The garage door opener will likely connect to your Wi-Fi

to minimize interference from walls and other objects

Before you begin:
1.
Disable locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door.
2.
Lift the door halfway up. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
3.
Raise and lower the door to check for binding or sticking. If your door binds, sticks, or is
out of balance, call a trained door systems technician.
4.
Check the seal on the bottom of the door. Any gap between the oor and the bottom of
the door must not exceed 1/4” (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not
work properly.
5.
The opener should be installed above the center of the door. If there is a torsion spring
or center bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet
(1.2m) to the left or right of the door center. See page 15.
