Check Step 1:
T
Check condition of vertical stile in center of door, and its connection to
door's top and bottom beams. (Figure 2)
A
If door frame is nailed together and not a solid connection, door
frame must be braced or reinforced before installing Opener.
B
If door is "lightweight" (made with frame and skin - not solid), door
(including door frame) must be braced or reinforced before
installing Opener.
C
A door opener reinforcement bracket may also be needed to
connect garage door to Opener's Door Bracket. This Opener is
designed for installation on a properly braced sectional door or
solidly braced one-piece door.
D
Contact your Genie Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your
garage door for any necessary bracing and a door opener
reinforcement bracket (if needed) before proceeding.
E
If you have a wooden door, measure door's thickness. If your door
is less than 2" thick, brace door or use shorter Door Bracket Lag Screws

AND
A
Raise door, check alignment and see if it moves freely (Figure 1). If
door appears out of alignment, binds, or does not move smoothly,
contact a Genie Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your garage
door for repairs and adjustments to door mechanism.

Raise door to 3' – 4' above ground and carefully let go. Door
should stay stationary. Slight movement is acceptable. More than
slight movement means door is out of balance. Contact a Genie
Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your garage
door for repairs and adjustments to door mechanism.

Check door type. Make a note of whether it is a sectional or a
one-piece door (Figure 2).
