Here’s how to put a garage door opener in place:

Step 1: Install the mechanism in the centre of the door. To determine the location, measure the width of the garage door with a tape measure. The centre is half this distance away. Draw a short vertical line down the centre of the door from the inside, toward the top. The door weight will be evenly balanced at the lifting point if the drawbar (the mechanism for raising and lowering the door) is attached at this line.

Step 2: Raise and lower the door while keeping an eye on the top point of its travel. Mark this location because the opener must be mounted so that the rail is higher than the door’s travel peak. Otherwise, as the door opens, it may collide with the rail.

Step 3: Examine the area directly above the garage door at your vertical dividing line; there should be a support suitable for attaching the front end of the rail there. Install a front mounting board if your garage lacks a structural member in that location. Center and secure a length of 2 X 6-inch plank across two wall studs over your mark of highest door travel with lag screws.

Step 4: Attach the rail to the motor unit on the garage floor, as directed in the kit instructions. Lift and fasten the outermost end of the rail to the front mounting plank at a location about two inches above the intersecting marks you made for your garage door’s high point and centre line, with the garage door down. Lag screws are typically used to secure the rail bracket to the front mounting plank. However, if bolts and nuts are provided, you must drill appropriate holes through the front mounting plank. Use washers under the bolt heads to prevent them from pressing into the wood

Step 5: Raise the motor assembly until the rail is horizontal or parallel with the door track. Raise and lower the garage door by hand while holding or supporting the motor assembly in this position to ensure that the rail location does not interfere with the door’s movement. Once you’ve determined the proper position and height for the motor assembly, secure it to the garage joists using the metal brackets included in the kit. If the motor assembly is between two joists, or if the garage joists run in the same direction as the rail, fasten a length of 2 X 4 across the joists before mounting the brackets to the 2 X 4.If your garage ceiling is finished, you can hang a 3/4-inch plywood panel from the joists with lag screws. Heavy-duty toggle bolts are used to secure the mounting hardware to the plywood panel.

Step 6: Connect the drawbar to the rail carriage and move it to the closed-door position. Mark and drill the holes for the drawbar mounting screws on the garage door. Insert and tighten the attaching hardware that secures the drawbar to the door after it has been mounted and the holes drilled.

Step 7: Adjust the drive chain or lead screw as needed, paying special attention to the location of the bolts that limit the chain’s travel.

Step8: Install the radio receiver and the manual push button. You can use regular bell wire for the push button, but make sure it is placed where you can see the garage door opener in action when you press it. An optional key switch can also be installed.

Step 9: Connect the drive assembly cord to an extension cord and then to a convenient receptacle. Use the manual push button to start the garage door. Pull the plug from the extension cord several times during the door’s first test rising to ensure that there is no binding and that the lifting action is satisfactory. Make any necessary adjustments using the built-in adjustment provisions.

Step 10: Unplug the extension cord and reconnect the drive assembly line cord to its permanent outlet. Connect the cord to the garage overhead light socket if possible.
