Important: When connecting a trolley type garage door opener to this door, a Wayne-Dalton operator/ trolley bracket must be securely attached to

the top section of the door if one has been provided, along with any struts provided with the door (if a Wayne-Dalton operator/ trolley bracket was not provided with your door, than use the one provided by your operator manu- facturer). The installation of the operator must be according to manufac- turer’s instructions and force settings must be adjusted properly.

NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist- ing operator.

NOTE: Refer to illustrations to determine which top fixtures were supplied with your door.

Follow the corresponding step below:

A:Place the bottom halve of drawbar operator bracket inside the top halve of drawbar opera- tor bracket and flush against the inside surface of the top section. Adjust both the top and bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section surface. Secure the bottom halve drawbar operator bracket and the top halve drawbar operator bracket together using (4) 5/16”-18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16”-18 flange hex nuts.

NOTE: Install the 5/16”-18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16”-18 flange hex nuts as far apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.

Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar op- erator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket assembly vertically.

Slide the top halve of the drawbar operator bracket under the strut, keeping the drawbar operator bracket aligned with the center line. Remove the strut’s screws, if necessary and attach to the top section (through strut if necessary) using (3) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws.

NOTE: If your door lacks a strut on the top section, ignore the previous paragraph.

Attach the bottom halve of the drawbar operator bracket to the section surface using (3) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws.

NOTE: When attaching drawbar operator bracket to top section with strut, apply additional pressure to thread into the strut.

B:Locate the center of the top section. Position the drawbar operator bracket under the strut (if applicable) or align the drawbar operator bracket top edge with the top edge of the top section, as shown.

Attach the drawbar operator bracket using (3) 1/4”–20 x 7/8” self drilling screws (as shown).
