Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail in
the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the
hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last
(refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position flag angle or wall
angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the
bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat for other side.
IMPORTANT:
THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE
DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-
TION.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK:
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb
bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK OR RIVETED TRACK:
Complete the vertical track instal-
lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical
track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the
curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

IMPORTANT:
WHEN CONNECTING A TROLLEY TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO THIS DOOR,
A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR IF ONE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, ALONG WITH ANY STRUTS
PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR (IF A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET WAS NOT
PROVIDED WITH YOUR DOOR, THAN USE THE ONE PROVIDED BY YOUR OPERATOR MANU-
FACTURER). THE INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR MUST BE ACCORDING TO MANUFAC-
TURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY.
NOTE:
For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist-
ing operator.
NOTE:
Refer to illustrations to determine which top fixtures were supplied with your door.
FOLLOW THE CORRESPONDING STEP BELOW:
A:
Place the bottom halve of drawbar operator bracket inside the top halve of drawbar opera-
tor bracket and flush against the inside surface of the top section. Adjust both the top and
bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section surface. Secure the bottom halve
drawbar operator bracket and the top halve drawbar operator bracket together using (4)
5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts.
NOTE:
Install the 5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts as far
apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.
Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar op-
erator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket
assembly vertically.
Slide the top halve of the drawbar operator bracket under the strut, keeping the drawbar
operator bracket aligned with the center line. Remove the strut’s screws, if necessary and
attach to the top section (through strut if necessary) using (3) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling
screws.
NOTE:
If your door lacks a strut on the top section, ignore the previous paragraph.
Attach the bottom halve of the drawbar operator bracket to the section surface using (3) 1/4”
- 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws.
NOTE:
When attaching drawbar operator bracket to top section with strut, apply additional
pressure to thread into the strut.
B:
Locate the center of the top section. Position the drawbar operator bracket under the strut
(if applicable) or align the drawbar operator bracket top edge with the top edge of the top
section, as shown.
Attach the drawbar operator bracket using (3) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws (as
shown).

NOTE:
Depending on your door, you may have Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable
Flag Angles, Riveted Vertical Track Assemblies or you may have Angle Mount Vertical Track
Assemblies. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine which Flag Angles /
Vertical Track Assemblies you have.
WARNING
DO NOT RAISE DOOR UNTIL HORIZONTAL TRACKS ARE SECURED AT
REAR, AS OUTLINED IN STEP, REAR BACK HANGS, OR DOOR COULD FALL
FROM OVERHEAD POSITION CAUSING SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
