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 referback to this pageand the accompanying
illustrations asyou proceedwith the installation of your opener.
Dependingon your requirements,there are several installation
steps which may call for materialsor hardware not included in
the carton.
* Installation Step 1 - Lookat the wall or ceiling abovethe
garagedoor. Theheader bracketmust be securelyfastenedto
structural supports.
. Installation Step 5 - Doyou havea finished ceiling in your
garage? If so, a support bracket and additionalfastening
hardware may be required.
* Installation Step 11 - Dependingupon garageconstruction,
extension brackets or wood blocks may be neededto install
sensors.
* Installation Step 11 - Alternate floor mounting of the safety
reversingsensor will require hardwarenot provided.
Doyou havean access door in addition to the garagedoor? If
not, Model 139.53702 EmergencyKeyReleaseis required.See
Accessoriespage.
Lookat the garage door 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 Step 3. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION
Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required
(Installation Step 12).
Theopener should be installed abovethe center of the door. If
there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of
the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m)
to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1
and 12.
If your door is morethan 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessoriespage.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc.). See page 23 for details.

Generally,a one-piecedoor does not require reinforcement. If
your door is lightweight, refer to the information relatingto
sectional doors in Installation Step 12.
Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket (Step 12).
Without a properly working safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.
Thegap betweenthe bottom of the garage door and the floor

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determinethe HeaderBracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
* HeaderbracketMUST be rigidly fastenedto structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might not reversewhen required. DONOTinstall header
bracket over drywall.
Concreteanchors must be used if mounting header bracket
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 not reversewhen required.
Installation procedures vary according to garagedoor types.
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.
Youcanfastentheheader bracketwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) of
the leftor rightofthe doorcenter onlyif a torsionspringor
centerbearingplate is in theway; or youcanattachit to the
ceiling(see page 13) whenclearanceis minimal. (It may be
mountedon thewall upsidedownif necessary,to gain
approximately1/2" (1 cm).)
If you need to install the headerbracket on a 2x4 (on wall or
ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fastenthe
2x4 to structural supports asshown here and on page 13.
3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall abovethe
high point:
2" (5 cm) abovethe high point for sectional door and
one-piecedoor with track.
8" (20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piecedoor without
track.
This height will providetravel clearancefor the top edge of the
door.
NOTE:If the total number of inches exceedstheheight
availablein your garage,use the maximum height possible, or

Thesafety reversingsensormustbe connectedand aligned
correctlybeforethe garagedooropenerwill movein the down
direction.
IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETY
REVERSINGSENSOR
When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an
obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam. Thesending eye (with
an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the
receiving eye (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.
Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending
and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan
6" (15 cm) abovethefloor. Either can be installed on the left or
right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the
receiving eye lens.
Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of
sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.
Besure power is not connectedto the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:
Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This
required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.
Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets
must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such asthe wall
framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailableif
needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood
at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if
repositioning is necessary.
Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of
the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other
hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.
