Using a hack saw, cut pieces of the mounting straps that are a half inch longer than the measured length between the header bracket and the ceiling. NOTE: Mounting straps that will be attached diagonally should be cut longer than the vertical measured distance in figure 33. Connect straps to garage door opener and brackets using bolts, washers, and nuts. Tighten bolts and nuts with a 10 mm socket. NOTE: Install straps and nuts on the inside of the brackets (facing the rail). Remove the ladder and raise the door. If there isn't enough clearance between the rail assembly and the door, move the header bracket up and repeat the steps above.
