Preparing your garage door Before you begin: • Disable locks. To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH: • ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance An unbalanced garage door may not reverse when required • NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, all of which are under EXTREMEtension • Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
Planning Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey your garage area to 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 page and the accompanying illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener. Depending on your requirements there are several installation steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the carton.
Planning (Continued) ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS • Generally, a one-piece door does not require reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to the information relating to sectional doors in Installation Step 11. • Depending on your door's construction, you may need additional mounting hardware for the door bracket (Step 11). Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLED by a closing garage door.
Carton Inventory Your garage door opener is packaged in one carton which contains the motor unit and all parts illustrated below. Accessories will depend on the model purchased. If anything is missing, carefully check the packing material. Parts may be stuck in the foam. Hardware for assembly and installation is shown on the next page. Save the carton and packing material until installation and adjustment is complete.
Hardware Inventory Separate all hardware and group as shown below for the assembly and installation procedures.
ASSEMBLY Assemble STEP 1 the Rail & Install the Trolley To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so. To prevent INJURYfrom pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail. The front rail has a 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.
ASSEMBLY Fasten the STEP Rail 2 to the Motor Unit To avoid SERIOUSdamageto garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners mounted in the top of the opener. • Insert a 1/4"-20xl-3/4 bolt into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 1/4"-20 lock nut. Do NOTovertighten. • Remove the two bolts from the top of the motor unit. • Place the "U" bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket hole with the bolt holes.
ASSEMBLY Install the STEP 4 Chain/Cable To avoid possible SERIOUSINJURYto fingers from moving garage door opener: • ALWAYSkeep hand clear of sprocket while operating opener. • Securely attach chain spreader BEFOREoperating. 1. Pull the cable around the idler pulley and toward the trolley. 2.
