INSTALLATION STEP 3

Attach the Rail to the Header Bracket

NOTE: (Optional) With some existing installations, you
may re-use the old header bracket with the two plastic
spacers included in the hardware bag. Place the spacers
inside the bracket on each side of the rail, as illustrated.

• Position the opener on the garage floor below the

header bracket. Use packing material as a protective
base. NOTE: If the door spring is in the way, you will
need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on
a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the
spring.

• Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.

• Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin

as shown.

• Insert a ring fastener to secure.
