The way I have always done it was to assemble the unit on the floor, then
attach the rail end to the bracket that you mount above the garage door. Then
lift the motor unit and set it on top of a step ladder. Then use a box or
something as a spacer to lift it up to its final position if you can. Then
you can get all of the brackets to hang it from positioned exactly right and
mark everything. Then you might take it down and cut and mount all of the
support bracketry and then repeat the step of putting it on top of the ladder
again and bolt it in place.

as always, I have the obvious question:
I read the directions back and front, and don't see it...at what point does
the assembly get attached to the ceiling? I'd think assembling the motor and
rail on the floor and then lifting the whole thing would make the rail get
misaligned. on the other hand, it mentions turning the motor and rail over a
few
times in the directions.
right now, since it's not mentioned, I'm assuming the whole thing is
assembled on the floor then lifted into position. has any one installed one
of
these things?
hints, directions, etc. gladly accepted.
thanks.
scott
