With assistance, lift second section and guide rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten intermediate hinge(s) first, then end hinges, using 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Repeat for other sections, except top section.

Important: Push & hold the hinge leafs securely against the sections while securing with 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leafs and the sections.

9	Top Brackets
	Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

Align the top bracket base atop the corner of the top section and even with the edge of the section. Fasten to section through end cap using (4) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Se- cure the top bracket slide to the bracket base loosely using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut. The bracket will be tightened and adjusted later, in step, Adjusting Top Brackets. Insert roller into top bracket slide. Repeat for other side.

10	Top Section
	Tools: Hammer, Step ladder, Tape measure

Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail in the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position vertical track assembly’s flag angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat for other side.

Important: the dimension between the flag angles must be door width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for smooth, safe door operation.

Complete the vertical track installation by tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the rollers so that the rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track as shown; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

11	Operator Bracket
	Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, Tape measure

Important: When connecting a trolley type garage door opener to this door, a Wayne-Dalton operator/ trolley bracket must be securely attached to

the top section of the door if one has been provided, along with any u-bars provided with the door (if a Wayne-Dalton operator/ trolley bracket was not provided with your door, than use the one provided by your operator manu- facturer). The installation of the operator must be according to manufac- turer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly.

Uninstall the centermost hinge connecting the top section to the one below by removing the 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws.

Connect the upper half of the operator bracket to the lower half using (4) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” bolts and flange nuts.

Slide the top of the upper half of the operator bracket under the u-bar, removing the u-bar’s screws if necessary, and attach to the top section (through u-bar if necessary) using (3) 1/4”- 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws.

Note: If your door lacks a U-bar on the top section, ignore the previous paragraph.

Position the bottom half of the operator bracket so that its hinge is located at the section joint between the top section and the one below. The bottom two holes should be on the section below the top section and the two holes above should be on the top section. Attach using (4) 1/4”-20 x 5/8” self drilling screws.

Note: When attaching operator bracket to top section with u-bar, apply additional pressure to thread into the u-bar.
