POSITION AND HANG MOTOR UNIT
1 Open Door to Full Open Position and Rest Rail
on a 2x4 to Position Opener at the Proper Angle for Hanging from the Ceiling
2 x 4
WARNING
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage door opener, fasten it securely to structural supports of the garage.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to garage door, rest garage door opener rail on 2 x 4 placed on top section of door.
If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you raise the door, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect inner and outer sections. Slide the outer trolley toward the motor unit. The trolley can remain disconnected until installation is completed.
NOTE: The garage door opener motor head will typically sit lower than the header bracket, therefore, the rail will be at an angle.
2 Attach Hanging Brackets to Ceiling and Fasten Motor Unit to Hanging Brackets
NOTE: Before the motor unit is secured to the ceiling, insure that the motor unit and rail are centered over the door. If you mounted the header bracket off center, hang the motor unit the same distance. Concrete anchors must be used if installing any brackets into masonry.
