RE NSTALLATION
This Opener includes parts and supplies needed to install in most garages and
connect to most garage doors. There are many variations of garages and garage
doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed to install Opener into
your garage and connect to your garage door. While checking items listed
below, note any additional items you will need.
Tools used in this section:
• 12'+ Tape Measure
Check following items before assembling Opener:
Check Step 1:
Check condition of vertical stile in center of door (Figure 2), and its connection
to door's top and bottom beams.
A If door frame is nailed together and not a solid connection, door frame
must be braced or reinforced before installing Opener.
B If door is "lightweight" (made with frame and skin - not solid), door
(including door frame) must be braced or reinforced before
installing Opener.
C A door opener reinforcement bracket may also be needed to connect
garage door to Opener's Door Bracket. This Opener is designed for
installation on a properly braced sectional door or solidly braced
one-piece door.
D Contact your Genie Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your garage
door for any necessary bracing and a door opener reinforcement
bracket (if needed) before proceeding.
E If you have a wooden door, measure door's thickness. (1/4" x 2") Lag
Screws are included for installing Door Bracket onto door. If your door
is less than 2" thick, brace door or use shorter Door Bracket Lag
Screws (1/4" x 1-1/4" – not included)
Check Step 2:
A Raise door, check alignment and see if it moves freely (Figure 1). If door
appears out of alignment, binds, or does not move smoothly, contact a
Genie Factory Authorized Dealer or dealer of your garage door for repairs
and adjustments to door mechanism.
B Raise door to 3' – 4' above ground and carefully let go. Door should stay
stationary. Slight movement is acceptable. More than slight movement
means door is out of balance. Contact a Genie Factory Authorized
Dealer or dealer of
your garage door
for repairs and
adjustments to door
mechanism.
C Check door type.
Make a note of
whether it is a
sectional or a
one-piece door
(Figure 2).
