SECTIONAL DOOR OR ONE-PIECE DOOR WITH
TRACK
A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-
rail distance.
• Remove foam packaging.
• Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help
at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.
• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat on
the top section beneath the rail.
• If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you
raise the door, pull down on the trolley release arm
to disconnect inner and outer sections. Slide the outer
trolley toward the motor unit. The trolley can remain
disconnected until Installation Step 13 is completed.

at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.
• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 on its side
