Compatibility Considerations:
The Genie® Residential Wall Mount opener is intended for use on:
Standard lift up to 14 feet tall, using industry standard APCO 400.8 , 400.12 and 5250.18 drums or equivalent.
Hi-lift sectional doors up to 14 feet tall and 84 inches maximum of high lift using industry standard APCO 400.54 , 5250.54 and
500.84 drums or equivalent.
Vertical lift doors up to 14 feet tall, using industry standard APCO 850.11 and 1100.18 drums or equivalent.
Doors up to 18 feet wide not to exceed 180 square feet and 850 lbs. balance weight.
Only doors that use torsion springs with a torsion bar diameter of 1 in. solid or hollow 14 or 16 ga. tubular steel.
Not compatible with low headroom outside hook-up, i.e. reverse wound drums.
Garage door hardware (springs, cables, brackets, pulleys, etc.) are under
extreme pressure and tension.
DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust door springs or any hardware, and DO NOT
OPERATE garage door automatically or manually if door is improperly
balanced or springs are broken.
CONTACT A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.
Door Inspection:
If the intended door meets the above requirements, inspect the door for proper balance and general
condition.
Raise and lower the door manually. Door should move freely and smoothly.
Raise door manually about 3' to 4' feet from floor and let go. Door should remain stationary or slowly
drift closed. FIG.A.
If door opens or closes rapidly, CONTACT A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN to have your door springs
serviced.
Disable or remove all locks and ropes attached to the door.
Monitor the end of the torsion bar while the door is raised and lowered. It is important that there is no
noticeable movement up and down or side to side, if there is, CONTACT A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM
TECHNICIAN, otherwise opener reliability will be significantly reduced.
Critical Measurements:
This opener can be installed left or right handed. Critical measurements must be taken to ensure this opener will fit the intended
door.
This opener will directly couple onto torsion shafts, solid or tubular, of 1 inch in diameter with or without a keyway. (X)
Measure the distance between the torsion bar centerline to the wall. This dimension must be between 2-1/2" and 6". (A)
The torsion bar shaft must protrude no less than 2-1/4" from bearing plate. (B)
A standard 115 VAC grounded electrical outlet will be required within 5 feet of the bottom of the opener.
Torsion bar centerline to the ceiling must be at least 2-1/4" for clearance. (C) Note: Headroom required is less than smallest standard
drum (400.8).
End of torsion shaft to side wall clearance must be at least 7 in. for clearance (D)
NOTE: Alternate mounting kits are available for TorqueMaster® and Indirect Chain Couple. See accessories page for more information.
