ASSEMBLY STEP 1

Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end (see illustration). The hole above this window is larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the far end. NOTE: Using the sequence above the clips will be facing down.

1.Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.

2.Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.

CAUTION

To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.

NOTE: Rail sections may be assembled with the clips up or down (down is preferred) disassembly of rail may damage clips.

3.Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top. For convenience, put a support under the front end of the rail.

4.As a temporary trolley stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole 10" (25 cm) away from the front of the rail, as shown.

5.Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose during shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.

6.Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back end to the screwdriver.
