Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause opener malfunction and damage.

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

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.

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.

• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.

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.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 manual 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 control button 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 oneinch 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.

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following warnings before proceeding to the installation section:

WARNING

Tighten the Chain & Cable

• Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the threaded shaft, away from the trolley.

• To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction shown. As you turn the nut, keep the chain

from twisting.

• When the chain is approximately 1/2" above the base of the T-rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment.

Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too loose or too tight.

When installation is complete, you may notice some chain droop with the door closed. This is normal. If the chain returns to the position shown when the door is open,

do not re-adjust the chain.

NOTE: During future maintenance, pull the manual release handle to disconnect trolley before adjusting chain.

Determine Header Bracket Location

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a structural support on the header wall or ceiling, the safety reverse system may not work properly (see page 30).

The door might not reverse when required, and could cause serious injury or death.

The garage door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension.

Do not attempt to loosen, move or adjust them yourself. Serious personal injury or death could result.

Call for professional

garage door service.

WARNING

a torsion spring or center bearing

only

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.

Do not allow children to operate the push button(s) or the remote control transmitter(s).

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.

STANDARD WALL MOUNT

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 multi-function door control is typically attached directly to the wall. For pre-wired installations (as in new home construction) it can be mounted to a standard single gang box. See illustrations.

• Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell wire. Connect the wire to the two screw terminals on the back of the door control as follows: white wire to 2 and white/red wire to 1.

(NOTE: After installation, a green indicator light behind the white translucent cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will not function (reverse wires to correct).

• Before mounting, remove the white cover by gently pushing both thumbs against the upper corners of the cover on the

back side

of the door control (see

illustration).

•

For standard wall mount,

mark the wall about 1-1/4" up the centerline from the bottom of the door control. Install a 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screw at this point, allowing about 1/8" to protrude from the wall. Slip the lower part of the door control over the screw head and adjust for snug fit. Drill and install the top screw with care to avoid cracking the plastic housing.

Do not

overtighten.

Run the bell wire up the wall and across the ceiling to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure the wire in several places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a staple, creating a short.

•

For pre-wired installations,

partially install a 6-32x1" machine screw into the bottom of the gang box, allowing about 1/8" to protrude. Slip the lower part of the door control over the screw head and adjust for snug fit. Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic housing.

Do not overtighten.

• Connect the bell wire to the opener terminal screws as follows: white to 2 and white/red to 1.

• Replace the cover by inserting bottom tabs and snapping into place. To remove the cover after mounting, gently pry at the top with a paper clip or small flat head screwdriver.

Attach the Manual Release Rope and Handle

Do not use the red handle to pull the door open or closed.

The rope knot could become

untied and you could fall.

Use the manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed.

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.

• 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.

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.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

Installation Step 11

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.

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.

Assemble the Door Arm:

• Fasten the straight and curved door arm sections

together to the longest possible length (with a 2 or 3 hole overlap).

• With the door closed, connect the straight door arm section to the door bracket with the 5/16"x1-1/4" clevis pin.

• Secure with a ring fastener.

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 28. Follow adjustment procedures below.

Adjustment Procedures for One-Piece Doors

Open Door Adjustment:

Decrease UP limit

• Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 5-1/2 turns.

• Press the Door Control push bar. 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.

Closed Door Adjustment:

Decrease DOWN limit

• Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 5 complete turns.

• Press the Door Control push bar. The trolley will travel to the fully closed position.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

How and When to Adjust the Forces

Test the DOWN (close) force

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.

Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete cycle.

Test the UP (open) force

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.

Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door stops easily. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

If the door doesn't open

Having a Problem?

Opener operates from the remote control but not from the door control:

1. Is the door control push bar 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.

The door operates from the door control, but not from the remote control:

1. If the Lock button is on, turn it

The remote control has short range:

The garage door opens and closes by itself:

1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.

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.

The door doesn't open completely:

1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the

up force.

See page 29.

2. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

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.

1. Check the battery test light. If the light is dim, change the battery.

2. Change the location of the remote control in your car.

3. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully downward.

4. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed

insulation, or metal garage siding.

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.

Situation Probable Cause & Solution

The opener doesn't operate from either the door control or the remote control:

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 wall switch.)

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.

2. Is the door push button flashing? Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to instructions on the opener panel.

3. Does the battery test light glow when the remote control push button is pressed? If not, replace the battery.

4. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.

5. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

Having a Problem?

The opener strains or maximum force is needed to operate door:

The door may be out of balance or the springs are broken. Close the door and use the manual 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 for professional garage door service.

Do not increase the force to operate the opener .

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.

The opener won't operate due to power failure:

1. Use the manual release rope and 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 32.

2. 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.

The chain droops or sags:

It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the closed door position. Use the manual release rope and handle to disconnect the trolley. If the chain returns to the normal height when the trolley is disengaged and the door reverses on a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat), no adjustments are needed. (See page 11.)

The door opens but won't close:

The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light(s) don't blink:

1. Is something obstructing the door? Pull the manual 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.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

4. If door reverses in the

To Add the Keyless Entry

We recommend that you program your password before you install the Keyless Entry. You will not need assistance, and you can test the reception at the mounting location before installation.

If you have a Multi-Function door control:

With the door closed,

press the four digit password

desired, then press and hold Enter.

2. Press and hold the light button on the door control.

3. Press and hold the door control push bar.

4. After the opener lights flash, release all buttons.

If you do not have a Multi-Function door control:

1. Choose a 4-digit password using numbers from 0 to 9 (a number can be used more than once, for example, 4, 0, 4, 1).

2. Press the four buttons for the password, then press and

hold

the Enter button. The indicator light on the

door opener panel will blink.

3. Press and release the “Smart” (learn) button on the opener panel. After the opener lights flash, release the Enter button.

Test by pressing the password, then press Enter. The door should begin to move.

Setting a T emporary Password

In addition to your personal entry password which works at all times, a 4-digit temporary password can be added for the convenience of visitors or service persons. This allows authorized persons a way to gain temporary access.After a

programmed number of hours or number of accesses, this temporary password expires and will no longer open the door. The temporary password can be used to

the door even after it has expired. To set a temporary password:

1. Press the four buttons for your personal entry password

(not the last temporary password), then press and hold the ✽ button.

The opener light will blink three times. Release the button.

2. Press the temporary 4-digit password you have chosen,

then press Enter. The opener light will blink four times.

3. To set the number of

hours

this temporary password will work, press the number of hours (up to 255), then press ✽.

3. To set the number of

times

this temporary password will work, press the number of times (up to 255), then press #.

The opener light will blink once when the temporary password has been learned.

Test by pressing the four buttons for the temporary password, then press Enter. The door should move. If the temporary password was set to a certain number of openings, remember that the test has used up one opening.

To clear the temporary password, repeat steps 1-3, setting the number of hours or times to 0 in step 3.
