Installation

STEP 9 Connect the door arm to the trolley

IMPORTANT:

The groove on the straight door arm MUST face away from the curved door arm.

1. Close the door. Disconnect the trolley by pulling the emergency release handle.
2. Attach the straight door arm to the outer trolley using the clevis pin. Secure with the ring fastener.
3. Attach the curved door arm to the door bracket using the clevis pin. Secure with the ring fastener.
4. Bring arm sections together. Find two pairs of holes that line up and join sections. Select holes as

far apart as possible to increase door arm rigidity and attach using the bolts and nuts.

5. Pull the emergency release handle toward the garage door opener until the trolley release arm

is horizontal. The trolley will re-engage automatically when the garage door opener is activated.
