STEP 3

FASTENING THE RAIL ASSEMBLY TO THE POWER HEAD  

Place 

the rail assembly onto the power head chassis by lining up the sprocket assembly  

opening with motor shaft.  Make sure the shaft engages teeth inside sprocket assembly.  
Press rail assembly down firmly onto shaft and power head chassis.  DO NOT HAMMER!
 

Fasten

 2 "C" brackets over rail assembly and onto chassis. Flanges on "C" brackets must 

fit into the four recessed areas on chassis.  The rail assembly must be at a right angle to 
the power head for the "C" brackets to fit properly. See Figure 3

Insert 

 6 X 14 mm chassis screws through "C" bracket holes and into chassis holes, and 

tighten screws by hand with a phillips screw driver. The “C” brackets must firmly hold rail 
assembly to chassis. See Figures 3, 4.

Do not 

remove tape around the trolley and straight power arm until Step 9.  The  trolley 

has been taped at the correct location so that the belt or chain position tab will activate the 
position switch, and opener computer correctly. The activation begins when the opener 
opens the door, from the closed position, for the first time. See Figure 5

Place

 power head on stepladder, positioning front of rail assembly on torsion tube (or on 

torsion spring if side mounted) for stability. See Figure 5

Position

 rail assembly end-stop within the opener header bracket and insert clevis pin 

through the end-stop and opener header bracket Attach the 
cotter ring to the end of the clevis pin. See Figure 6
