With horizontal tracks installed, you can now adjust the top fixtures. Vertically align the top 

section of the door with the lower sections. Once aligned, position the top fixture slide out 

against the horizontal track. Maintaining the slides position, tighten the 5/16”-18 hex nuts to 

secure the top fixture slides to the top fixture bases.
Secure the top fixture slide further with (1) 1/4"-20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4"-20 flange 

hex nut through any two aligning holes in the top fixture slide and top fixture base.

NOTE:

 If you have windload codes 1000, 1001, 1002, 1022, 1041 or 1042, pushnuts are 

not required.

NOTE:

 For windload codes 1020, 1021, 1040 or 1041, pushnuts are required to be installed.

NOTE:

 When positioning the pushnut onto roller stem, ensure the tabs on the pushnut are 

pointing away from roller stem.

IMPORTANT: 

ACCURATELY POSITIONING THE PUSHNUT ONTO THE ROLLER STEM IS CRITI-

CAL. ONCE THE PUSHNUT IS PUSHED ONTO THE ROLLER STEM, THE TABS MAKING CON-

TACT WITH THE STEEL SURFACE WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REPOSITION THE PUSHNUT.
If your door came with pushnuts, install them now by placing a pushnut onto the end of each 

roller stem and sliding it towards the bottom corner brackets, graduated end hinges or the 

top fixture assemblies. Leave at least 1/4” of space between push nut and bottom corner 

brackets / graduated end hinges / top fixtures.
