door-to-rail distance.

at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.

• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 on its side

on the top section of the door beneath the rail.

• The top of the door should be level with the top of the

motor unit. Do not position the opener more than 4"
(10 cm) above this point.
