Right Wrong
When tightening
the screws, be
sure to keep
bracket parallel to
the rail. Otherwise,
the rail may bow
when the opener is
operated.
• Align the 4 rail sections on a flat surface exactly as
shown. Center sections are interchangeable. Front
and back sections are not. Be sure the arrow
labels are pointing toward the door.
• Insert the carriage bolts so the square bolt necks
seat in the square holes in the rail sections and
pass through the square holes in the opposing rail
sections. Assemble lock nuts, ensure alignment
and tighten.
If rail is not assembled
exactly as shown, trolley
will not travel smoothly
along length of rail or it
will hit against nuts.
• Position the chain pulley bracket on the front end
of the rail as shown. Fasten securely with the
hardware shown. Lock Nut
