USE ORANGE PARTS BAG
PLUGS IN SMALL CLEAR BAG
Figure 1
1. If marked header bracket position
is above header, attach 2" x 6" board
across wall studs to create
mounting location.
2. Place bracket on your line and mark
hole locations. Drill 5/32" pilot holes.
3. Fasten bracket with lag
screws provided.
Figure 2
4. Carefully lean rail/opener assembly against garage door wall with
pulley assembly next to header bracket. Place cardboard, rag or any
soft material under powerhead to protect it. It may be necessary to
elevate the powerhead in order for the rail to clear the torsion spring.
5. Align pulley assembly and rail with side holes in
bracket and fasten with clevis pin and push nut.
STEP 4 – Mounting Powerhead
Continue supporting the opener.
(This step is easier with two people.)
1. Align opener with center of door. Measure from each side of door to where rail meets
powerhead. Measurements must be equal. Figure 1. Mark location.
2. Attach Mounting Straps in position.
3. While supporting opener, carefully open door. Raise opener to desired height, being
sure to allow clearance between rail and door as door passes through its highest point:
– This should be at least 2" on a one-piece door.
– Rail should be near level with fl oor on a sectional door.
4. Fasten opener to mounting straps using nuts and bolts indicated. Figure 2.
STEP 5 – Attaching Door Bracket
SECTIONAL DOOR (Lightweight)
Doors come both with & without braces where door bracket
attaches. Illustration a. and b. (without) and c. (with).
1. Regardless: the door bracket location is the same. On door centerline and higher than the top
set of door rollers.
• With a brace you may need to drill mounting holes through it. You may also be able to attach door
arm directly to the brace and eliminate the need for the door bracket.
2. Using door bracket as a template–mark the hole locations.
3. Drill 1/8" pilot holes and fasten with 1/4"-20 x 3/4" self-drilling screws provided.
SECTIONAL DOOR (Wooden)
1. Follow Lightweight instructions 1 and 2.
2. Drill 5/16" holes completely through door and fasten with 5/16" x 2" carriage bolts and nuts
(not furnished).
ONE-PIECE DOOR
1. Hold door bracket on door centerline, high as possible, on door face or top edge (preferred) and
mark hole locations.
2. For top edge (illustration d.):
• Drill 5/16" holes through door frame. Fasten with 5/16" x 2" bolts and nuts.
Face mount (illustration e.):
• Drill 5/16" holes through top door frame and fasten with 5/16" x 4-1/2" carriage bolts and nuts.
OR Fasten using 1-1/2" to 2" lag bolts. You must drill pilot holes to avoid splitting the frame.

* Some units are equipped with amotion sensor.
Take special care to prevent damage.
This sensor works by detecting
body heat. Range of detection
may be reduced when temperature
in the garage is close to body
temperature. (DO NOT remove
foam cushion from underside
of opener.)
This opener includes parts and supplies needed for installation in MOST garages and on MOST garage doors. There are many variations of garages and
garage doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed for installation in YOUR garage and to YOUR garage door. While going over the checklist below,
used–does it extend far enough above the spring(s) to allow mounting of the Header Bracket. If not, or if you can’t tell–you will probably need a piece of 2" x 6"
need fasteners for mounting to the track itself or some other material? 4) Measure the height of your door. If it is taller than 7', you will need a Rail Extension Kit.
Is there an electrical outlet within approximately 3' of the point where the powerhead will be? If not you need to contact a licensed electrician.
Check condition of the door and all its associated hardware: Tracks, springs, hinges, rollers. Is anything loose or appear worn? If so, call a trained profes-
sional for an evaluation and repairs if needed. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST SPRINGS OR THEIR ATTACHED PARTS!
Operate the door manually. Does it move freely and smoothly? Check the balance of the door by lifting it by hand approximately halfway open and let go. It
should stay put or move very slowly. If not, call a trained professional for repairs.
Remove all ropes and remove or disable all locks connected to the garage door. It is also recommended tha T-handles be removed. Closed loop lifting
handles with no protruding parts can remain.
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALL ATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. If you have any questions or do not understand an instruction, call The Genie®
Company or your local Genie® Factory Authorized Dealer.
2 Do Not install operator on an improperly balanced door. An improperly balanced door could cause severe injury. Repairs and adjustments to cables, spring
assembly, and other hardware must be made by a trained service person using proper tools and instructions.
3 Remove all ropes, and disable all locks connected to the door before installing operator.
4 Install door operator 7 feet or more above the floor. Mount the emergency release knob 6 feet above the floor.
5 Do Not connect the operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.
6 Locate the control button: A) Within sight of door. B) At a minimum height of 5 feet, so small children cannot reach it. C) Away from all moving parts of the door.
7 Install the entrapment WARNING label next to the wall button or console. Install the emergency release tag on, or next to, the emergency release Handle.
8 The operator must reverse when the door contacts
a 1-1/2 inch high object on the floor at the center of the doorway. This is about the size of a 2” x 4” board laid flat.

1. Safe-T-Beam® does not have to be mounted
on garage door frame. Can be mounted
anywhere along garage door wall. Must
have clear line of sight between them
and top of lens must be between
5"- 6" above fl oor.
2. Hold mounting brackets against
desired surface , mark holes fasten with
lag screws or appropriate fasteners for

STEP 7 – Installing Wall Console
USE ORANGE PARTS BAG
Use only a Series III wall console when adding a second. The optional second Genie® Series III wall
console must be purchased separately.
1. Route wire from powerhead to desired location for
wall console. Some homes are pre-wired and they may not be color-coded. The wall console circuit
is not polarized, therefore, either wire may be connected to either terminal without a problem.
2. Secure wire with insulating staples and cut off excess wire.
3. Attach wires to wall console as shown. Insert opposite end of wire through Control Wire Tube on
powerhead illustrated above and attach as shown.
4. Mount wall console with #6 screws provided.
