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 plate.
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/fl ag
bracket.
4. When the garage door opener is properly aligned, mark the mounting bracket holes.
If necessary, 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 fl ush to wall.
5. Remove the garage door opener from torsion bar. Drill 3/16 inch pilot holes at the
marked locations. Drill through steel plate if necessary.
6. Slide the garage door opener back onto the torsion bar until pilot holes align with
bracket. Tighten the fi rst pair of collar screws 1/2 turn, then tighten the other pair
1/2 turn. Continue tightening, alternating sides to ensure an even clamp on the
motor shaft and torsion bar. Tighten screws to 12-14 ft./lbs. of torque (Figure 1).
7. Draw a line across the motor shaft, collar and torsion bar with a permanent marker
as a reference. If the collar slips in the future resulting in issues with open/close
limits, the line will help determine the correct position of the collar.
8. Lift the garage door enough to turn the collar 180°. Securely tighten both set screws
(Figure 2).
9. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall and to the garage door opener. Use the
14-10x2" screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
10. Secure the antenna wire with a staple to prevent antenna from being entangled in a
door roller.
