• Close the door and mark the inside
vertical centerline of your garage
door. Extend the line onto the
header wall above door.
If headroom clearance is minimal,
you can install the header bracket
on the ceiling. See page 10.
• If you need to install the header
bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or
ceiling), use lag screws (not
supplied) to securely fasten the 2x4
to structural supports as shown.
EXAMPLE
Distance from top of door
(at highest point of travel) to floor................................92"
Actual height of door...................................................-88"
Remainder.......................................................................4"
Add ...............................................................................+8"
Bracket height on header wall ....................................=12"
(Measure UP from top of CLOSED door.)
Proceed to Step 2, page 10.

ONE-PIECE Door Without Track
• Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Measure the distance from the top of the door to the
floor. Subtract the actual height of the door. Add 8" to
the remainder. (See Example).
• Close the door and draw an intersecting horizontal line
on the header wall at the determined height.
If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible, or refer to page 10 for ceiling installation.

Activate the opener with any of the following:
• The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold push button
down until the door starts to move.
• The Door Control. Hold push bar or button down
until the door starts to move.
• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry. (See
Accessories)
When the opener is activated with the safety reversing
sensor installed and correctly aligned:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will
open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry
and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when
the invisible beam is broken. If fully open, the door
will not close when the beam is broken. The sensor
has no effect in the opening cycle.
If the sensor is not installed, or is not aligned correctly,
the door won't close from any remote transmitter. You can
close the door with the Door Control, the Outside
Keylock, or Keyless Entry, however, if you activate them
until down travel is complete. If you release them too
soon, the door will reverse.
The opener lights will blink for 5 seconds when the safety
reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.
Opener Lights will turn on under the following
conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in; when
the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated.
They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes or
provide constant light when the Light feature is activated.
Bulb size is 100 watts maximum.

To open the door
manually:
The door should be fully
closed if possible. Pull down
on the manual release
handle (so that the trolley
release arm snaps into a
vertical position) and lift the
door manually. The lockout
feature prevents the trolley

manually as often as
necessary.
To reengage the trolley:
Pull the manual release
handle toward the opener at
a 45° degree angle so that
the trolley release arm is
horizontal. The trolley will
