PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST FOR HELP-1.800.354.3643 OR WWW.GENIECOMPANY.COM
Things to consider if you are planning to "Do-it-yourself."
This opener is designed for use with SECTIONAL doors only.
In many cases you will be replacing an existing door opener with a new one, however, if this
will be the first opener installed there are some pre-installation issues which need to be
addressed. They are as follows:
The Genie Company recommends that you read and fully understand all information and
instructions contained herein before choosing a "Do-it-yourself" installation. Any
questions should be directed to The Genie Company or an authorized Genie®Dealer.
1Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the
position needed with respect to the garage door
opener. It may be necessary to add an
additional bracket and
fasteners (not included
with your new door opener kit).
(Refer to Section 2.)
2Check the wall directly above the garage
door.The door opener’s header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting
location. (
Refer to Section 2.)
3Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam®System is clear from
obstruction and has a wood surface available
for attaching the mounting brackets.The
brackets may be attached to concrete if necessary
but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied)
will be required.
(Refer to Section 4 and 5.)
NOTE: Mounting brackets must be installed
within code specifications.
4Is your sectional garage door made of
aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass
or glass panels?Additional support bracing
must be added to these type doors. If this is the
case, please contact the door manufacturer or
authorized dealer so that they can furnish you
with a "bracing kit."
(Refer to Section 2.)
7Insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. (
Refer to Section 10.)
If your door jams, binds, is improperly
balanced or has a broken spring, have it
repaired or adjusted by a trained door system
technician. Door springs, cables, pulleys,
brackets and associated hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING
(The issue numbers below refer to the circled numbers in the illustrations on page 5.)
8(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you should consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2)for installation on
your garage door.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD!
DO NOT USE A PORTABLE GENERATOR! This
product is designed to operate on
standard house current.
DO NOT USE ALTERNATE POWER SUPPLIES.
WARNING
5You need a properly grounded 110-120 Volt
power supply available.The outlet should be
no more than 3 feet from the power head once it is
mounted.
(Refer to Section 5.)

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD
REFLECTED ABOVE. NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS
