PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
FOR HELP-1.800.354.3643 OR WWW.GENIECOMPANY.COM
Things to consider if you are planning to "Do-it-yourself."
This opener is designed for use with SECTIONAL doors only.
In many cases you will be replacing an existing door opener with a new one, however, if this
will be the first opener installed there are some pre-installation issues which need to be
addressed. They are as follows:
The Genie Company recommends that you read and fully understand all information and
instructions contained herein before choosing a "Do-it-yourself" installation. Any
questions should be directed to The Genie Company or an authorized Genie
®
Dealer.
1
Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the
position needed with respect to the garage door
opener. It may be necessary to add an
additional bracket and
fasteners (not included
with your new door opener kit).
(Refer to Section 2.)
2
Check the wall directly above the garage
door
. The door opener’s header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting
location. (
Refer to Section 2.)
3
Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam
®
System is clear from
obstruction and has a wood surface available
for attaching the mounting brackets
. The
brackets may be attached to concrete if necessary
but extra tools and special fasteners (not supplied)
will be required.
(Refer to Section 4 and 5.)
NOTE: Mounting brackets must be installed
within code specifications.
4
Is your sectional garage door made of
aluminum, light-weight steel, fiberglass
or glass panels
? Additional support bracing
must be added to these type doors. If this is the
case, please contact the door manufacturer or
authorized dealer so that they can furnish you
with a "bracing kit."
(Refer to Section 2.)
7
Insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. (
Refer to Section 10.)
If your door jams, binds, is improperly
balanced or has a broken spring, have it
repaired or adjusted by a trained door system
technician. Door springs, cables, pulleys,
brackets and associated hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death.
