Attaching Drawbar Operator Bracket

NOTE:
If you’re installing a drawbar operator, the drawbar operator bracket must be mounted
and secured prior to installing top section.
IMPORTANT:
TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR DOOR, WAYNE DALTON RECOM-
MENDS REINFORCING THE TOP SECTION WITH A STRUT.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN CONNECTING A DRAWBAR OPERATOR TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER
TO THIS DOOR, A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ DRAWBAR OPERATOR BRACKET MUST
BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR, ALONG WITH ANY STRUT
PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR. THE INSTALLATION OF THE DRAWBAR OPERATOR MUST BE AC-
CORDING TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED
PROPERLY.
Prior to installing the top section, locate the center of the top section and seat the drawbar
operator bracket on top of the top section. For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator
bracket must be aligned with an existing drawbar operator and positioned on top section
so it bridges the transition point of the section thickness. Install (2) #12 x 1/2” phillips head
screws on the back side of drawbar operator bracket. Clamp drawbar operator bracket to
strut (if supplied) with vise clamps. Attach (6) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws to the
drawbar operator bracket. Remove vise clamps.
NOTE:
If a strut was installed, you can use two of the 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self-drilling screws
previously used to attach the strut instead of two 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws when
attaching drawbar operator bracket to strut.
NOTE:
When attaching drawbar operator bracket to top section with strut, apply additional
pressure to thread into the strut.

Stacking Top Section

Place the top section in the opening. Install a nail to prevent the top section from falling
backwards. 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 sec-
tions. 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.
FOR ANGLE MOUNT TRACK:
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb
bracket(s) and or 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 vertical
track, as shown. Repeat for other side.
