otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket
over drywall.

hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.

balance.An unbalanced garage door mightNOT reverse when required.
l DO NOT enable the Timer-to-Close functionality if operating either one-piece or swinging
garage doors.To be enabled ONLY when operating a sectional door.
NOTE: If you are installing the garage door opener on a one-piece door, visit www.LiftMaster.com for
installation instructions.
Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.You can fasten the header bracketwithin 4 feet
(1.22 m) of the leftor right ofthe door center onlyif a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way;
or you can attach it to the ceiling when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside down
if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm). Ifyou need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall
or ceiling), use lag screws (notprovided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports.
Open your door to the highestpoint oftravel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the
header wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point. This heightwill provide travel clearance for the top edge of
the door.
