Pre-Installation Check List - Genie 1022 Owner's Manual

Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the
position needed with respect to the garage door
opener. It may be necessary to add an
additional bracket and fasteners (not included
with your new door opener kit).
(Refer to Section 2.)
You need a properly grounded 110-120 Volt
power supply available. The outlet should be
no more than 3 feet from the power head once it is
mounted. (Refer to Section 5.)
Check the wall directly above the garage
door. The door opener's header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting
location. (Refer to Section 2.)
Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam ®System is clear from
obstruction and has a wood surface available
for attaching the mounting brackets. The
brackets may be attached to concrete if necessary
but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied)
will be required. (Refer to Section 4 and 5.)
_z_t_,:_ code specifications
To avoid damage to your door and/or
opener, make sure you disable and/or
remove any door locks, ropes, and/or cables
(NOT door lift cables) prior to installing your
opener. (Refer to Section 1.)
insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. (Refer to Section 2.)
is your sectional garage door made of
aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass
or glass panels? Additional support bracing
must be added to these type doors. If this is the
case, please contact the door manufacturer or
authorized dealer so that they can furnish you
with a "bracing kit." (Refer to Section 2.)
(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you should consider
an emergency release kit (GER-2) for installation on
your garage door. (See emergency release kit
installation notes on page 21.)
