INSTALLATION STEP 5
Hang the Opener
Three representative installations are shown. Yours
may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished
ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket to
structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
Existing brackets from a previous installation may be
fastened to the sides of the motor unit as in Figures
1 and 2, or to the mounting tabs as shown in
Figure 3. Then continue with step 5 below.
1. Remove from packaging. Measure the distance
from each side of the motor unit to the structural
support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
3. Drill 5 mm pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-18x1-7/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the T-rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 25 mm board. Operate the door
manually. If the door hits the rail, raise the header
bracket.
8. Grease the top and underside of the rail surface
where the trolley slides with rail grease.
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling
garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural
supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used
if installing any brackets into masonry.
