Planning

Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey your
garage area to see if any of the conditions below apply to your
installation. Additional materials may be required. You may find it
helpful to refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several installation
steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the
carton.
Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above the
l
garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to
structural supports.
Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in your
l
garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening
hardware may be required.
Installation Step 12 – Depending upon garage construction,
l
extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install
sensors.
Installation Step 12 – Alternate floor mounting of the safety
l
reversing sensor will require hardware not provided.
