Planning

You may find it helpful to refer to the applicable illustration as you proceed with the installation of your garage door operator and The Chamberlain Arm™. The garage door opener must be installed parallel to the floor.

Follow rail assembly instructions as shown in the Owner's manual. Note: For the best operating result of canopy doors, use only 3-sections of the 4-piece rail or add a rail support bracket as shown (16). Make sure rail support bracket does not interfere with the trolley movement (Purchase part no. 600121). If 3 rails sections are used, the chain (belt) must be cut by the same amount. For belts, a new belt clip is recommended (Purchase part no. 041B5669).
