ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION OF OPERATOR
2
PRE- INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
There are a few specific areas which might require extra materials:
This operator includes parts and supplies needed for installation in most garages and on most garage doors.
There are many variations of garages and garage doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed
for installation in your garage and to your garage door. While going over these instructions, please note the
additional items you may need. For help finding a local Genie® Professional Dealer, refer to the dealer locator
at www.GenieCompany.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-35-GENIE.
• The header above the garage door where torsion springs are used Does it extend
far enough above the spring(s) to allow mounting of the header bracket? If not, or if you can't
tell, you will probably need a piece of 2" x 6" lumber to span across wall studs.
• The area overhead where the operator will be mounted: if you have a finished
ceiling, you will need perforated angle which can span across beams or trusses.
• Is there wood along the door tracks near the floor where the Safe-T-Beam® can be
most easily mounted, or will you need fasteners or some other material for mounting to the track
itself? Will you need extension brackets or wooden blocks to extend the Safe-T-Beam far enough off
the wall to see past any door hardware?
• Does the application require permanent wiring installed to the operator? If so, see optional permanent input
wiring installation section.
• Is there an electrical outlet within approximately 6' of the point where the operator will be? If
not, you need to contact a licensed electrician to install an outlet.
• Check condition of the door and all its associated hardware: Tracks, springs, hinges, rollers.
Is anything loose or appear to be worn? If so, have the door serviced by a trained professional.
