INSTALLATION To connect single-panel doors: Lower the garage door completely. Pull the emergency release rope down and slide outer trolley toward the garage door. Place the curved and straight arms together and align the holes. Choose two sets of aligned holes and install bolts and nuts. Tighten bolts and nuts with a 13 mm socket. NOTE: For better rigidity, install fasteners in holes that are as far apart as possible. Secure straight door arm to the door bracket using small clevis pin and hitch pin. Secure curved door arm to the rear of the outer trolley using medium clevis pin and hitch pin. INSTALLING THE SAFETY SENSORS See Figures 51 - 56. Locate the following items: Safety Sensors (2) Insulated Staples (approx. 16) Wing Nut (2) Bracket (2) Nail (2 in.) [2] Lag Screw (M8 x 1.5 in.) [2] Single Panel Door Lock Nut Bolt Single Panel Door Fig. 49 Hitch Pin WARNING: DO NOT operate the garage door opener unless the safety sensors are installed and working correctly. Failure to properly install and ensure that the safety sensors are working correctly can result in death or serious personal injury. WARNING: The top of the sensor should be between four and six inches above the floor. This will ensure that the door reverses should a child, pet, or small object move beneath the door as it lowers. Improper placement of the safety sensors can result in death or serious personal injury. WARNING: The effectiveness of the safety sensors included in this system directly relates to the placement and installation of the sensors. Incorrect placement or installation could prevent the sensors from working as intended and result in death or serious personal injury. Assemble the safety sensors by inserting the sensor stud through the long slot in the bracket and securing with a wing nut. Lower the garage door completely. Position both sensors on either side of the interior of the garage door and point the lenses toward each other. The arrow should be facing up.
