NOTE: Depending on your door, you may have Top Fixture Bases and Top Fixture Slides
or you may have Top Fixture Assemblies. Refer to Illustrations / Package Contents / Parts
Breakdown, to determine which Top Fixtures you have.
Starting on the left hand side, align the top fixture base 3” down from the top section or
below strut and even with the edge of the top section. The slotted half of the top fixture base
should be facing upwards. Fasten to section through end cap using (4) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16”
self drilling screws. Insert short stem track roller into top fixture slide. Repeat for other side.
NOTE: If needed, ensure the top fixture slides are able to slide back and forth along the top
fixture bases. If needed, loosen the (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts. The top fixture slide will be
tightened and adjusted later, in step, Adjusting Top Fixtures.

Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail in
the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the
hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last
(refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position flag angle or wall
angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the
bottom lag screw. Flag angles or wall angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat for
other side.
IMPORTANT: THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE
DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-
TION.
FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK: Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb
bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK OR RIVETED TRACK: Complete the vertical track instal-
lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical
track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the
curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.
FOR ANGLE MOUNT TRACK: Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb
bracket(s) and or tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track
rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the vertical
track, as shown. Repeat for other side.

IMPORTANT: WHEN CONNECTING A TROLLEY TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO THIS DOOR,
A WAYNE-DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR IF ONE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, ALONG WITH ANY STRUTS
PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR (IF A WAYNE-DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET WAS NOT
PROVIDED WITH YOUR DOOR, THAN USE THE ONE PROVIDED BY YOUR OPERATOR MANU-
FACTURER). THE INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR MUST BE ACCORDING TO MANUFAC-
TURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY.
NOTE: For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist-
ing operator.
NOTE: Refer to illustrations to determine which top fixtures were supplied with your door.
Follow the corresponding step below:
Place the bottom half inside the top half and flush against the inside surface of the top
section. Adjust both the top and bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section
surface. Secure the drawbar operator bracket bottom half and the top half together using (4)
5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts.
NOTE: Install the 5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts as far
apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.
