ONE-PIECE DOOR WITHOUT TRACK

• With the door fully open and parallel to the floor,

measure the distance from the floor to the top of the
door.

• Using a stepladder as a support, raise the top of the

opener to this height.

• 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 4

Position the Opener

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as
illustrated.

SECTIONAL DOOR OR ONE-PIECE DOOR WITH
TRACK

A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail
distance.

• 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 12 is completed.
