The idrive™ garage door opener is best installed in combination with the door installation steps. Refer to this idrive™ installation insert when you reach Step 12 TorqueMaster™ installation, in the main door installation instructions and owners manual. When instructed to slide the center bracket/bushing onto the torque tube, replace that step with the follow- ing instructions below, which will provide the steps necessary to install the TorqueMaster™ system, as well as the preliminary installation steps for the idrive™ garage door opener.

Lay the torque tube on the floor (inside garage) in front of the door with the labeled end to the left. NOTE:
Opener will not slide over a torque tube label.
Attempting to slide opener over the left end of the torque tube can damage the internal electronics.
NOTE: Hold opener by the main body. Do NOT hold by the motor.
Look into the opener’s left side to ensure the left hand bearing and the internal (black) sleeve are aligned with the torque tube profile. Once aligned, slide the opener power head onto the right hand end of the torque tube. As the right end of the torque tube enters the internal (black) sleeve, rotate the opener back and forth slightly to help aid alignment.
NOTE: Do not force the opener onto the torque tube if misalignment occurs.
