Hang The Opener - Craftsman 139.53965SRT Manual Del Propietário

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Hang the Opener
Three representative installations are shown. Yours
may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished
ceilings (Figure 2) attach a sturdy metal bracket to
structural supports before installing the opener. This
bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.
(See Accessories.)
If you have existing brackets from a previous
installation, you may fasten them to the mounting
tabs as shown in Figure 3. Then continue with step
5 below.
1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor
unit to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths.
3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with
5/16"-18xl -7/8" lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with
5/16"-18x7/8" hex screws, lock washers and nuts.
If you wish to utilize a previous installation, you
must fasten a supplied hanging bracket diagonally
to the two existing brackets. See Figure 3.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the
door (or in line with the header bracket if the
bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If
the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
