•Position the template horizontally to match up the centerlines of the header bracket and the template. Refer to Figure 8 or Figure 9, depending on your door style.

•To check, place the extension arm on the trolley into the slot on the template. The extension arm should be straight and in line with the garage door operator rail.

Note: The door arm should extend about 13mm (1/2”) over the top of the door (Figure 10 or Figure 11). If not, check template and hole positions.

•Select and mark the (2) template holes which will allow the mounting screws the best possible support in the door, (preferable hole locations into the door’s main bracing) as shown in Figures 10/11. If possible, use additional screws.

The garage door may require additional bracing to provide suitable support.
