INSTALLATION STEP 13

Connect Door Arm to the Trolley

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated below and on the following page.

SECTIONAL DOORS ONLY

Make sure garage door is fully closed. Pull the emergency release handle to disconnect the outer trolley from the inner trolley. Slide the outer trolley back (away from the pulley) about 8" (20 cm) (Figures 1, 2 and 3).

Figure 1:

-Fasten straight door arm section to outer trolley with the 5/16"x1" clevis pin. Secure the connection with a ring fastener.

-Fasten curved section to the door bracket in the same way, using the 5/16"x1-1/4" clevis pin.

IMPORTANT: The groove on the straight door arm MUST face away from the curved door arm (Figure 4).

• Figure 2:

- Bring arm sections together. Find two pairs of holes

that line up and join sections. Select holes as far

apart as possible to increase door arm rigidity.

• Figure 3, Hole alignment alternative:

- If holes in curved arm are above holes in straight

arm, disconnect straight arm. Cut about 6" (15 cm)

from the solid end. Reconnect to trolley with cut end

down as shown.
