finished ceilings, Figure 2, attach a sturdy metal
bracket to structural supports in ceiling before
installing the opener. The bracket and fastening
hardware are not provided. See accessory page 34.
• Measure the distance from each side of the opener
to the structural support.
• Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
• Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
• Attach one end of each bracket to a supportwith
5/16"-18xl-5/8" lag screws.
• Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex screws, lock washers and nuts.
• Check to make sure the rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
• Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the
door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
