NOTE: Three (3) piece rail assemblies are for a 7
foot high door.
Clear a workspace area to unpack and organize box
and contents for assembly.
1. There are 4 boxes inside the carton. Each box is
numbered 1 - 4. Note that some openers will
contain the same parts and be packaged with
fewer boxes. Carefully remove the three
internal boxes (Labeled #1, 2, and 3) and place
them on the floor for easy access (Fig. 1-1).
These boxes contain assembly parts and the
contents are organized by assembly tasks. For
quick reference inside the lid of each box there is
a label illustrating the components inside.
2. Remove the motor power head and place it on
the floor for later use. Remove box #4 and
place it on the floor for later use.
Do NOT run until opener is fully assembled and
instructed to do so.
