To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to
CAUTION
structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise
garage door might not reverse when required. DO NOT
install header bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header
bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,
all of which are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might not reverse when
required.
SECTIONAL DOOR ONLY
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical
centerline of the garage door.
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 9) 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 9.
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. This
height will provide travel clearance for the top edge
of the door.
