2. Raiseand lower the door to seeif 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 a trained door systems technician if garage

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

garagedoor may not reversewhen 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 avoid entanglement.

To prevent damageto garage door and opener:

• ALWAYSdisable locks BEFOREinstalling and operatingthe

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.

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 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

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

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

refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the

outlet you have, contact a qualified electricianto install the proper

outlet.

* DisconnectALL electric and battery power BEFORE

performing ANY serviceor maintenance.

. Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance

with ALL local electrical and building codes.

. NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change

plug in ANYway to make it fit outlet. Besure the opener is

grounded.

PERMANENT WIRING

If permanent wiringis requiredbyyourlocal code,refer to the

followingprocedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in the top

of the motor unit:

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

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.
