INSTALLING THE OPERATOR

STEP 2:

Raise the Tee Rail so that the Front Idler Bracket and

Front Mounting Bracket align. Insert bolt and tighten nut loosely for

now. Later in the installation, this nut must be tightened securely.

STEP 3

— Sectional Doors and One Piece Doors with Track:

Raise the Opener and rest the Power Unit on a ladder or other sturdy

support. Open the door the full open position. Allow 2" of space

between the Tee Rail and the top section of the door (as shown in the

illustration, below, far left).

STEP 3A

— One Piece Doors without Track: Raise the opener

and rest the power unit on a ladder or other sturdy support. Open the

door to the high arc position. Allow 2” of space between the tee rail

and the door (at the high arc position) as shown in the illustration,

below, left. The opener will be angled as shown. This is necessary

for proper operation.

NOTE:

Since the Opener will be secured permanently in this

position, open and close the door a few

times to be sure the door does not rub on the

Tee Rail and that you have allowed the

proper clearances before proceeding.

STEP 4:

Mount Power Head to Ceiling:

Since there is such variety in ceiling
structures, all the mounting possibilities for
the Power Unit cannot be illustrated here.
The main concern is mounting the Power
Unit securely to the ceiling joists for
operational strength, rigidity and safety.
Although there are a series of mounting slots
provided on the power unit, try to secure
the mounting straps in the slots closest to
the front.
Mounting may usually be
accomplished using standard
1-1/4“ perforated steel angle available at most hardware stores. If in doubt about location of, and attachment to, ceiling joists, a
carpenter should be contacted to provide assistance. A cross brace will be necessary if power head is mounted 8” or more from the
ceiling.

STEP 5:

Return to the Tee Rail/Front Mounting Bracket and securely tighten the bolt and nut that connect the Tee Rail Front

Idler bracket and the Front Mounting Bracket. (See Step 2, above).
