Attach the Collar to the Garage Door Opener
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed
to do so.
The garage door opener can be installed on either side of the door (see Planning section
page 3). The illustrations shown are for installation on the left side of the door.
1.
Loosen the set screws on the collar. Ensure that the lock nuts are fully loosened.
2.
Attach the collar to the garage door opener output shaft. Ensure the collar is seated
all the way on the operator shaft until it reaches the stop.
3.
Position the collar so the screws align with two of the holes in the output shaft.
These screws should be easily accessible when the operator is attached to the
torsion bar.
4.
Begin to tighten the two square head set screws closest to the operator. Ensure
that the tips of the set screws are aligned with the holes in the shaft, and tighten
until fully engaged with the holes. It may be necessary to use a tool, but DO NOT
overtighten at this time.
NOTE: Make sure to feel with a finger that the set screw tips are just starting to protrude
through the holes of the tube, then stop tightening for now. You will not fully tighten the
set screws until a later step.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, the collar MUST be properly
tightened. The door may NOT reverse
correctly or limits may be lost due to
collar slip.
