Identify the type and height of your garagedoor. Surveyyour
garage areato 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 pageandthe 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 be securelyfastenedto
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 may be neededto install
sensors.
• Installation Step 12- 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 garagedoorwhere it meetsthe floor. Any gap
betweenthe floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,the safety reversalsystem may not
work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 2. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONALDOORINSTALLATIONS
• Doyou havea steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glasspaneldoor?
If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required
(Installation Step8).
• Theopenershould be installed abovethe center of the door. If
there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in theway of
the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet(1.22 m) to
the left or right of the door center.SeeInstallation Steps 1
and 8.
• If your door is morethan 7 feet (2.13 m) high, seerail
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.

• Dependingon your door's construction, you may need
additional mounting hardwarefor the door bracket (Step8).
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

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determinethe HeaderBracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
• HeaderbracketMUST beRIGIDLYfastenedto structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might NOTreversewhen required. DONOTinstall header
bracket over drywall.
• 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 NOT reversewhen required.
Installation procedures vary according to garagedoor types.
Follow the instructions which applyto your door.
1. Closethe door and markthe insidevertical centerline of the

center bearingplate is in theway; or youcanattach itto the
ceiling (see page 13) whenclearanceis minimal. (It may be
mountedon thewall upsidedownif necessary,to gain
approximately1/2" (1 cm).)
If you needto install the headerbracket ona 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 line on 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
