Instructions / Assembly

IMPORTANT: Check condition of your door and all its associated hardware.
Check tracks, springs, hinges, rollers. Is anything loose or
appear to be worn? If so, call a quali ed professional for an
evaluation and repairs. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
SPRINGS OR THEIR ATTACHED PARTS!
Check the door balance:
1. Slowly open the door all the way, and then close it all the
way. Notice if there is any binding, sticking or rubbing. The
door should move smoothly in both directions.
2. Raise the garage door about halfway up. Carefully release
the door and see if the door balances. It should stay in
place. Close the door.
IMPORTANT: If the garage door is unbalanced or the
door travel isn’t smooth, have a quali ed garage door
professional adjust or repair the door.
Please Read Before Beginning Installation
This garage door opener kit includes parts and supplies needed for installation in most garages and on
most sectional garage doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed for installation in your
garage and to your garage door. While going over these instructions, please note any additional items
you may need.
Measure the height of your door. For doors taller than 7’ and up to 8’ in height, you will need a rail
Extension Kit for the door to fully open.
Does the header above the garage door where torsion springs are used extend far enough above the
spring(s) to allow mounting of the header bracket? If not, or if you can’t tell you will probably need a
piece of 2”x 4” or 2”x 6” lumber to span across wall studs (see page 8).
If you have a  nished ceiling, you will need a piece of angle iron which can span across beams or
trusses where the opener will be mounted (see page 11).
Remove all ropes and T-handles connected to the garage door. Remove or disable all locks connected
to the garage door. It is recommended that closed loop lifting handles with no protruding parts remain.
