Planning
You may find it helpful to refer to the applicable
illustration as you proceed with the installation of your
garage door operator and The Chamberlain Arm™. The
garage door opener
must
be installed parallel to the floor.
Follow rail assembly instructions as shown in the Owner's
manual. For fitting rail with canopy arm use this manual.

Header Bracket Installation
For a canopy door,
the instructions (Figures 2A & 2B)
replace Step 13 in the Owner’s manual which refer to
positioning the header bracket. If you have an inward
facing lintel, which does not allow the header bracket to
be fitted directly above the garage door, you should see
page 6 & text with this instruction.
For dual track doors,
install the header bracket 50mm (2”) above the high
point of door travel as shown in the Owner’s manual.
Standard canopy garage doors
Canopy doors are normally provided without a frame, for
fixing to a timber frame. In this case, ensure header
bracket is located as shown below:

For pre-hung canopy garage doors
For doors either pre-hung in a metal frame or supplied
with a metal frame for self-assembly, ensure header
bracket is located as shown below:
1. Header bracket
2. Header frame
3. Top of Garage Door
4. Door jamb
5. Garage Door
6. Pre-hung door with frame
7. Lip
Proceed with Steps 14 in your Owner’s Manual. Replace Step 15
in the Owner’s Manual with the following instructions. Raise the
operator until the rail is horizontal. The rail should be parallel to
the floor. Temporarily support the operator using a step ladder.
Continue with Steps 16 through 18 in the Owner’s Manual. In
Step 15, the removal of 25mm (1”) board does not apply to
canopy doors. After Step 18 is completed, proceed to page 4 in
this manual to begin the installation of the Chamberlain Arm™.
