• With the door fully open and parallel to the floor, measure the
distance from the floor to the top of the door.
• Using a stepladder as a support, raise the top of the opener to
this height.
• The top of the door should be level with the top of the motor
unit. Do not position the opener more than 4" (10 cm) above
this point.

A 2x4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail
distance.
• Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help at this
point if the ladder is not tall enough.
• Open the door all the way and place a 2x4 laid flat on the top
section beneath the rail.
• If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you raise the
door, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect inner
and outer sections. Slide the outer trolley toward the motor
unit. The trolley can remain disconnected until Installation
