The header bracket must be tightly screwed into the header right above the garage door.
Make use of the hardware, supplied by the manufacturer to attach the rail sections. Next, attach the rail to the motor unit.
Next, you need to install the belt or chain.
With the motor unit resting on the floor, position the rail against the header bracket. Carefully align the mounting holes and then position the spacers followed by sliding of the pin.
Insert the locking pin to secure the connection.
Now you are required to attach the motor unit with the angle brackets. In case you are replacing a garage door opener, you will already have an angle bracket in place. Otherwise attach the angle brackets to the framing.
The arm is the connecting link between the garage door and the rail trolley system. So carefully attach it to the two items.
Mount the optical sensors no more than 6 inches off the ground and make sure you align them carefully. Align them in a way that they “see” each other.
Position the wall opener high enough such to maintain it out of reach of small children.
If your garage door opener has keyless outdoor unit then attach it next to the door.
Attach any remaining loose wires to the motor unit and plug them in.
