Determine the HeaderBracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
• Headerbracket MUST be RIGIDLYfastened to structural
support on headerwall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might NOTreverse when required. DO NOT install header
bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting headerbracket
or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,ALL of which
are under EXTREMEtension.
• ALWAYScall atrained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced
garagedoor might NOT reversewhen required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door types.
Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Closethe door and mark the inside vertical centefline of the
garagedoor.
2. Extendthe line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4' (1.22 m) of the
left or right of the door centeronly if a torsionspringor
centerbearing plate is in the way; or youcan attach it to the
ceiling (see page 13) when clearance is minimal. (it may be
mountedon the wail upsidedown if necessary,to gain
approximately 1/2" (1 cm).)
If you need to install the headerbracket on a 2x4 (on wall or
ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the
2x4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 13.
3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on the headerwall above the
high point:
• 3" (7.5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) abovethe high point for one-piece door without
track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the
door.
NOTE:If the total number of inches exceedsthe height available
in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to
page 13 for ceiling installation.
