thesensor beamis connected
and properly aligned.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution: parts of door.
Besure power is NOTconnected BEFOREinstalling door
control.
ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltagewires.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garage door:
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 partsof door.
NEVERpermit children to operateor playwith door control
pushbuttons or remote control transmitters.
Activate door ONLYwhen it can beseenclearly, is properly

Electrica/ Requirements
Toavoidinstallationdifficulties,do notruntheopenerat this
time.
To reducethe risk of electricshock, your garagedoor opener hasa
grounding typeplug with athird grounding pin. Thisplug will only
fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet
you have,contact aqualifiedelectricianto install the proper outlet.
If permanent wiring isrequiredbyyourlocalcode,refer tothe
followingprocedure.
Tomake a permanent connectionthrough the 7/8" hole in the top
of the motor unit:
Removethe motor unit coverscrews andset the cover aside.
Removethe attached3-prong cord.
Connectthe black (line) wire to the screwon the brassterminal;
thewhite (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and
theground wire to the greenground screw. The openermust
begrounded.
Reinstallthe cover.
Toavoidinstallationdifficulties,do notruntheopenerat this
time.
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution orfire:
Besure poweris NOTconnectedto the opener,and
disconnect powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanentwiring connection.
Garagedoor installation andwiring MUSTbein compliance
with ALL localelectricaland building codes.
NEVERusean extensioncord, 2-wire adapter,orchange

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
Whenproperly connected andaligned, thesensor will detectan
obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam.Thesending eye(with
an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the
receiving eye(with agreenindicator light). If an obstruction
breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop
and reverseto full open position, andthe openerlights will flash
10 times.
Theunits must be installed insidethe garageso that 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 aslong asthe sun nevershines directly into the
receiving eyelens.
Themounting brackets are designedto clip ontothe track of
sectionalgarage doors without additional hardware.
Besure power is NOTconnectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.
To preventSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.This
requiredsafety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
Installthe safety reversingsensor so beam is NOHIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units onthe wall,the bracketsmust
be securelyfastenedto a solid surfacesuch asthe wall framing.
Extensionbrackets (seeAccessories) are availableif needed.If
installing in masonry construction, addapieceof wood ateach
location to avoiddrilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is
necessary.
Theinvisible light beampathmust be unobstructed. No part of the
garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
