2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m)
of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can
attach it to the ceiling (see page 12) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside
down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm). If you need to 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 page 12.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header
wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point:
l 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
l 8" (20 cm) above the 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 exceeds the
height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 12 for ceiling installation.

STEP 8 Install the door bracket
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of
door bracket. Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or
reinforcement kit. Failure to reinforce the top section as required according to the door manufacturer may void the
door warranty.
A horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, aluminum, steel, doors with
glass panel, etc.) (not provided). A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured to two or three
vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height of the top panel. Contact the garage door
manufacturer or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will
not need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.

Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:
l Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be
disabled.
l Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green
LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open
position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep
mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener
light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on
the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has
completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:
l Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
l Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct
sunlight.
l Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
2. ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate or play with garage
door control push buttons or remote controls.
3. ONLY activate garage door when it can be seen clearly, it is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions
to door travel.
4. ALWAYS keep garage door in sight and away from people and objects until completely closed. NO ONE
SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
5. NO ONE SHOULD GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPENED DOOR.
6. If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Use
caution when using this release with the door open. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in
an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly and increasing the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
7. NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
8. NEVER use handle to pull garage door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

Operation
Using your Garage Door Opener
l The garage door opener can be activated with a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless
keyless entry, MyQ
®
Smartphone Control app or MyQ
®
Garage Door Monitor. When the door is closed and
the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted
while opening the door will stop. When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door
opener is activated the door will close. If the garage door opener senses an obstruction while closing, the
door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door opener lights will blink 10
times. If the door is fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned, the
door will not close from a remote control, TTC, or the MyQ
®
Smartphone Control app. However, you can
close the door by holding the button on the door control or the ENTER button on the keyless entry until the
door is fully closed.
l The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored
after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lights will turn off automatically after 4-
1/2 minutes. The lights will turn on when someone enters through the open garage door and the safety
reversing sensor infrared beam is obstructed, see page 36. Use an incandescent A19 light bulb (100W
maximum) or for maximum energy efficiency a 26W (100W equivalent) compact fluorescent light (CFL)
bulb. NOTE: Do not use halogen, short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these may overheat the end panel
or light socket. Do not use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of your remote
controls.
To Open the Door Manually
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:
l If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak
or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
l NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
l NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Safety & Maintenance Guide
Garage Door Opener Safety An Automatic Decision
A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes which could lead to entrapment of children or adults and
subsequent injury or death.
Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system. Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are
also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm. Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this guide carefully and keep it for reference. Check
the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function in a safe and trouble-free manner. Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door openers manual as it provides more details and safety
considerations than can be supplied with this guide.
Garage Door Openers are Not Toys
Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.
Stay away from a moving door. The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of
children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away
from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly
see the closing garage door.
Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children.
Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control
devices.
Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the
wall-mounted push button or transmitter.

Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine. Review your owner’s manual for both the door and door opener. If you don’t have the owners manuals, contact the manufacturer(s)
and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.
WARNING Springs are under high tension. Only qualified individuals shouldadjust them.
Visually check the door and installation:
l Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
l Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
l These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
l If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
l Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6" from the garage floor.
Test the door for proper operation:
l Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
l The door should move freely and without difficulty.
l The door should balance and stay partially open 3–4 feet above the floor.
l If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
1
2
Test the opener safety features:
l Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
l Place a 2x4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2x4 and
then reverse direction.
l Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close
unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
l If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
