QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • What extension kit do I use for a 2028 model with a one piece rail chain drive.

    We do not have extension kits that would work with the one-piece professional rails.

  • Which extension kit would I need for my Genie chain drive 750 3/4 HPc, model 7035-tkv to operate for a 10' door?

    The Genie Chain Drive 750 with the added extension kit will only work on up to an 8-foot high garage door. We do not have extension kits that go higher than 8-feet. If you have a 10-foot high garage door, we would recommend contacting a Genie professional dealer. You can locate one here. They have models with 10-foot rails that can accomodate your garage door.

  • is there an extension kit for model #1/2 hp IC250/A

    We no longer have the extension kit for the IC250/A model garage door opener.

  • Im looking to purchase a door opener for a new install. The door is 10' high, which opener and options are available?

    For a 10-foot high garage door, we would recommend the wall mount style garage door openers.

    The 1028 ReliaG Professional unit normally has a 1-piece rail and would not take an extension kit. If it had a 3-piece C-Channel rail, then yes this would fit.

  • Which extension kit would I need for my Genie Ultra-Quiet, model 7155L-TKV to operate an 8’ door?

    You would need the 39026R (ektb).

10. At the door end of the rail, slide the carriage back into the rail. Make sure the door arrow points toward the door. Fig. 7

11. Slide the rail coupler and 12-inch rail extension onto the pulley end of the rail. Coupler will slide onto the pulley end rail section until it meets the stop tab on the bottom of the rail. Align the 12-inch extension to the coupler with the pulley guard screw holes. Fig. 8

12. Slide the pulley guard into the rail. Position the chain through the alignment slots of the pulley guard. Insert the two pulley guard screws and tighten. The screws should align with the clearance holes on the rail coupler. Fig. 9

14. Slide the pulley assembly into the rail until it hooks onto the edges of the rail end. Check to make sure both sides of the pulley assembly are hooked on the rail end. The holes in the ends of the pulley assembly should match up with the mounting holes at the end of the rail. Important: confirm the pulley pin is still in place. Fig. 10-11

15. On the other end of the rail, slide the drive sprocket assembly to adjust its position until the tabs rest in the slots in the rail end. Insert two mounting screws and tighten with a 1/4” wrench or socket. Fig. 12.
Note: This is also illustrated in step 1G on the assembly & installation poster.

16. On the door end (pulley), tension the chain by tightening the adjustment nut on the pulley assembly until the chain does not ride on the rail (approximately 1/8” off the rail. Fig. 11
Note: This is also illustrated in step 2 on the assembly & installation poster.

17. Tie the short red release cord to the existing release cord on the carriage. This will allow for the cord to be within reach following installation.

18. Proceed to step 3 on the Genie ChainDrive assembly & installation poster.
