Installation
STEP 1 Determine the header bracket location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
l Header bracketMUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural supporton header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over
drywall.
l Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
l NEVER try to loosen, move or adjustgarage door, springs, cables,pulleys, brackets, or their
hardware, ALL ofwhich are under EXTREME tension.
l ALWAYS call a trained door systemstechnician if garage door binds,sticks,or is out ofbalance.
An unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your
door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.You can fasten the header bracket within 4
feet (1.22 m) of the leftor right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is
in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 12) when clearance is minimal. (It may be
mounted on the wall upside down if necessary,to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm). If you need to
install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely
fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 12.
3. Open your door to the highestpointoftravel as shown.Draw an intersecting horizontal line on
the header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point :
l 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
l 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door withouttrack.
This heightwill provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door. NOTE: If the total number of inches
exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 12 for
ceiling installation.
