Hang the Opener
Two representative installations are shown. Yours

ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket to
structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
(See Accessories).
Toavoid possible SERIOUSINJURYfrom a falling
garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural
supports of the garage. Concreteanchors MUST be used
