Preparing your garage door WARNING Before you begin: • Disable locks. • Remove any ropes connected to garage door. • Complete the following test to make sure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding: 1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs. 2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.
Planning WARNING 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. Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
Carton Inventory purchased. If anything is missing, carefully check the packing material. Parts may be stuck in the foam. Hardware for installation is also listed below. Your garage door opener is packaged in two cartons which contain the motor unit and all parts illustrated below.
WARNING CAUTION ASSEMBLY STEP 1 Attach the Rail to the Motor Unit To avoid SERIOUS damage to opener, ONLY use bolts/fasteners mounted in top of motor unit. To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so. • Place the opener on packing material to protect the cover. • Remove the (2) 5/16"-18x1/2" washered bolts mounted in the top of the motor unit. • Position rail at a 45˚ angle to opener so one hole in rail and motor unit line up.
ASSEMBLY STEP 3 Outer Nut Tighten the Chain Lock Washer Inner Nut To Tighten Outer Nut • Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the threaded shaft, away from the trolley. • To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction shown. As you turn the nut, keep the chain from twisting. • When the chain is approximately 1/2" (1.27 cm) above the base of the rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment. Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too loose or too tight.
INSTALLATION STEP 1 Determine the Header Bracket Location Unfinished Ceiling WARNING WARNING Header Wall To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: • Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall. • Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
INSTALLATION STEP 2 Install the Header Bracket Wall Mounting Holes You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided). CEILING MOUNT ONLY The nail hole is for positioning only. You must use lag screws to mount the header bracket.
INSTALLATION STEP 3 Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket • Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base. NOTE: If the door spring is in the way you’ll need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring. • Position the chain pulley bracket against the header bracket. • Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as shown. • Insert a ring fastener to secure.
WARNING CAUTION INSTALLATION STEP 4 Position the Opener To prevent damage to garage door, rest garage door opener rail on 2x4 placed on top section of door. SECTIONAL DOOR ONLY A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail distance. • Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help at this point if the ladder is not tall enough. • Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat on the top section beneath the rail.
WARNING WARNING INSTALLATION CAUTION STEP 6 WARNING Install the Door Control To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution: • Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door control. • Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires. To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door: • Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m), and away from all moving parts of door.
WARNING INSTALLATION STEP 7 CAUTION Install the Light To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or light socket, • DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs. • DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY incandescent. • Install a 75 watt maximum light bulb in the socket. The light will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the light will turn OFF. • If the bulb burns out prematurely due to vibration, replace with a “Garage Door Opener” bulb.
INSTALLATION WARNING STEP 9 WARNING Electrical Requirements To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire: • Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection. • Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with all local electrical and building codes. • NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
WARNING INSTALLATION STEP 10 Install The Protector System ® • Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor. • To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door: – Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled. – Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
INSTALLING THE BRACKETS Figure 1, 2 and 3 show recommended assembly of bracket(s) and “C” wrap based on the wall installation of the sensors on each side of the garage door as shown on page 15, or on the garage door tracks themselves. Figure 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.
MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS • Center each sensor unit in a “C” wrap with lenses pointing toward each other across the door (see Figure 6). • Secure sensors with the hardware shown. Finger tighten the wing nut on the receiving eye to allow for final adjustment. Securely tighten the sending eye wing nut. • Run the wires from both sensors to the opener (see Figure 7). Use insulated staples to secure the wire to wall and ceiling. • Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.
WARNING CAUTION INSTALLATION STEP 11 Fasten the Door Bracket Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket. Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit. A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should cover the height of the top panel. The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace.
INSTALLATION STEP 12 Inner Trolley Connect Door Arm to Trolley Outer Trolley SECTIONAL DOORS ONLY • Make sure garage door is fully closed. Pull the emergency release handle to disconnect the outer trolley from the inner trolley. Slide the outer trolley back (away from the door) about 2" (5 cm) as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. • Figure 1: – Fasten straight door arm section to outer trolley with the 5/16"x1" clevis pin. Secure the connection with a ring fastener.
WARNING ADJUSTMENT STEP 1 Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel Limits Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. • Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. • If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. • After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested.
WARNING ADJUSTMENT STEP 2 Adjust the Force Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. • Too much force on garage door will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. • NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close garage door. • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
WARNING ADJUSTMENT STEP 3 Test the Safety Reversal System Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. • Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month. • If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. • After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.
