Starting on the left hand side, align the top fixture base 3” down from the top section or below strut and even with the edge of the top section. The slotted half of the top fixture base should be facing upwards. Fasten to section through end cap using (4) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws.

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 flag angle or wall 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 or wall angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat for other side.

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

For Quick Install Track: Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.

For Fully Adjustable track or Riveted Track: Complete the vertical track instal- lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

For Angle Mount Track: Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and or tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the vertical track, as shown. Repeat for other side.

Drawbar Operator Bracket

ladder

Tools Required: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, Level, Tape measure, Step

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 struts 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.

NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist- ing operator.

NOTE: Refer to illustrations to determine which top fixtures were supplied with your door. Follow the corresponding step below:

Place the bottom half inside the top half and flush against the inside surface of the top section. Adjust both the top and bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section surface. Secure the drawbar operator bracket bottom half and the top half together using (4) 5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts.

NOTE: Install the 5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts as far apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.
