To avoid
injury
or
death
:
- Be sure to
securely
mount the garage door opener. Failure to mount the garage door opener securely can result
in damage to property, personal injury and death.
- Never touch any moving part while the garage door opener is in operation.
- Do not attempt to fix the garage door opener if it jams or malfunctions. Call a garage door installation professional
for assistance.
- Do not plug in the electrical cord until specifically instructed to do so.
1. While another person steadies the garage door opener, position the hanging brackets on either side of
the motor assembly where they will reach beams in the ceiling overhead. If needed, cut the brackets to
fit. Then attach the brackets with the M8-20 bolts, spring washers and M8 nuts as shown, and
hand-tighten the screws. (Do not securely tighten the screws as you may need to adjust them when
securing the motor to the ceiling in the next step.)
3. Then attach the brackets to the overhead beams with the 2 lag screws.
NOTE:
In some cases you may need additional hardware (not included) to secure the garage door.
3. Finish tightening the screws on the motor assembly until the garage door opener is securely mounted.
