Place the top section in the opening. Install a nail to prevent the top section from falling 

backwards. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges 

first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. 

Position flag angle or wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the 

edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sec-

tions. Repeat for other side.

IMPORTANT: 

THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE 

DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-

TION.

FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:

 Complete the vertical track installation by securing the 

jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track 

rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; 

tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

FOR ANGLE MOUNT TRACK:

 Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb 

bracket(s) and or tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track 

rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the vertical 

track, as shown. Repeat for other side.

IMPORTANT: 

WHEN CONNECTING A TROLLEY TYPE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO THIS DOOR, 

A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO 

THE TOP SECTION OF THE DOOR IF ONE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, ALONG WITH ANY STRUTS 

PROVIDED WITH THE DOOR (IF A WAYNE DALTON OPERATOR/ TROLLEY BRACKET WAS NOT 

PROVIDED WITH YOUR DOOR, THAN USE THE ONE PROVIDED BY YOUR OPERATOR MANU-

FACTURER). THE INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR MUST BE ACCORDING TO MANUFAC-

TURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND FORCE SETTINGS MUST BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY.

NOTE:

 For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket must be aligned with an exist-

ing operator.

NOTE:

 Refer to illustrations to determine which drawbar operator bracket were supplied with 

your door. Follow the corresponding step below:
Place the bottom half inside the top half and flush against the inside surface of the top 

section. Adjust both the top and bottom halves out as far apart as possible on the section 

surface. Secure the drawbar operator bracket bottom half and the top half together using (4) 

5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and (4) 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts.

NOTE:

 Install the 5/16” - 18 x 1/2” carriage bolts and the 5/16” - 18 flange hex nuts as far 

apart as possible, prior to securing both top and bottom halves together.
Now, locate the center of the top section and align the center of the holes in the drawbar op-

erator bracket assembly with the top section center line. Align the drawbar operator bracket 

assembly vertically.

NOTE:

 For retro fit applications, the drawbar operator bracket assembly must be aligned with 

an existing operator.
