A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail
distance.
1. Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help at this
point if the ladder is not tall enough.
2. Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat on the top
section beneath the rail.
3. If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you raise
the door, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect

motor unit. The trolley can remain disconnected until
