INSTALLATION STEP 1

Position the Opener

1.Close the garage door completely.

2.Slide the opener with collar over the end of the torsion bar. Check to make sure bracket is located on a solid surface such as wood, concrete or door/flag bracket. Snug collar screws to help assure proper alignment of operator. Mark the bracket holes. It may be necessary to cut the torsion bar if it is too long or damaged.

3.Loosen collar screws from torsion bar and remove the opener. Drill 3/16" pilot holes at the marked locations. Drill through steel plate if needed.

4.Reinstall the opener by sliding the collar over the torsion bar until pilot holes align with bracket. Securely tighten collar screws that attach to the torsion bar to 12-14 ft./lbs. of torque. Securely tighten both set screws firmly, without damaging the jackshaft.

5.Fasten bracket securely with 14-10x1-7/8" screws. Tighten all mounting bracket hardware.

NOTE: The motor unit does not have to be flush to wall.
