1.Attach one 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw to the top bracket assembly.

2.Attach two more 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self-drilling screws to the top bracket assembly.

3.Attach two #12 x 1/2” phillips head screws on the opposite side of top bracket assembly.

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

NOTE: If an a-symmetrical strut is supplied, complete this step.

Place the a-symmetrical strut over the top rib of the top door section. Fasten each end of the a-symmetrical strut to the end cap with (2) 1/4”-20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Fasten both wall and the long leg of the a-symmetrical strut, as shown using (2) 1/4”-14 x 5/8” self tapping screws every 30-36 inches. (Approximately 18 self tapping screws per 18’ a-symmetrical strut)

IMPORTANT: When securing the a-symmetrical strut to the top section, it is recommended not to install any fasteners into the short leg of the a- symmetrical strut.

NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket assembly must be aligned with an existing drawbar operator.

Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar op- erator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket assembly vertically.

First, secure the back of the drawbar operator bracket assembly to the top section inside surface using (2) 1/4”-20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Next, secure the drawbar operator bracket assembly to the top and bottom ribs of the top section using (8) 1/4”-20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Now, tighten all previously installed 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.

Secure the drawbar operator bracket assembly to the top section using (1) quadrex pan head screw.

NOTE: If you have 7’0” door height and your door width is less than or equal to 16’0”, use (1) #8 x 1 21/32” quadrex pan head screw.

NOTE: If you have 7’0” door height and your door width is greater than 16’0”, use (1) #8 x 1 13/32” quadrex pan head screw.

NOTE: For door heights greater than 7’0”, use (1) #8 x 1 13/32” quadrex pan head screw.

Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail into the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the graduated end and center 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 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 same process 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.

Drawbar Operator Bracket

13 Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, Flat head screwdriver, 7/16” Wrench, Tape measure, Pencil

Important: when connecting a drawbar operator type garage door opener to this door, a Wayne-Dalton operator/ drawbar operator bracket must be securely attached to the top section of the door, along with any strut provided with the door. The installation of the drawbar operator must be ac- cording to manufacturer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly.

Position the drawbar operator bracket arm inside the top portion of the top half of drawbar operator bracket and flush against the back of the top half of drawbar operator bracket. Adjust the top holes in the drawbar operator bracket arm with the two upper holes in the top half of drawbar operator bracket.

Fasten both the drawbar operator bracket arm and the top half of drawbar operator bracket together using (2) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.

Slide the bottom half of drawbar operator bracket inside the top half of drawbar operator bracket. Adjust the both the top and bottom halves of drawbar operator brackets out against the top and bottom rib of the top section. Loosely fasten both the top and bottom halves of drawbar operator brackets together using (4) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (4) 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts.

NOTE: Install the 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and the 1/4”-20 flange hex nuts as far apart as possible, when positioning both the top and bottom halves of drawbar operator brackets together.

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:

Complete the vertical track installation 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.
