Planning

Identify the type and height of your garage door.Survey your garage area to see if any of theconditions below apply to your installation. Additionalmaterials may be required. You may find it helpful torefer back to this page and the accompanyingillustrations as you proceed with the installation ofyour opener.

Depending on your requirements, there are severalinstallation steps which may call for materials orhardware not included in the carton.

Installation Step 1 Look at the wall or ceilingabove the garage door. The header bracket mustbe securely fastened to structural supports.

Installation Step 5 Do you have a finished ceilingin your garage? If so, a support bracket andadditional fastening hardware may be required.

Do you have an access door in addition to thegarage door? If not, Model 1702E Outside QuickRelease is required. See Accessories page.

Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.Any gap between the floor and the bottom of thedoor must not exceed 6 mm. Otherwise, the safetyreversal system may not work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 3. Floor or door should berepaired.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS

Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glasspanel door? If so, horizontal and verticalreinforcement is required (Installation Step 10).

The opener should be installed above the center ofthe door. If there is a torsion spring or centerbearing plate in the way of the header bracket, itmay be installed within 1.2 m to the left or right ofthe door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 10.

Planning (Continued)

ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS

Generally, a one-piece door does not requirereinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer tothe information relating to sectional doors inInstallation, Step 10.

Depending on your doors construction, you mayneed additional mounting hardware for the door

bracket (Step 10).

Without a properly working safety reversal system,persons (particularly small children) could beSERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garagedoor.

The gap between the bottom of the garage door andthe floor MUST NOT exceed 6 mm. Otherwise, thesafety reversal system may not work properly.

The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired toeliminate the gap.

The installation surface must besmooth and flat. If installing into drywall (Figure1), drill4 mm holes and use anchors provided. For pre-wiredinstallations (as in new home construction), it may bemounted to a single gang box (Figure 2).NOTE:After installation, a green indicator light behindthe cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, theLock and Light features will not function (reverse wiresto correct).

1. Strip 11 mm of insulation from one end of bell wireand connect to the two screw terminals on back ofdoor control by color: white wire to 2 and white/redwire to the 1 (Figure 3).

2. Remove white cover by gently prying at slot in topof the cover with a small flat head screwdriver

(Figure 4). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"self-tappingscrews (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machinescrews (into gang box) as follows:

Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 3 mm toprotrude above wall surface.

Position bottom of door control on screw head andslide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.

Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastichousing. Do not overtighten.

Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover. (To removecover after mounting, gently pry at top with paperclip or small flat head screwdriver.)

NOTE:The push bar may stick if the door control isnot mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is notheard when pressing the push bar, loosen the twomounting screws or relocate the door control to asmoother surface.

3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up walland across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulatedstaples to secure wire in several places. Do notpierce wire with a staple, creating a short or opencircuit.

4. Strip 11 mm of insulation from end of bell wire.Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals asfollows: white to white and white/red to red

Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run theopener at this time.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage dooropener has a grounding type plug with a thirdgrounding pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet youhave, contact a qualified electrician to install theproper outlet.

If permanent wiring is required by your localcode, refer to the following procedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 22 mmdiameter hole in the top of the motor unit:

Remove the motor unit cover screws and set thecover aside.

Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on thebrass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to thescrew on the silver terminal; and the ground wireto the green ground screw. The opener must begrounded.

Reinstall the cover.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the

opener at this time.

RIGHT WRONG

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH fromelectrocution or fire:

Be sure power is not connected to the opener, anddisconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover toestablish permanent wiring connection.

Garage door installation and wiring MUST be incompliance with all local electrical and building codes.

NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, orchange plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be surethe opener is grounded.

To prevent damage to garage door, reinforce inside ofdoor with angle iron both vertically and horizontally.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Fasten the Door Bracket

Follow instructions which apply to your door typeas illustrated below or on the following page.

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be longenough to be secured to two vertical supports. Avertical reinforcement brace should cover theheight of the top panel.

The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as thehorizontal brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces ofangle iron are used to create a "U"-shaped support(Figure 1). The best solution is to check with yourgarage door manufacturer for an opener installationdoor reinforcement kit. If your door is a canopy ordual-track style garage door, a door arm conversionkit is required. Follow the installation instructionsincluded with the replacement door arm.

NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide fordirect attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. Inthis case you will not need the door bracket; proceed

to Installation Step 11.SECTIONAL DOORS

Center the door bracket on the previously markedvertical centerline used for the header bracketinstallation. Note correct UP placement, asstamped inside the bracket (Figure 2).
