INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determinethe Header BracketLocation
To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATH:
• Headerbracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural
support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garagedoor
might not reverse when required. DO NOTinstall header
bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting headerbracket
or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVERtry to loosen, move or adjust garagedoor, springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,ALL of which
are under EXTREMEtension.
• ALWAYScall a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance.An unbalanced
garage door might not reversewhen required.
Installation procedures vary according to garagedoor types.
Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Closethe door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the
garage door.
2. Extendthe line onto the headerwall above the door.
Youcan fasten the header bracketwithin 4 feet (1.22 m) of
the left or rightof the doorcenter only if a torsionspringor
center bearingplate is in the way; or you can attach it to the
ceiling (see page 13) whenclearance is minimal. (It may be
mountedon the wall upsidedownif necessary,to gain
approximately1/2" (1 cm).)
If you needto install the header bracket 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 page13.
3. Openyour door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high
point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without
track.
This height will provide travel clearancefor the top edgeof the
door.
NOTE:If the total number of inches exceedsthe height available
in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to
page 13for ceiling installation.
