SECTIONAL DOOR ONLY
A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal
door-to-rail distance.
• Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need
help at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.
• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat
on the top section beneath the rail.

INSTALLATION STEP 5

Hang the Opener

Two representative installations are shown. Yours
may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished
ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket to
structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor
unit to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-18x1-7/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the
door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
8. Grease the top and underside of the rail surface
where the trolley slides with rail grease.

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage
door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural supports of
