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.
• If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you raise
the door, pull down on the trolley release arm to
