Check the Door

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:

lALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An

unbalanced garage door may NOT reverse when required.

lNEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their

hardware, ALLof which are under EXTREME tension.

lDisable ALLlocks and remove ALLropes connected to garage door BEFORE installation and operating

garage door opener to avoid entanglement.

lDO NOT install on a one-piece door if using devices or features providing unattended close.

Unattended devices and features are to be used ONLY with sectional doors.

To prevent damage to garage door and opener:

lALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the opener.

lONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60Hz to avoid malfunction and damage.

Before you begin:

1. Disable locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door.

2. Lift the door halfway up. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its

springs.

3. Raise and lower the door to check for binding or sticking. If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance,

call a trained door systems technician.

4. Check the seal on the bottom of the door. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must

not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly.

5. The opener should be installed above the 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 (1.2 m) to the left or

right of the door center. See page 13.

Preparation

Assembly

STEP 1 Assemble the Rail and Install the Trolley

To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end. The rail tab MUST be on top of the rail when assembled.

1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for

Installation Step 5 and 9. NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the

straight door arm stored within the rail section.

2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs

along the side will lock into place.

3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top.

For convenience, put a support under the front end of the rail.

4. As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole in the second rail section from the motor unit,

as shown.

5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose during

shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.

6. Slide the trolley assembly toward the screwdriver as shown.

7. Slide the rail onto the “U” bracket, until it reaches all the stops on the top and sides of the “U” bracket.

STEP 2 Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit

To avoid SERIOUS damage to garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners mounted in the top of

the opener.

1. Insert a 1/4"-20 x 1-3/4" 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 NOT overtighten.

2. Remove the bolts from the top of the motor unit.

3. Use the carton to support the front end of the rail.

4. Place the “U” bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket holes with the bolt

holes.

5. Fasten the “U” bracket with the previously removed bolts; DO NOT use any power tools. The use of power

tools may permanently damage the garage door opener.

6. Attach chain spreader to the motor unit with two screws.

ensure proper operation.

3. Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.

4. Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail and pulley. Tighten with a 3/8" lock washer and nut

underneath the rail until the lock washer is compressed.

5. Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.

6. Locate the rail tab. The rail tab is near the idler pulley on the front rail section. Use a flat head

screwdriver and lift the rail tab until the tab is vertical (90º).

3. With the trolley against the screwdriver, dispense the remainder of the chain along the rail toward the

motor unit around the sprocket and continuing to the trolley assembly. The sprocket teeth must

engage the chain. (Figure 2)

4. Check to make sure the chain is not twisted, then connect it to the threaded shaft with the remaining

master link.

5. Thread the inner nut and lock washer onto the trolley threaded shaft.
