1. FASTEN THE TRACK TO THE CEILING (FIGURE 1)
Determine where the garage door opener will be installed. There are two option for installing the track:
• Option 1 (Recommended): Install track perpendicular to the garage door opener rail.
• Option 2: Install track parallel to the garage door opener rail.
The track MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on ceiling using lag screws.
NOTE: The down rod r/-11 degrees only in the direction of the garage door. With option 2, the
garage door opener will sway more when operating and the track MUST be centered with the garage
door opener; no rotational adjustability left to right. Otherwise the garage door opener/rail may be at a
slight angle when the garage door opener is mounted.
2. DETERMINE THE LENGTH OF THE DOWN ROD AND CUT TO LENGTH (FIGURE 2)
To determine the length of the down rod, measure the distance from the ceiling to the top of the garage
door opener, and then subtract 4". Cut the down rod using the template provided. DO NOT cut the end of
the down rod with the holes, cut from the other end. Use a fi le to remove burrs from cut end, especially
near the wire management channel.
NOTE: For best results use a power saw with a vise for cutting the down rod straight and to protect the
paint from chipping. A hack saw may be used but may not cut as straight and the paint will be more
prone to chipping.
3. ATTACH THE BRACKET TO THE DOWN ROD (FIGURE 3)
Attach the bracket to the down rod with the self-tapping bolt 5/16"-18 X 1" provided, tighten the bolt.
Ensure the bolt is fully seated and tightened. Make sure the wire management channel on the down rod
is aligned with wire management channel on the bracket.
4. ATTACH THE DOWN ROD TO THE SLIDE MECHANISM IN THE TRACK (FIGURE 4)
Insert the 5/16”-18 X 3-1/4” bolt through the slide mechanism and down rod and attach with the
serrated hex fl ange nut; this is for the pivot point of the kit. Move the slide mechanism along the track
until the down rod is in a vertical orientation and tighten hardware.
5. ATTACH THE BRACKET (WITH DOWN ROD) TO THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(FIGURE 5)
Attach the bracket to the garage door opener with 5/16" lock washers, 5/16"-18 hex nuts, and 5/16"-18
X 7/8" hex head cap screws. Make sure the wire management channel is facing the power cord on the
garage door opener. Tighten at this point.
6. ROUTE WIRES THROUGH THE WIRE MANAGEMENT CHANNEL (FIGURE 5)
Route the power cord, safety reversing sensor wires and door control wires through the wire
management channel. Measure and cut cover for the wire management channel. Snap cover onto down
rod. Use a zip tie to secure all wires into one of the 4 holes in the slide mechanism.
7. COMPLETE INSTALLATION (FIGURE 5)
Secure the crown together with the pan head screws 6-19 (2) provided.
