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.
• If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you
raise the door, pull down on the trolley release arm
to disconnect inner and outer sections. Slide the
outer trolley toward the motor unit. The trolley can
remain disconnected until Installation Step 13
is completed.
