Installation
Warning:
Aluminum or Lightweight Steel Doors Will Require Reinforcement before installation
of door mounting brackets. Contact your door manufacturer instructions. Failure to properly do so
may result in severe door damage.
Note:
Reinforcing may affect the balance of your door. Check for proper manual operation after installation. If
necessary have your door re-balanced by a qualified garage door service person.
Step 2.
Place the power unit on the floor (use cardboard packing material
for protection) and raise Mounting Bracket align. Insert 8mm x 2-
19mm Clevis Pin and Hitch Pin. See Figure 9A.
Step 3.
Raise the opener and rest the power unit on a ladder or other
support. Open the door to the full open position. See Figure 9B.
Note:
Since the opener will be secured permanently in this
position, open and close the door a few times to be sure the door
does not rub on the rail and that you have allowed the proper
clearance before proceeding.
Step 4.
Mount Power Head to Ceiling:
Since there are many different ceiling designs, all possible
mounting illustrations cannot be shown. Primary concern is to
secure the power head to the ceiling so that operational strength,
rigidity and safety are achieved. The opener must be securely
fastened to a structural support of the garage. Although there are
a series of mounting holes provided on the power unit, try to
secure the mounting hangers to the slots closest to the front.
Mounting may usually be accomplished by using standard 32mm
perforated steel angle available at most hardware stores or from
your local garage door service person. If in doubt as to location
of, and attachment to, ceiling joists, a carpenter should be
contacted to provide assistance. A cross brace will be necessary
if power head is mounted 200 mm or more from the ceiling. See
figure 9C.
