An unbalanced garage door might not reverse
when required and someone under the door
could be seriously injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of
balance,
call for professional
garage door
service. Garage doors, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust
them yourself!
Ropes left on a garage
door could cause
someone
to become
entangled
and killed.
Remove all ropes connected to the door before
installing and operating the opener.

Identify the type and height of your door and any
special conditions that exist and any additional
materials that may be required by referring to the lists
on page 4 or page 5

SECTIONAL DOOR

To avoid damage to the garage door and
opener, disable locks before installing and
operating the opener. Use a wood screw or nail
to hold locks
in the "open"
(unlocked)
position.
Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause
opener malfunction and damage.
=mN ,,,

Before you begin, complete the following test to
make sure your door is balanced, and is not
sticldng or binding:
. Uft the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. It shoul_l stay in place, supported entirely by
its spdngs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.

Step 5

the Opener

Two representative
installations are shown.
Yours may be different. Hanging brackets should
be angled, Figure 1, to provide rigid support. On
inished ceilings, F_gure2, attach a sturdy metal
bracket to structural supports before installing the
opener. The bracket and fastening hardware are not
supplied. See accessory page 38.

Figure I

• 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 support w_th
5/16"-18xl-7/8'
lag screws.
- Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16=-18x7/8" screws, lock washers and nuts.
• Check to make sure the T-rail is centered over the
door (or in line w_ 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.

Attach the Emergency
Release Rope and Handle

Do not use the red handle to pull the door
open or closed. The rope knot could become
untied and you could fall, Use the emergency
release only to disengage the trolley and, if
possible, only when the door is closed.

i

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in
the top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right
side up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot.

Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open
when the handle is pulled, the door could
close inadvertently
if it ts not properly
balanced. Serious injury may result to persons
under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear
of persons and obstructions
before pulling
handle when door is open.

The knot should be at least 1" from the end of
the rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole
in the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above
the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.
If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the
cut end with a match or lighter to prevent
unraveling.

sensor.

Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be injured or killed by a closing garage door.
Read and follow all Instructions.

Installation procedures are the same for sectional
and one-piece doors.

To protect small children, install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
..................................

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye. The units can be installed on
either side of the garage door as long as the sun
never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
Look at the label on the connector end of each case

The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the studs on either side of the door,
or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in
masonry construction.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed°
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, spdngs,
hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the
beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece
of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to
the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

to identify the sensors.
The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other
as shown in Figure 1.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
garage door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position and the opener lights
will flash for 5 seconds.
