PRODUCT FEATURES
The purpose of this booklet is to provide assembly,
installation and operation information concerning the
herein described Residential Garage Door Opener and
related Accessory Products.
NOTICE
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD
COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLATION OR
OPERATION IS ATTEMPTED.
NOTICE
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING
ITS USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE
EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING,
MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE
EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT
USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER
THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE - OPERATING
OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS.
STANDARD FEATURES:
Digital Radio Controls: This opener is equipped with
a transmitter pre-programmed to one of over nineteen
thousand private codes. The transmitter can be reprogrammed without difficulty using the external
operation buttons. The power head is easily
programmed to accept the transmitter signal.
(PageZ11)
Safe Finish™ Photosystem: An invisible infrared
beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a
downward moving door if the beam is broken by a
stationary or moving object. The opener’s motor
control circuitry constantly monitors the Safe Finish
Photosystem for proper operation.
Super Station (Deluxe Wall Push Button): A
feature-packed accessory unit, the Super Station allows
access to all of the opener's functions. Independent
Open, Close, and Stop buttons permits full control of
the door’s operation. The opener's built-in light can be
turned on or off independent of door operation. A
Learn Enable button allows programming of the radio
controls at floor level. A Security Switch allows the
opener to be deactivated for extended periods of time.
A Security Disable switch is provided if the garage
door is the only entryway into the garage. Lighted
Push Buttons enhance nighttime use. (Page 17)

Manual Release: A pull cord allows separation of
the drive mechanism and manual operation of the
door when desired, as in the event of a power failure.
(Page 7)
Automatic Reconnection: Once power is restored,
or automatic operation of the door is again desired,
initiating operation in the normal manner (Push
Button, Radio Control, etc.) will effect automatic
reconnection of the Manual Release Mechanism.
(Page 7)
Alternating Action Operation: The mechanical
wall pushbutton functions in an Open/Stop/Close/
Stop & Reverse mode in normal operation. (Page 15)
Sensing System: A built-in sensing system detects
obstructions during door operation. If in the
downward (close) travel mode, the opener will sense
an obstruction and reverse the direction of the door.
In the open mode, the opener will stop. Since all
doors are different, the Sensing System has
independent adjustments for customizing the level of
force required for the normal opening and closing of
specified doors. ( Page 16)
Close Limit Switch: In winter months it's common
for small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped
under the door. Ground swelling can also effect the
close limit setting of the opener. The opener’s Close
Limit Switch overrides the Sensing System during
the last one inch of closing travel and prevents the
door from reversing if it encounters an obstruction at
this point.
Constant Contact To Close Operation: For utmost
safety and security, the operation mode allows
constant contact on the mechanical Push Button to
close the door if the Safe Finish™ Photosystem
beam becomes misaligned or if there is an
irregularity in the wiring to the device. In this mode
of operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to
close the door.
OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Wireless Keyless Entry System: A tamper resistant
outdoor keypad, the optional Wireless Keyless Entry
System permits entry to the garage without use of
key or radio transmitter. Easily programmable, it
accommodates a 4 digit PIN code (10,000 possible
combinations). Lighted Buttons enhance nighttime
use. The opener has the ability to learn the PIN
codes from two separate Wireless Keyless Entry
Systems.

STEP 1: Protect the Power Unit cover from
scratching during assembly by placing it on cardboard.
Remove the two 5/16"-18 washered nuts and save
them for later use.
STEP 2: Position the Tee Rail/Chain Assembly box
near the Power Unit. Open the box and locate the

with the Power Unit) and slide it onto the Tee Rail/
Chain Assembly with the arrow on the Trolley
pointing toward the door (Front Idler).
STEP 4: Using a 1/2" wrench, loosen the outer nut
on the Chain Tension Bracket until it is at the end of
the threaded rod. Remove and discard the small
"S" hook used to keep the chain tight during
shipping.
STEP 5: Loop the chain around the Idler and Drive
Sprocket on top of the Power Unit and then position
the Tee Rail on the studs. Secure with the two nuts
removed in Step 1.
Slightly tension the Chain by tightening the outer nut
on the Chain Tension Bracket. Remove and discard
the tape at each end of the Tee Rail Assembly. After
double-checking the Chain's alignment with the Drive
Sprocket and Front Idler Wheel, use the inner and
outer adjusting nuts on the Chain Tension Bracket to
adjust the chain to the proper tension, making sure the
chain does not twist. When correctly adjusted, the
104365
Chain should show no droop and
be approximately 1/2" above the
base of the Tee Rail.
NOTE: If the chain is too loose or too tight, improper operation
and/or excessive sprocket noise may result.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 6: Position the open and close Limit Switch
Actuators to accept the Limit Cams on the chain, as
shown. Install the Chain Guard by sliding the
key-shaped hole onto the groove on the Idler Sprocket
Shaft and fully seating the rear hole over the Drive
Sprocket Shaft. The Limit Cams are installed at the
factory. Their settings should be considered
temporary and may be changed as required during
installation.
STEP 7: Install the Rubber Bumper into its
mounting hole on the Tee Rail (see illustration above
for location). Secure the Bumper to the bottom of the
Tee Rail using one 5/16"-18 X 1" hex head bolt and
