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 vice clamps. Attach (6) 1/4” - 14 x
5/8” self-tapping screws to the drawbar operator bracket. Remove vice 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 Sections
7
NOTE:
The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed graduated end
hinges. The smallest graduated end hinge on section should be stacked on top of the bottom
section, with each graduated end hinge increasing as the sections are stacked, see Door
Section Identification / Breakdown of Parts.
NOTE:
Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
NOTE:
Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten center hinge(s) first;
then end hinges last using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.
NOTE:
To prevent center hinge leaf(s) from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the
center hinge leaf with one 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two
holes.
NOTE:
Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the
sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.
Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.
IMPORTANT:
PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAFS SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4” - 14 X 5/8” SELF TAPPING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAFS AND THE SECTIONS.
NOTE:
Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.
