WARNING

Do not raise door until horizontal tracks are secured at rear, as outlined in step, Rear Support, or door could fall from over- head position causing severe or fatal injury.

IMPORTANT: The end bearing bracket’s lower slots are used on doors with 12” radius track; the upper slots are used on doors with 15” radius track.

15	Center Bearing Bracket
	Tools: Step ladder, Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver, 1/4” Torx bit, Level,
	Tape measure, Pencil

Locate the center of the door. Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface above the door, at the center. Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing brackets, downwards, to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance upwards from the top of the door to the mounting surface, and mark a horizontal pencil line which intersects the vertical pencil line. Align the edge of the center bearing bracket with the vertical pencil line and the center of the bearing in the center bearing bracket with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion tube is level between the center and end bearing brackets.

Attach the center bearing bracket to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws and (1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.

IMPORTANT: Use a 5/16” x 1-5/8” tamper-resistant lag screw instead of the 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw if mounting surface is mounted over masonry. Tamper-resistant lag screw must be attached through the bottom hole of the center bearing bracket.
