The opener must be securely fastened to a structural support
of the garage.
Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be
different. Hanging brackets (1) should be angled (Figure A)
to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, (Figure B)
attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) (4) to a structur-
al support before installing the opener.
For concrete ceiling mount, (Figure C), use concrete anchors
(5) (provided).
On each side of opener measure the distance from the open-
er to the structural support (or ceiling).
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths.
Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit the
fastening angles. Do not bend at the bracket holes. Drill 4,
5mm (3/16") pilot holes in the structural supports (or ceiling).
Attach flattened ends of brackets to supports with wood
screws (2).
Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw, lock washer. Check to make sure the pole is centred over the
door. REMOVE 50mm board. Operate door manually. If door hits the pole, raise header bracket.
