ASSEMBLE THE OPENER
Determine “highest point of door travel”:
1. Get on a ladder to the side of the garage door.
2. Have someone lift the door open slowly.
3. As the door is raised, nd the highest point where the
door extends above the door tracks—that is the highest
point of door travel. This is typically where the top door
roller exits the curved portion of the door track onto the
horizontal section as the door is raised.
4. With a tape measure, determine the distance from the
highest point of door travel to the floor.

mounting holes intersect with this line.
8. Drill 5/32" pilot holes in header.
9. Secure header bracket with 5/16" x 1-3/4" lag screws.
NOTE: If door spring rest where door bracket should be
mounted using the instructions above, move door bracket
just above door spring.
4. Slide clevis pin through holes in rail and bracket and
secure with cotter pin.
5. Slide carriage near the powerhead now to prevent
damage to the door for the next step.

PARTS LIST
FOR USE ON SECTIONAL DOORS ONLY
PREINSTALLATION 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 specic areas which might require extra materials:
• Measure the height of the garage 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 2 - 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 3 - The area overhead where the powerhead will be
mounted–if you have a nished ceiling, you will need a piece of
perforated angle which can span across beams of trusses.
• See section 5 - Is there wood along the door tracks near the oor
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 o 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 condition of the 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.
4) Insert rail sections together by hand as shown.
Do not force sections together
5) Insert sprocket support assembly into last rail section and place rail strap
onto rail.
6) Route chain/belt assembly gold threaded shaft around idler pulley and
silver threaded end around sprocket. (NOTE: BELT TEETH SHOULD FACE
RAIL)

1) Align pulley in rail slot and insert clevis pin through header rail hole and
idler pulley. Secure with cotter pin.
2) Insert 5/16”-18 x 2” bolt into header rail and secure with nut.
3) Slide carriage assembly onto header rail section. Note “door” arrow will
point towards idler pulley.
7) Install turnbuckle with “door” end arrow onto the gold threaded
end by rotating counter-clockwise one full turn.
TIP! : To minimize chain/belt twist, hold
threaded shafts with hands and rotate
turnbuckle with thumbs.

9) 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.
8) Disengage carriage assembly by rotating
release handle downward and insert
turnbuckle through the carriage as shown.
Ensure chain/belt is not twisted or bound.
10) Hold chain/belt and rotate 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.
