Before you begin, survey your garage area to see whether any of the conditions below apply to your installation.
You may find it helpful to refer back to this page as you proceed with the installation of your opener.
Based on your particular requirements, there are
several installation steps which might call for materials
and/or hardware not included in the carton.
• Step 1, page 13 - Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket
must be
securely fastened to structural supports.
• Step 5, page 17 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware (not supplied) may be required.
• Safety reversing sensor, page 21 - Depending upon
garage construction, extension brackets (see
Accessories) or wood blocks may be needed to
fasten sensors to mounting locations.
• Step 10, page 22 - Floor mounting of the safety
reversing sensor will require hardware that is not
provided.
• Step 11, page 25 - Generally, a one-piece door
does not require reinforcement. If your door is
lightweight, you can refer to the information relating
to sectional doors on page 24.
• Step 11, page 25 - Depending on your door's
construction, you might need additional mounting
hardware for the door bracket.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model 7702C Outside Quick
Release is required. See page 38.
• The gap between the bottom of the garage door
and the floor cannot exceed 1/4". Otherwise, the
safety reverse system may not work properly.
See page 30. The floor or the door should be
repaired.
