Attaching Rail to Header Bracket and Door Bracket
1. To Attach the Opener to the Header Bracket
a. Use the packaging carton as temporary support for the Opener.
Place the Opener on carton to prevent damage.
b. Align the mounting hole on the header rail to the mounting
hole on the Header Bracket.
c. Connect the Header Rail and the Header Bracket together
with a 5/16” x 2-1/4” Clevis Pin and lock it in place with a
Hitch Pin.
2. To mount the Door Bracket
Note:
Some door reinforcement kits may provide direct
attachment of the door arm to the reinforcement bracket. If you
have a door reinforcement bracket with this option, skip this step
and proceed with the next step “Mounting Opener to Ceiling”.
a. Position the Door Bracket on the centerline of the door
approximately 2” - 4” (5-10cm) below the top edge of the door.
b. Depending on the construction of your door, install using one of
the steps shown if below:
For steel / lightweight doors with vertical steel
reinforcements / factory reinforced.
(i)
Mark and drill two 3/16” holes. Make sure not to drill
through the garage door. Secure the Door Bracket with two
1/4” x 1” Self-Threading Screws (provided).
(ii)
Alternative installation: Drill two 5/16” holes through the door.
Secure the Door Bracket using two 5/16” Bolts, lock washers
and nuts (not provided). The length of bolts will depend on the
thickness of your door.
