Determine The Header Bracket Location - B&D Easylifter Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket
Location
Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your
door.
WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural
support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door
might not reverse when required. DO NOT install header
bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header
bracket or 40mm reinforcement board into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, all of which are
under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door might not reverse when required.
SECTIONAL DOOR
AND ONE-PIECE DOOR WITH TRACK
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical
centreline of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the
door.
NOTE: You can fasten the header bracket within
300mm of the left or right of the door center only if a
torsion spring or centre bearing plate is in the way; or
you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 14) when
clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall
upside down if necessary, to gain approximately
12mm.)
If you need to install the header bracket on a 40mm
reinforcement board (on wall or ceiling), use lag
screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 40mm
reinforcement board to structural supports as shown
here and on page 13. If installing into masonry, use
concrete anchors.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as
shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the
header wall 50mm above the high point. This
height will provide travel clearance for the top edge
of the door.
Proceed to Step 2, page 14.
