PREPARING YOUR GARAGE DOOR
Before you begin:
• Disable locks (contact your door manufacturer for
information on disabling your door locks.)
• 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.
If you have a one-piece door, the installation of your
garage door opener will be different. Follow the assembly
instructions included in this manual then proceed to the
Installation Instructions For One-Piece Doors included with
the garage door opener.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• 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
garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage door
opener to avoid entanglement.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating
the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid
malfunction and damage.

PLANNING
WARNINGWARNING
Identify the type and height of your garage door. If you
have a one-piece door, follow the assembly
instructions contained in this manual and refer to the
Installation Instructions One-Piece Door for installation
procedures. Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditions below apply to your installation. Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to refer
back to this page and the accompanying illustrations as
you proceed with the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or hardware
not included in the carton.
• Installation Page 10 – Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Page 12 – Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Page 13 – Do you have a steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and
vertical reinforce ment is required.
• Installation Page 18 – Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be
needed to install sensors.
• Installation Page 18 – Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage door.
• The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor
MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate
the gap.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 7702CB Outside Quick Release is
required. See Accessories page.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any
gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must
not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal
system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3.
Floor or door should be repaired.
• The opener should be installed above the center of the
door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate
in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door
center.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page 32.
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage doors
(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with
glass panels, etc.) See page 13 for details.

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
NOTE: DO NOT operate the opener at this time.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber 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.
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" (15 cm) 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 mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
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.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
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 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.

ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
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?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse
unintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails
(see Adjustment Step 3).
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.
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.
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.
• 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 1-1/2"
(3.8 cm) high object (or 2 x 4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequate clearance.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
• If the door does not open completely but opens at
least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover
protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4"
(5-10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.
• If door does not open at least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment
Step 2.
• If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of
travel.
Turn either limit adjustment screw the direction
of the arrow to increase trolley travel, turn in
the opposite direction to decrease travel
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
• If the door reverses when closing and there is no
visible interference to travel cycle:
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or
obstructed.

WARNINGWARNING
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.
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.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES
1. 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 1-1/2
Adjustment Step 3, page 22. 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.
• 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 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
• 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 small adjustments until the door stops easily and
opens fully. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
• If the door doesn’t open at least 5 feet (1.5 m),
increase UP (open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until door opens
completely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After
each adjustment, run the opener through a complete
travel cycle.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage 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.
