Operator Mounting - Chamberlain H Owner's Manual

Before your operator is installed, be sure the door has been properly aligned and is working smoothly. The oper-
ator may be wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf. If necessary, refer to the operator preparations on
page 3. Refer to the illustration and instructions below that suits your application.
1a. Wall Mounting
The operator should generally be installed below
the door shaft, and as close to the door as possi-
ble. The optimum distance between the door shaft
and operator drive shaft is between 12" - 15". Refer
to Figure 3.
