PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

• This opener includes parts and supplies needed for installation in most garages and on most garage doors. There are many variations of garages and garage doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed for installation in your garage and to your garage door. While going over these instructions, please note the additional items you may need. For help finding a local Genie®
• Professional Dealer, refer to the dealer locater at www.GenieCompany.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-35-GENIE.
• There are a few specific areas which might require extra materials. Measure the height of your door. For doors taller than 7′ and up to 8′ in height, you will need a Rail Extension Kit for the door to fully open.
• See section 4 – The header above the garage door where torsion springs are used–does it extend far enough above the spring(s) to allow mounting of the header bracket? If not, or if you can’t tell–you will probably need a piece of 2″ x 6″ lumber to span across wall studs.
• See section 6 – The area overhead where the powerhead will be mounted–if you have a finished ceiling, you will need a piece of perforated angle which can span across beams of trusses.
• See section 9 – Is there wood along the door tracks near the floor where the Safe-T-Beam® can be most easily mounted, or will you need fasteners or some other material for mounting to the track itself? Will you need extension brackets or wooden blocks to extend the Safe-T-Beam far enough off the wall to see past any door hardware?
• Is there an electrical outlet within approximately 3′ of the point where the opener will be? If not, you need to contact a licensed electrician.
• Check the condition of your door and all its associated hardware: Tracks, springs, hinges, rollers. Is anything loose or appear to be worn? If so, call a trained professional for an evaluation and repairs. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST SPRINGS OR THEIR ATTACHED PARTS!
• Operate the door manually. Does it move freely and smoothly? Check the balance of the door by manually lifting it halfway open and release. It should stay put or move very slowly. If not, call a service person for repairs.
• Remove all ropes and remove or disable all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener. It is also recommended that T-handles be removed. It is recommended that closed loop lifting handles with no protruding parts remain.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION VIDEO

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Overhead doors are large, heavy objects that move with the help of springs under high tension and electric motors. Since moving objects, springs under tension, and electric motors can cause injuries, your safety and the safety of others depends on you reading the information in this installation poster. If you have questions or do not understand the information presented, call The Genie Company (1-800-35-Genie). In this section, and those that follow, the words Danger, Warning and Caution are used to emphasize important safety information.

• Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in injury or property damage

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH

• DO NOT install opener on an improperly balanced door. An improperly balanced door could cause severe injury.
• Repairs and adjustments to cables, spring assembly, and other hardware must be made by a trained service person using proper tools and instructions.
• Remove all ropes and remove or disable all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.
• Where possible, install door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. For products having an emergency release, mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet above the floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to avoid accidental release.
• DO NOT connect the opener to the source of power until instructed to do so.
• Locate the wall console button: A) Within sight of door. B) At a minimum height of 5 feet so small children cannot reach it. C) Away from all moving parts of the door.
• Install the entrapment WARNING label next to the wall button or console. Install red emergency release handle on the emergency release cord.
• The opener must reverse when the door contacts a 1-1/2 inch high object on the floor at the center of the doorway. This is about the size of a 2″ x 4″ board laid flat.

ASSEMBLING/INSTALLING RAIL

• Align pulley in rail slot and insert clevis pin through header rail hole and idler pulley. Secure with a cotter pin.
• Insert 5/16”-18 x 2” bolt into header rail and secure with nut.
• Slide carriage assembly onto header rail section. Note “door” arrow will point toward the idler pulley.
• Insert rail sections together by hand as shown. Assembled length is approximately 9’3”.
• Insert sprocket support assembly into last rail section and place rail strap onto rail.
• Route chain/belt assembly gold threaded shaft around idler pulley and silver threaded end around the sprocket.
• Install the turnbuckle with “door” end arrow onto the gold threaded end by rotating counter-clockwise one full turn.
• Disengage the carriage assembly by rotating the release handle downward and insert the turnbuckle through the carriage as shown. Ensure chain/belt is not twisted or bound.
• Continue routing the chain/belt assembly until turnbuckle is near the middle of the rail. Insert silver threaded shaft into the turnbuckle and rotate turnbuckle counter-clockwise one full turn.
• Hold the chain/belt and rotate the turnbuckle with thumbs counter-clockwise until chain/belt is tensioned properly. Measure chain/belt tension on opposite side of rail until 1/4” from bottom of rail.

MOUNTING RAIL BRACKET ON HEADER

• Determine “highest point of door travel”:
  • Get on a ladder to the side of your garage door.
• Have someone lift the door open slowly.
• As the door is raised, and the highest point where the door extends above the door tracks—that is the highest point of door travel.
• For sectional doors this is typically where the top door roller exits the curved portion of the track onto the horizontal section as the door is raised.
• With a tape measure, determine the distance from the highest point of door travel to the floor.
• Place a mark on the header at the highest point of door travel, preferably at the center of the door (measured side to side).
• Position the header bracket above the highest point of travel:
• 2-1/2″ above highest point of door travel.
• Drill 5/32″ pilot holes in header and secure bracket with 5/16″ x 1-3/4″ lag screws.

ATTACHING RAIL TO BRACKET

• Elevate powerhead assembly and position header rail section (C) inside bracket.
• Align holes in rail with upper holes in bracket.
• Slide clevis pin through holes in rail and bracket and secure with cotter pin.
• Slide carriage near the powerhead now to prevent damage to the door for step 6a.

ATTACHING POWERHEAD TO CEILING (GREEN BAG)

• If possible, lift and support powerhead while a second person fully opens the door. Insert a 2 x 4 board, cardboard or towel between door and rail to protect door. Measure and mark the door centerline. Position powerhead over the centerline of door and allow it to rest on board. Otherwise, measure and mark ceiling 112″ * back from the header, aligned with the centerline of the door.
• Method A-For open ceilings with exposed joist, drill 5/32” pilot holes and secure included mounting straps to joist using 5/16” x 1-3/4” lag screws. Raise powerhead unit so that there is sufficient clearance between door and rail. Cut and/or bend mounting straps as needed to align with the powerhead and to level the rail. Secure powerhead to mounting straps using 5/16”-18 x 3/4” bolts and nuts. Ensure powerhead is centered with the door and remove the 2 x 4 board and/or other protective material.
• Method B-For finished or unfinished ceilings, attach perforated angle (not supplied) to joists using 5/16” x 1-3/4” lag screws and secure mounting straps to the perforated angle with 5/16″-18 bolts and nuts (not supplied). Raise powerhead so that there is sufficient clearance between door and rail. Cut and/or bend mounting straps as needed to align with the powerhead and to level the rail. Secure powerhead to mounting straps using 5/16”-18 x 3/4” bolts and nuts. Ensure powerhead is centered with the door and remove the 2 x 4 board and/or other protective material.
