Position and Mount the Garage Door Opener

NOTE: For additional mounting options refer to the accessories page.
1. Close the garage door completely.
2. Slide the garage door opener onto the end of the torsion bar. If the torsion bar is too
long or damaged, you may need to cut the torsion bar.
Ensure the collar does NOT touch the bearing.
3. Use a level to position and vertically align the garage door opener. Verify the
mounting bracket is located on a solid surface such as wood, concrete or door/flag
bracket. If installing on drywall, the mounting bracket MUST be attached to a stud.
4. When the garage door opener is properly aligned, mark the mounting bracket holes.
If necessary, lightly tighten collar screws on the torsion bar to hold garage door
opener in place while marking holes.
NOTE: The garage door opener does not have to be flush to wall.
5. Remove the garage door opener from torsion bar. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes at the
marked locations. Drill through metal door rail plates if necessary.
NOTE: See Door Shaft Style images to identify your setup.
OPTION A: SOLID SHAFT WITH KEYWAY
INSTALLATIONS
6. For doors with solid shafts with a
keyway, slide the operator back onto
the torsion bar, ensuring that the
provided 1 in. key is in place and
aligned with the keyway on the collar.
Then, slide the garage door opener
back onto the torsion bar until the
pilot holes align with the mounting
bracket.
7. To secure the torsion bar, tighten the
two square head set screws furthest
from the operator. Begin by hand-
tightening both screws until they
make contact with the shaft or the
key. Then, tighten the screws 1/4 to
1/2 turn.
8. Operator Set Screws: Fully tighten the two set screws closest to the operator with
an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
9. Secure the mounting bracket to both the wall and the garage door opener. Use the
provided 14-10 x 2 in. screws to firmly fasten the mounting bracket to the wall.
To prevent the screws from coming loose, lock the screws in place by tightening all 4
lock nuts until the lock washer is fully flattened against the collar.
