WARNING  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH:  
Before you begin:  
• Disable locks.  
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if  
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An  
unbalanced garage door may not reverse when  
required.  
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door  
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, all  
of which are under EXTREME tension.  
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to

• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.  
Complete the following test to make sure your  
garage door is balanced and is not sticking or  
binding:  
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release  
the door. If balanced, it should stay in place,  
supported entirely by its springs.  
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any  
binding or sticking.  
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a  
trained door systems technician.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from  
electrocution:  
INSTALLATION STEP 6  
Install the Door Control  
Locate door control within sight of the door at a  
minimum height of 5 feet where small children cannot  
reach, and away from moving parts of the door and  
door hardware. The installation surface must be  
smooth and flat. If installing into drywall (Figure 1),  
drill 5/32" holes and use anchors provided. For pre-  
wired installations (as in new home construction), it  
may be mounted to a single gang box (Figure 2).  
NOTE: After installation, a green indicator light behind  
the cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, the  
Lock and Light features will not function (reverse wires  
to correct).  
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door  
control.  
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a

endpanel or light socket.  
INSTALLATION STEP 8  
Attach the Emergency Release  
Rope and Handle  
WARNING  
• To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from  
a falling garage door:  
– If possible, use emergency release handle to  
disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is  
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced  
door could result in an open door falling rapidly  
and/or unexpectedly.  
– NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage  
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.  
• 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 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.  
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope  
knot becomes untied, you could fall.  
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above  
the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.  
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the  
cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

WARNING  
Electrical Requirements  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from  
electrocution or fire:  
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the  
opener at this time.  
• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and  
disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to  
establish permanent wiring connection.  
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in  
compliance with all local electrical and building codes.  
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or  
change plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure  
the opener is grounded.  
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. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you  
have, contact a qualified electrician to install the  
proper outlet.

INSTALLATION STEP 10  
WARNING  
®
Install The Protector System  
• Be sure power is not connected to the garage door  
opener BEFORE installing 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.  
• To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing  
garage door:  
– Correctly connect and align the safety reversing  
sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be  
disabled.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT  
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR  
– Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO  
HIGHER than 6" above garage floor.  
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor  
will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic  
beam. The sending eye (with an orange indicator  
light) transmits an invisible light beam to the  
receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an  
obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is  
closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open  
position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.  
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the  
brackets must be securely fastened to a solid  
surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets  
(see accessories) are available if needed. If installing  
in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at  
each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry  
if repositioning is necessary.  
The units must be installed inside the garage so that  
the sending and receiving eyes face each other  
across the door, no more than 6" above the floor.  
Either can be installed on the left or right of the 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) may interrupt the  
beam while the door is closing.  
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the  
track of sectional garage doors without additional  
hardware.

Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use  
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.  
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS  
• Strip 7/16" of insulation from each set of wires.  
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to  
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals.  
Twist like colored wires together. Insert wires into  
quick-connect holes: white to white and white/black  
to grey (Figure 5).  
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 at staples, or at opener connections.  
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.  
• A broken wire.  
ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS  
Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the  
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if  
wiring connections and alignment are correct.  
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but  
the receiving eye indicator light doesn't:  
• Check alignment.  
The sending eye orange indicator light will glow  
regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green  
indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or  
flickering (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.  
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 blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not  
installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 17.  
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust,  
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.  
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust  
sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When  
the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the  
wing nut.

2. Adjustment procedures, Figure 5:  
• On one-piece doors, before connecting the door  
arm to the trolley, the travel limits must be  
adjusted. Limit adjustment screws are located on  
the left side panel as shown on page 24. Follow  
adjustment procedures below.  
– Manually close the door and lift the door arm to  
the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just  
ahead of the door arm connector hole. Refer to  
the fully closed trolley/door arm positions in the  
illustration. If the arm is behind the connector  
hole, adjust the limit further. One full turn  
equals 2" of trolley travel.  
• Open door adjustment: decrease UP  
travel limit  
– Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-  
clockwise 5 1/2 turns.  
3. Connect the door arm to the trolley:  
• Close the door and join the curved arm to the  
connector hole in the trolley with the remaining  
clevis pin. It may be necessary to lift the door  
slightly to make the connection.  
– Press the Door Control push button. The trolley  
will travel to the fully open position.  
– Manually raise the door to the open position  
(parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to  
the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just  
in back of the door arm connector hole. Refer  
to the fully open trolley/door arm positions in  
the illustration. If the arm does not extend far  
enough, adjust the limit further. One full turn  
equals 2" of trolley travel.  
• Secure with a ring fastener.  
• Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. If  
the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open  
position as shown in the illustration, decrease the  
UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.  
NOTE: When setting the up limit on the following  
page, the door should not have a "backward" slant  
when fully open as illustrated below. A slight  
backward slant will cause unnecessary bucking  
and/or jerking operation as the door is being opened  
or closed from the fully open position.  
• Closed door adjustment: decrease DOWN  
travel limit  
– Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw  
clockwise 5 complete turns.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1  
WARNING  
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,  
persons (particularly small children) could be  
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage  
door.  
• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will  
interfere with proper operation of safety reversal  
system.  
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel  
Limits  
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which  
the door will stop when moving up or down.  
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push  
bar. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.  
• Does the door open and close completely?  
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the  
other control may also need adjustment.  
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse  
unintentionally when fully closed?  
• After ANYadjustments are made, the safety reversal  
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on  
contact with one-inch high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on  
floor.  
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit  
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test  
fails (Adjustment Step 3, page 26).  
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read the  
procedures carefully before proceeding to  
Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit  
adjustments. Run the opener through a complete  
travel cycle after each adjustment.  
CAUTION  
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door  
provides adequate clearance.  
NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during  
adjustment procedures may cause the motor to  
overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and  
try again.  
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward  
travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the  
door’s downward travel (including binding or  
unbalanced doors), it will reverse.  
2-4"  
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS  
Cover Protection  
Bolt  
• If the door does not open completely but opens  
at least five feet:  
Left Side Panel  
Limit Adjustment Screws  
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment  
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.  
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover  
protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4"  
between the trolley and the bolt.  
ADJUSTMENT LABEL  
• If door does not open at least 5 feet:  
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in  
Adjustment Step 2.  
• If the door does not close completely:  
• If the door reverses when closing and there is  
no visible interference to travel cycle:  
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit  
adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn  
equals 2" of travel.  
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety  
Reversing Sensors are either not installed,  
misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,  
page 19.  
If door still won't close completely and the trolley  
bumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), try  
lengthening the door arm (page 22) and  
decreasing the down limit.  
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency  
release handle. Manually open and close the door.  
If the door is binding or unbalanced, call for a  
trained door systems technician. If the door is  
balanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN  
(close) force. See Adjustment Step 2.  
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:  
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit  
adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2"  
of travel.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2  
WARNING  
Adjust the Force  
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,  
persons (particularly small children) could be  
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage  
door.  
Force adjustment controls are located on the back  
panel of the motor unit. Force adjustment settings  
regulate the amount of power required to open and  
close the door.  
• Too much force on garage door will interfere with  
proper operation of safety reversal system.  
• NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount  
required to close garage door.  
• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a  
binding or sticking garage door.  
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the  
other control may also need adjustment.  
• After ANYadjustments are made, the safety reversal  
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on  
contact with one-inch high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on  
floor.  
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 about  
3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls  
beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls  
with a screwdriver.  
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward  
travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the  
door’s downward travel (including binding or  
unbalanced doors), it will reverse.

Controls  
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES  
1. Test the DOWN (close) force  
Back Panel  
• 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 Adjustment Step 3, page 26.  
If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,  
DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turning  
the control counterclockwise. Make small  
adjustments until the door reverses normally. After  
each adjustment, run the opener through a  
complete cycle.  
KG  
KG  
• If the door reverses during the down (close)  
cycle and the opener lights aren't flashing,  
INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning the  
control clockwise. Make small adjustments until the  
door completes a close cycle. After each  
Antenna  
adjustment, run the opener through a complete  
travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the  
minimum amount required to close the door.  
2. Test the UP (open) force  
FORCE ADJUSTMENT LABEL  
• Grasp the door bottom when the door is about  
halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3  
WARNING  
Test the Safety Reversal System  
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,  
persons (particularly small children) could be  
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage  
door.  
TEST  
• With the door fully open, place a one-inch board  
(or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the  
garage door.  
• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.  
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the  
other control may also need adjustment.  
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal  
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on  
contact with one-inch high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on  
the floor.  
• Operate the door in the down direction. The door  
must reverse on striking the obstruction.  
ADJUST  
• 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.  
NOTE: 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 22.  
• Repeat the test.  
• 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.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:  
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 after:  
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or  
force controls.  
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door  
(including springs and hardware).  
One-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat)  
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.  
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.  
ADJUSTMENT STEP 4

Having a Problem?  
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but  
not from the remote control:  
1. The opener doesn't operate from either the  
Door Control or the remote control:  
• Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has  
the Lock feature, make sure it is off.  
• 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 wall switch.)  
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review  
installation instruction warnings on page 7.  
• Program the opener to match the remote control  
code. (Refer to instructions on the motor unit  
panel.) Repeat with all remotes.  
4. The remote control has short range:  
• Change the location of the remote control in your  
car.  
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door?  
The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove  
any restriction.  
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it  
replaced.  
• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload  
protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes and try  
again.  
• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back  
panel of motor unit extends fully downward.  
• Some installations may have shorter range due to  
a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal  
garage siding.  
5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of  
home:  
2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from  
the Door Control:  
• 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.  
• Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If  
the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection  
at the door control, a short under the staples, or a  
broken wire.  
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review  
Installation Step 6, page 14.

11. The door reverses for no apparent reason and  
opener lights blink for 5 seconds after  
reversing:  
Having a Problem? (Continued)  
6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:  
• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are  
off.  
• Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any  
obstruction or align the receiving eye. See  
Installation Step 10.  
• Remove the bell wire from the door control  
terminals and operate from the remote 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 motor unit.  
12. The opener lights don't turn on:  
• Replace the light bulbs (100 watts maximum). Use  
a standard neck garage door opener bulb if regular  
bulb burns out.  
• Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.  
13. The opener lights don't turn off:  
7. The door doesn't open completely:  
• Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.  
• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of  
balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the  
obstruction or repair the door.  
14. The opener strains or maximum force is  
needed to operate door:  
• The door may be out of balance or the springs  
may be broken. Close the door and use the  
emergency release handle 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  
trained door systems technician. Do not increase  
the force to operate the opener.  
• If the door is in good working order but now  
doesn't open all the way, increase the up force.  
See Adjustment Step 2.  
• If the door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits  
may need to be increased. One turn equals 2  
inches of travel. See Adjustment Step 1.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is  
complete.  
8. The door stops but doesn't close completely:  
15. The opener motor hums briefly, then won't  
work:  
• Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on  
page 24.  
• The garage door springs may be broken. See  
above.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment  
of door arm length, close force or down limit.  
• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the  
opener, door may be locked. Disable the door lock.  
9. The door opens but won't close:  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is  
complete.  
• If the opener lights blink, check the safety  
reversing sensor. See Installation Step 10.  
16. The opener won't operate due to power  
failure:  
• If the opener lights don’t blink and it is a new  
installation, check the down force. See Adjustment  
Step 2. For an existing installation, see below.  
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect  
the trolley. The door can be opened and closed  
manually. When power is restored, press the Door  
Control push bar and trolley will automatically  
reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.)  
See page 28.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment  
is complete.  
10. The door reverses for no apparent reason and  
opener lights don’t blink:  
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the  
emergency release handle. Operate the door  
manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a  
trained door systems technician.  
• The Outside Quick Release accessory (for use on  
garages with no service door) disconnects the  
trolley from outside the garage in case of power  
failure.  
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area  
where the door closes.  
• Review Adjustment Step 2.  
• If door reverses in the fully closed position,  
decrease the travel limits (Adjustment Step 1).  
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.
