STEP 2 Fasten the rail to the motor unit
To avoid SERIOUS damage to garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners mounted in the
top of the opener.
1. Insert a 1/4"-20x1-3/4" bolt into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as
shown. Tighten securely with a 1/4"-20 lock nut. DO NOT overtighten.
2. Remove the bolts from the top of the motor unit.
3. Use the carton to support the front end of the rail.
4. Place the “U” bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket holes with the bolt
holes.
5. Fasten the “U” bracket with the previously removed bolts; DO NOT use any power tools. The use
of power tools may permanently damage the garage door opener.

STEP 3 Install the idler pulley
1. Lay the belt beside the rail, as shown. Grasp the end with the hooked trolley connector and pass
approximately 12" (30 cm) of belt through the window. Keep the ribbed side toward the rail, and
allow it to hang until Assembly Step 4.
2. Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside center should be pre-greased. If dry, regrease
to ensure proper operation.
3. Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.
4. Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail and pulley. Tighten with a 3/8" lock washer and
nut underneath the rail until the lock washer is compressed.
5. Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.
6. Locate the rail tab. The rail tab is near the idler pulley on the front rail section. Use a flathead
screwdriver and lift the rail tab until the tab is vertical (90º).
