Before you begin, survey your garage area to see whether any of the conditions below apply to your installation.
Based on your particular requirements, there are
several installation steps which might call for
materials and/or hardware not included in the carton.
• Step 1, page 12 - Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket
must
be
securely fastened to structural supports.
• Step 5, page 17 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.
• Safety reversing sensor, page 21 - Depending
upon garage construction, wood blocks may need
to be fastened to mounting locations before
sensors are installed.
• Step 10, page 22 - Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Step 11, page 24 - Do you have a steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal
and vertical reinforcement is required.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the
floor. It must close on the floor all the way
across. Otherwise, the safety reverse system
may not work properly. See page 30. Floor or
door should be repaired.
