Planning

Identify the type and height of your garage door.
Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditions below apply to your installation. Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to
refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of
your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or
hardware not included in the carton.
• Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling
above the garage door. The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling
in your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model 1702E Outside Quick
Release is required. See Accessories page.

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce-
ment is required (Installation Step 10).
• 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 1.2 m to the left or right of
the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 10.
