NOTE: A 25mm board is convenient for setting an
ideal door-to-T-rail distance. It is not necessary
when headroom is insufficient.
PROCEDURE: Raise the opener onto a stepladder.
Open garage door. Place a 25mm board on the top
section of door near centerline as shown. Rest T-rail
on 25mm board as shown.
PROCEDURE: Measure the distance from floor to top of
door (in fully open position and parallel to the floor). Using a
stepladder as a support, raise opener to the same distance
from the floor (it will have a slight angle as shown).
The top of the door should be level with the top of

THE OPENER MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED
TO A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OF THE GARAGE.
Two representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure 1)
to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings (Figure 2) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) to structural supports
before installing opener.
PROCEDURE: Measure the distance from EACH side
of the opener to structural support.
Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or
twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the
brackets holes. Drill 5mm pilot holes in the structural
supports. Attach flattened ends of brackets to
suppports with 5/16"x1-7/8" lag screws.
Lift opener and fasten to hanging bracket as shown.
Check to make sure T-rail is centered over door.
REMOVE 25MM BOARD. Operate door manually. If
door hits the rail, raise header bracket.
