Some installation instructions vary for sectional and one-piece doors. Follow only those instructions which apply to your door type.

Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, you will need a support bracket and additional fastening hardware. Refer to Step 4, Page 13 for specific requirements.

Do you have a lightweight or metal door (or does it have glass panels)? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required. Refer to Step 8, Page 17.

Operation of Your Opener

HOW THE DOOR MOVES WHEN THE OPENER IS

ACTIVATED

3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air).

7. The optional Protector System uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door from closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children.

CAUTION

HOW TO OPERATE THE DOOR MANUALLY

THE DOOR SHOULD BE FULLY CLOSED IF POSSIBLE. WEAK OR BROKEN SPRINGS COULD ALLOW AN OPEN DOOR TO FALL RAPIDLY. PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. DO NOT USE THE MANUAL RELEASE HANDLE TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN OR CLOSED.

• DO NOT PERMIT CHILDREN TO PLAY IN DOOR AREA.

CARE OF THE OPENER

When properly installed, opener will provide high performance with a minimum of maintenance. The opener does not require additional lubrication.

Most complaints of unsatisfactory opener operation can be traced to problems with the door itself. When operated manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs.

THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED OR BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY FAULTY DOOR HARDWARE.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments

must be checked and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required. Pages 20 and 21 refer to the limit and force adjustments. Follow the instructions carefully.

REPEAT THE SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADJUSTMENT. Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in the door operation, requiring some readjustments, particularly during the first year of operation.

THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (SEE GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT WITH A 1-lNCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR. FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GARAGE DOOR.

CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT: After installation of the

opener and adjustment of forces and limits, the chain may appear loose. This is normal.

TO CHECK THE CHAIN TENSION: Disconnect the trolley by pulling the red handle. If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 3 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustments.

REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER: The portable remote control may be secured to a car sun visor with the clip provided. Additional remotes can be purchased at any time for use in all vehicles using garage. Refer to Accessories on page 4.

Any new remotes must be set to the same code as the original remote. Code setting procedures are described on page 23.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY: The 12 Volt battery should produce power for at least one year. As long as there is adequate power, the transmitter battery test light will glow when the push button is pressed (and the opener will operate). When the light becomes dim or does not come on, replace the battery. If transmission range lessens, check the battery test light.
