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.

Hanging your garage door opener will vary
depending on your garage. Two 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.
Instructions below are for attaching the garage
door opener directly to structural supports.
5.1
Measure the distance from each side of the
motor unit to the structural support.
5.2
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to
required lengths.
5.3
Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural
supports.
5.4
Attach one end of each bracket to a
support with 5/16"-18x1-7/8" lag screws
(not provided).
5.5
Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets
with 5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers
and nuts.
5.6
Check to make sure the rail is centered
over the door (or in line with the header
bracket if the bracket is not centered above
the door).
5.7
Remove the 2x4. Operate the door
manually. If the door hits the rail, raise the
header bracket.
NOTE:
DO NOT connect power to opener at this
time.
