5. Setup and Installation
The Schellenberg Smart Drive garage door opener is 90% pre-assembled for quick and easy installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Garage Door: Ensure your garage door operates smoothly manually and is properly balanced. Lubricate any moving parts if necessary.
- Mount the Rail System: Attach the rail sections together. Securely mount the rail system to the ceiling of your garage, centered above the garage door opening. The rail should extend towards the back of the garage.

- Electrical Connection: Plug the garage door opener into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply is stable.
- Limit Switch Adjustment: Follow the instructions in the separate quick start guide (if provided) or the full manual for setting the open and close limits of the garage door. This is crucial for proper operation and safety.
- Test Operation: After installation and limit setting, test the opener multiple times using the remote control. Ensure the door opens and closes fully and smoothly.
