     WARNING: 
     Door springs are under high tension. If spring or its shaft is in the way, measure 2-1/2″ above spring or shaft on the garage door centerline and mark this height as your location for the header bracket. Do NOT move the door spring!
     NOTE:
     If the header bracket location needs to be above the header for the garage door opening, you need to add a “mounting surface.” A 2″ x 6″ board securely attached (board and fasteners not included) to wall studs on either side of your mark is sufficient (Fig. 2-3).
     NOTE: Fothe r header bracket and bolts, locate Bag 2 from Box 1.
     NOTE: The bolts supplied in Bag 2 are designed pressure pressure-treated lumber.
2. Mounting the header to the bracket.
