For Garage Wall or Door Track Installation

•Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets having square holes, using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

For Door Track Installation Only

•Discard slotted bracket. Drill 3/8" holes in each track and fasten securely with hardware as shown in Figure 3.

For Wall Installation

•Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the hardware shown in Figure 4. Note alignment of brackets for left and right sides of the door.

•Finger tighten the lock nuts.

•Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door, 4"-6" above the floor (but not exceeding 6"). (See warning on page 17.)

•Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws as shown in Figure 4.

•Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the same distance out from mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared. Tighten the nuts securely.
