door operation.
FOR 3” TRACK APPLICATIONS:
2-3/16” (56 mm) to 2-1/4” (57 mm) for smooth, safe door
operation
Tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles / Angle mount must be parallel to the door sec-
tions. Repeat for other side.
FOR 2” TRACK APPLICATIONS:
Door width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for
smooth, safe door operation.
FOR 3” TRACK APPLICATIONS:
Door width plus 4-7/8” (124mm) to 5” (127 mm) for
smooth, safe door operation.
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the fasteners to the jamb. Push the verti-
cal 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.
Attaching Drawbar Operator Bracket
17
NOTE:
If you don’t have a drawbar operator bracket, then skip this step. Refer to Illustrations
shown below, Package Contents or Breakdown of Parts, to determine which drawbar operator
bracket you have.
NOTE:
If you’re installing a drawbar operator, the drawbar operator bracket must be mounted
and secured prior to installing top section.
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 drawbar operator bracket was supplied with
your door.
Place the bottom half of drawbar operator bracket inside the top half of drawbar operator
bracket and flush against the inside surface of the top section. Adjust both the top and bot-
tom halves out as far apart as possible on the section surface, as shown. Secure the bottom
half drawbar operator bracket and the top half 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 upper half of the drawbar operator bracket under the strut (if applicable), keeping
the drawbar operator bracket aligned with the center line. Remove the strut’s screws, if nec-
essary and attach to the top section (through strut if necessary) using 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self
drilling screws. Attach the lower half of the drawbar operator bracket to the section surface
using 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.
NOTE:
Depending on your door width, it may be required that the rectangular drawbar
operator bracket be mounted off center so the drawbar operator bracket mounts to the hinge
points.
Now, locate the center of the top section and align the drawbar operator bracket assembly
with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket assembly vertically and
horizontally. Secure the drawbar operator bracket to the top section surface using 1/4” - 20 x
7/8” self drilling screws, as shown. Next, if applicable and using 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling
screws, secure the rectangular drawbar operator bracket to the Strut / C Channels, as shown.
