Owner's Manual

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
- Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting bracket into masonry.
- Never try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their
hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
- ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.
- Garage door opener MUST be mounted at a right angle to the torsion bar to avoid premature
wear on the collar.
- If possible, use the manual release to disengage the door only when the garage door is closed. A
damaged door or broken springs may cause an open door to fall unexpectedly.
- Clear persons and obstructions from the doorway before using the manual release.
WARNING
1. Close the garage door completely.
2. Position power head on torsion bar and slide garage door opener, leaving a .25” (.6 cm) minimum gap between the collar
and the side rail bolt. Use a level to align garage door opener.
3. When the garage door opener is properly aligned, mark the mounting bracket holes. If necessary, tighten collar screws on
the torsion bar to hold garage door opener in place while marking holes.
NOTE: The garage door opener does not have to be ush to wall.
4. Remove the garage door opener from torsion bar. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes at the marked locations. Drill through metal
door rail plates if necessary.
5. Slide the garage door opener back onto the torsion bar until pilot holes align with bracket.
6. Tighten the 2 square head set screws on the torsion bar. For a hollow torsion bar, tighten screws 3/4 - 1 full turn after
making contact with the bar. For a solid shaft torsion bar, tighten screws 1/4 - no more than 1/2 after making contact
with the shaft. If installing on a keyed torsion bar, DO NOT tighten the screws into the keyway.
7. Use the 1/4 - 10 x 50 mm (2) lag screws to fasten the mounting bracket to the wall. Use a level to make sure the opener is
square to the shaft vertically and horizontally.
8. Attach the manual release cord to the manual release cable. Cut the manual release handle cord, slide the handle on the
rope and tie a knot. The handle must be within reach and at least 6 feet above the oor.
