Installation
Step 1
Determine Header Bracket Location
Installation procedures vary according to
garage door types. Follow the instructions
which apply to your door.
Header __
Wall
If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to
a structural
support
on the header
wall or
ceiling,
the safety reverse
system
may not
work properly (see page 30). The door might
not reverse
when required,
and could cause
serious injury or death.
The garage
door springs,
cables,
pulleys,
brackets and their hardware are under extreme
tension.
Do not attempt
to loosen,
move or
adjust them yourself.
Serious personal
injury
or death could result.

point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wail 2" above
the high point. This height will
provide travel clearance for the
