NOTE: The header bracket must be securely
fastened to a structural support of the garage.
Reinforce the wall or ceiling with a 40mm (1-1/2")
board if necessary. Failure to comply may result in
improper operation of safety reverse system.
You can attach the header bracket either to the header
wall (1) or to the ceiling (3). Follow the instructions which
best suit your particular requirements. With the door

door. Extend line onto header wall above the door.
Open door to highest point of travel. Draw an
intersecting horizontal line (4) on header wall 50mm to
200mm above high point to provide travel clearance for
top edge of door. Height varies depending on door type
(refer section 15).
