    ASSEMBLY STEP 4
    Tighten the Chain
     Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the threadedshaft, away from the trolley.
     To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction shown.  As you turn the nut, keep the chain from
    twisting.
     When the chain is approximately 1/2 (13 mm) above the base of the rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner
    nut to secure the adjustment.
    Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too loose
    or too tight.
    When installation is complete, you may notice some chain
    droop with the door closed. This is normal. If the chain
    returns to the position shown when the door is open, do
    not re-adjust the chain.
    NOTE: During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the
    emergency release handle to disconnect trolley before
    adjusting chain.

    INSTALLATION STEP 1
    Determine the Header Bracket
    Location
    SECTIONAL DOOR ONLY
    1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline ofthe 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.
    To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
    • Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structuralsupport 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.
