CAUTION
WARNING
To avoid damage to the garage door and
opener, disable locks before installing and
operating the opener. Use a wood screw or nail
to hold locks in the "open" (unlocked)
position.
Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause
opener malfunction and damage.
An unbalanced garage door might not reverse
when required and someone under the door
could be seriously injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of
balance, call for professional garage door
service. Garage doors, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious injury
or death. Do not try to loosen, move or adjust
them yourself!
Ropes left on a garage door could cause
someone to become entangled and killed.
Remove all ropes connected to the door before
installing and operating the opener.
Before you begin, complete the following test to
make sure your door is balanced, and is not
sticking or binding:
• Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. It should stay in place, supported entirely by
its springs.
Identify the type and height of your door and any
special conditions that exist and any additional
materials that may be required by referring to the lists
on page 4 or page 5.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Install only on a properly balanced and lubricated garage door. An improperly balanced door
may not reverse and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies
and other hardware must be made by a professional service person before installing opener.
3. Disable all locks and remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the opener.
Ropes connected to a garage door can cause entanglement and death.
4. If possible, install door opener 7 feet or more above floor with the emergency release handle
mounted 6 feet above the floor.
5. Do not connect the opener to power source until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the Door Control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small
children cannot reach and away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the User Safety Instruction Label on the wall adjacent to the door control and the
Maintenance Instruction Label in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.
8. Upon completion of the installation, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a
one-inch high object or a 2x4 laid flat on the floor.
9. Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing an opener. Jewelry or
loose clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the opener.

Installation Step 6
Install the Door Control
WARNING
Do not connect to live electrical wiring. Connect
only to 24 Volt low voltage wires. Connection to
live wires or higher voltage may cause serious
injury from shock, burn or electrocution.
Children operating or playing with a garage
door opener can injure themselves or others.
The garage door could close and cause
serious injury or death.
Locate the door control within sight of the door
at a minimum height of 5 feet where small
children cannot reach, and away from all moving
parts of the door and door hardware.
The door control is typically attached directly to the
wall. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use
the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as
in new home construction), Console models may be
mounted to a standard single gang box (Figure 2).
Install the door control (or any additional push
buttons) out of the reach of children and away
from all moving parts of the door and door
hardware, but where the garage door is visible.
Do not allow children to operate the push
button(s) or the remote control(s).
1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell
wire and connect it to the two screw terminals on
the back of the door control: white to 2, and
white/red to 1.
A moving garage door could injure someone
under it. Activate the opener only when the
door is properly adjusted, you can see it
clearly, and there are no obstructions to door
travel.
2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver
blade (see Figure 1). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4” self-
tapping screws (standard installation) or 6-32x1"

untied and you could fall. Use the emergency
release only to disengage the trolley and, if
possible, only when the door is closed.
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in
the top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right
side up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot.
Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open
when the handle is pulled, the door could
close inadvertently if it is not properly
balanced. Serious injury may result to persons
under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear
of persons and obstructions before pulling
handle when door is open.
The knot should be at least 1" from the end of
the rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole
in the release arm of the outer trolley.

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
To prevent electrocution or fire, installation
and wiring must be in compliance with local
electrical and building codes.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage
door opener has a grounding type plug with a third
grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding
type outlet.
Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,
or change the plug in any way to make it fit
your outlet.
If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.
To avoid installation difficulties,
do not run the opener at this time.
Wrong

The Safety Reversing System
Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a
required safety device and cannot be disabled.
WARNING
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be injured or killed by a closing garage door.
Read and follow all instructions.
Installation procedures are the same for sectional
and one-piece doors.
To protect small children, install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the studs on either side of the door,
or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in
masonry construction.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye. The units can be installed on
either side of the garage door as long as the sun
never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,
hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the
beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece
of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to
the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.
Look at the label on the connector end of each case
to identify the sensors.
The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other
as shown in Figure 1.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
garage door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position and the opener lights
will flash for 5 seconds.

and white/black to 3.
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These
can occur under staples or at screw terminal
connections.
Aligning the Safety Sensors
• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lights in both
the sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• An open wire (wire break).
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but
the receiving eye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is
off, dim, or flickering in the receiving eye (and the
invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign
either sensor.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and re-adjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or
misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close.
The opener lights will flash 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks are audible.) See page 21.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust
sensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receives
the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light
glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

CAUTION
Fasten Door Bracket
To prevent damage to steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel doors, always
reinforce the inside of the door both vertically
and horizontally with an angle iron.
Follow instructions which apply to your door
type as illustrated below or on page 25.
A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should
cover the height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of
angle iron are used to create a "U"-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.

Increase down travel. Turn the DOWN limit
adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn
equals 2" of travel.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release
handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door
is binding, call for garage door service. If the door is
not binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close)
force. See Adjustment Step 2.
If the door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the pulley bracket (see page 4 or 5), try
lengthening the door arm (see page 26).

Adjustment Step 2
Adjust the Force
WARNING
Too much force on the door will interfere with
the proper operation of the safety reverse
system. The door might not reverse properly
when required and could seriously injure or
kill someone under it. Do not increase the
force beyond the minimum amount required
to close the door. Do not use the force
adjustments to compensate for a binding or
sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse
system following all adjustments to force
levels. See page 30.
Force adjustment controls are located on the back
panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings
regulate the amount of power required to open and
close the door.
The door will stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the
down direction if anything interferes with its travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be
interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down
direction and stops in the up direction. Weather
conditions can affect the door movement, so
occasional adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees,
about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls
beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls
with a screwdriver.

How and When to Adjust the Forces
Test the DOWN (close) force
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door stops
easily. After each adjustment, run the opener through
a complete travel cycle.
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door
should reverse. Reversal halfway through down
travel does not guarantee reversal on a one-inch
obstruction. See page 30. If the door is hard to
hold or doesn't reverse, decrease the DOWN (close)
force by turning the control counterclockwise.
If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet
Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until
door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limit if
necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle
and the opener lights aren't flashing
Test the UP (open) force
Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the
door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment,
run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do
not increase the force beyond the minimum
amount required to close the door.
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should
stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,
decrease UP (open) force by turning the control
counterclockwise.

Adjustment Step 3
Test The Safety Reversing Sensor
WARNING
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could be
seriously injured or killed if trapped by a closing
garage door. Repeat this test once a month.
• Press the remote control push button to open the
door.
• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
• Press the remote control push button to close the
door. The door will not move more than an inch,
and the opener lights will flash.
Professional service is required if the opener
closes the door when the safety reversing
sensor is obstructed.
The garage door opener will not close from a
remote control if the indicator light in either
sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that the
sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
The garage door can be closed by pressing and
holding the Door Control push button until down
travel is completed.

Test the Safety Reverse System
WARNING
Failure to test and adjust the safety reverse
system may result in serious injury or death to
persons trapped by a closing garage door.
Repeat this test once a month and adjust as
needed.
Test:
GARAGE DOOR
• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the
floor, centered under the garage door.
• Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on striking the obstruction.
Adjustment:
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling
far enough in the down direction.
• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN
limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
• Repeat the test.
On a sectional door, make sure limit
adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a
straight up and down position. See the
illustration on page 26.
• When the door reverses on the one-inch board,
remove the obstruction and run the opener through
3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.
1 Inch Obstruction
Important safety check
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 4 after:
If the door will not reverse after repeated
adjustment attempts, call for professional
garage door service.
• Each adjustment of door arm length, force controls
or limit controls.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door
(including springs and hardware).
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
5. If possible, use the emergency release only
when the door is in a closed position. Caution
should be taken whenever the disconnect cord
is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken
springs may cause the door to fall rapidly,
causing injury or death to persons.
2. Do not permit children either to operate or to
play with the opener. Keep remote control in a
location inaccessible to children.
3. Operate opener only when the door is in full
view and free from any obstruction. Keep the
door in sight until it is completely closed.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING DOOR.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY
BALANCED. See page 3. An improperly
balanced door may not reverse when required
and could result in severe injury or death.
Repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other
hardware must be made by a professional
garage door person.
4. Check safety reversal system monthly. See
page 30. The garage door MUST reverse on
contact with a 2x4 board laid flat on the floor. If
an adjustment is made to either the force or
the limit of travel, both adjustments may be
needed and the safety reversal system must be
checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener
may result in severe injury or death.
7. Disconnect the electric power to the garage
door opener before making any repairs or
removing the covers.

Having a Problem?
Situation
Probable Cause and Solution
1. Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light,
check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a door switch.)
The opener doesn't
operate from either
the Door Control or
the remote control:
2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on Page 11.
3. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the
ground. Remove any restriction.
4. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.
5. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait
15 minutes. Try again.
Opener operates
from the remote
control, but not from
the Door Control:
1. Is the Door Control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener terminal screws.
Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same time with a
piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the Door
Control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 18.
1. Is any door push button flashing? If your model has the Lock feature, make sure the
lock is Off.
The door operates
from the Door
Control, but not from
the remote control:
2. Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to Instructions on the
opener panel.
3. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.
4. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.
The remote control
has short range:
1. Change the location of the remote control in your car.
2. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully
downward.
3. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed
insulation, or metal garage siding. (Antenna Extender Kit 41A3504)
Opener noise is
disturbing in living
quarters of home:
If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living
quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to
minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.
The garage door
opens and closes
by itself:
1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons are not stuck in the “ON” position.
2. Remove the bell wire from the Door Control terminals and operate from the remote
control only. If this solves the problem, the Door Control is faulty (replace), or there is
an intermittent short on the wire between the Door Control and the opener.
3. Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.
The door doesn't
open completely:
1. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.
2. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the
up force. See page 29.
3. If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One turn
equals 2 inches of travel. See page 28.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door stops but
doesn't close
completely:
Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.
Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close
force or down limit.

Having a Problem? (continued)
Situation
Probable Cause & Solution
The door opens but
won't close:
1. If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor. See page 23.
2. If the opener lights do not blink and it is a new installation, check the down force.
See Adjustment Step 2, page 29. For an existing installation, see below.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door reverses for
no apparent reason
and opener lights
don't blink:
1. Is something obstructing the door? Pull the red emergency release handle. Operate
the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door
service.
2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 29.
4. If door reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the travel limits (page 28).
Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need
for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is normal. Weather
conditions in particular can affect door travel.
The door reverses for
no apparent reason
and opener lights
blink for 5 seconds
after reversing:
Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye.
See page 23.
The opener light:
. . . doesn't turn on:
Replace the light bulbs (75 watts maximum). Use a standard neck garage door opener
bulb if regular bulb burns out.
. . . doesn't turn off:
Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.
The door may be out of balance or the springs are broken. Close the door and use the
emergency release to disconnect the trolley. Open and close the door manually. A properly
balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it
does not, disconnect the opener and call a professional garage door serviceman. Do not
increase the force to operate the opener.
The opener strains or
maximum force is
needed to operate
door:
The opener motor
hums briefly, then
won't work:
1. The garage door springs are broken. See above.
2. If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener, door may be locked. Disable
the door lock. If the chain was removed and reinstalled, the motor may be out of phase.
Remove the chain; cycle the motor to the down position. Observe the drive sprocket.
When it turns in a clockwise direction and stops in the down position, reinstall the chain.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The opener won't
operate due to
power failure:
1. Use the emergency release to disconnect the trolley. The door can be opened and closed
manually. When the power is restored, press the Door Control push button and trolley will
automatically reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.) See page 32.
2. The Outside Trolley Release accessory (for use on garages with no service door)
disconnects the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.
The chain droops
or sags:
It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the closed door position. Use the
emergency release to disconnect the trolley. If the chain returns to normal height when
the trolley is disengaged and the door reverses on a one-inch board, no adjustments
are needed (see page 11).
