WARNING
FRONT MOUNTING BRACKET MUST BE INSTALLED TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT (STUD) ON THE HEADER WALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE SENSING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION, RESULTING IN ENTRAPMENT, INJURY OR DEATH. REINFORCE HEADER USING 2 x 6 WOOD STUDS AND LAG SCREW OR ANGLE IRON AND LAG SCREWS AS NECESSARY (NOT PROVIDED).
VERTICAL
HORIZONTAL CENTERLINE LINE
STEP 1: Mounting the Front Bracket: Mark a vertical centerline on the header above the door. By manually raising the door, determine the high arc of the door’s travel (see illustration, top of previous page) and using a level, transfer this measurement to the header (see illustration at left). Draw a horizontal line, crossing the previously drawn centerline, at this point. Install the Front Mounting Bracket securely wit lag screws as shown below. If necessary, reinforce the header with steel angle iron or wood to ensure a secure mount.
