To install the opener, you will need the following tools:

Level
Tape measure

Once you have gathered your tools, you can begin the installation process by following these steps:

Mount the rail. The first step is to mount the rail to the ceiling. To do this, you will need to drill two holes in the ceiling and insert the included bolts. Then, you can hang the rail on the bolts and tighten them until the rail is secure.

Attach the motor unit. The next step is to attach the motor unit to the rail. To do this, you will need to slide the motor unit onto the rail and secure it with the included bolts.

Install the door bracket. The next step is to install the door bracket to the garage door. To do this, you will need to drill two holes in the door and insert the included bolts. Then, you can hang the door bracket on the bolts and tighten them until the bracket is secure.

Connect the door arm. The next step is to connect the door arm to the door bracket and the motor unit. To do this, you will need to insert the end of the door arm into the hole in the door bracket and then secure it with the included pin. Then, you will need to attach the other end of the door arm to the motor unit using the included bolts.

Adjust the travel limits. The next step is to adjust the travel limits so that the door opens and closes to the desired height. To do this, you will need to loosen the bolts that hold the travel limit screws in place and then turn the screws until the door opens and closes to the desired height. Once you are satisfied with the travel limits, tighten the bolts to secure the screws.

Program the remote control. The final step is to program the remote control so that you can open and close the door from your car. To do this, you will need to press the "learn" button on the motor unit and then press the button on the remote control.

Maintenance

Lubricate the moving parts. The moving parts of the opener should be lubricated with a light oil every few months.
