Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey
your garage area to see if any of the conditions below
apply to your installation. Additional materials may be
required. You may fi nd 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 Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a fi nished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 10 – Alternate fl oor mounting of
the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 7702CB Emergency Key Release is
required. See Accessories page.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the fl oor. Any
gap between the fl oor 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.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fi berglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce ment
is required (Installation Step 11).
• 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. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the garage
door opener until instructed to do so.
To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and
fi ngers away from the joints while assembling the rail.
The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end
(see illustration). The hole above this window is larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole
3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the
back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite
edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the far end.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket
packaged inside the front rail and set aside for
Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To prevent INJURY
while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight
door arm stored within the rail section.
2. Align the rail sections on a fl at surface as shown and
slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along
the side will lock into place.

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to
structural support on header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when
required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header
bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,
ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when
required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline
of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
(1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if
a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way;
or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13) when
clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the
wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately
1/2" (1 cm).)
If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as
shown here and on page 13.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Draw an inter secting horizontal line on the header wall
above the high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door
and one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top
edge of the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the door
hits the rail, raise the header bracket.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this time.
HARDWARE SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling
garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural
supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be
used if installing ANY brackets into masonry.
Locate door control within sight of the door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot
reach, and away from moving parts of the door and door
hardware. The installation surface must be smooth and
fl at. If installing into drywall, 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 1).
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).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back
of door control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red
wire to the 1 (Figure 2).
2. Remove the cover by gently prying at slot in top of
cover with a small fl at head screwdriver (Figure 3).
Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall
installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (into gang
box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm)
to protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fi t.
• Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. DO NOT overtighten.
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not
mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard when
pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting screws or
relocate the door control to a smoother surface.
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to
secure wire in several places. DO NOT pierce wire with
a staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 4).
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near door control, and manual
release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location
on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the power and operate the opener
at this time. The trolley will travel to the full open position
but will not return to the close position until the sensor
beam is connected and properly aligned. See Safety
Reversing Sensor Instructions beginning on page 19.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• 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
closing garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out
of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m), and away from ALL moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is
properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to
door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely
closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of
closing garage door.

Install the Lights
• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.
Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. The
lights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately
4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the
lights will turn OFF.
• Insert bottom lens tabs into slots on chassis. Tilt
towards chassis to engage top tabs, then drop down
gently into place (see illustration).
• To remove, depress both top lens tabs. Tilt lens
slightly outward and down, then pull out to clear bulbs.
Use care to avoid snapping off bottom lens tabs.
• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short
neck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel
or light socket.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or
light socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY incandescent.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 100W.

Attach the Emergency Release Rope and
Handle
• 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" (2.5 cm) 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 (1.83 m)
above the fl oor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear
the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. 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.
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.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If
rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the opener
at this time.
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 fi t into a grounding type outlet.
If the plug doesn’t fi t into the outlet you have, contact a
qualifi ed electrician to install the proper outlet.
RIGHT WRONG
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer
to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in
the top of the motor unit:
• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover
aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on
the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green
ground screw.
The opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover .
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the opener
at this time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fi re:
• 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 fi t outlet. Be
sure the opener is grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
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 fl ash
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 fl oor. 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.
®
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door
opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
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 fl oor.
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.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
Install and align the brackets so the sensors will face each
other across the garage door, with the beam no higher
than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor. They may be installed in
one of three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each
door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap
into place against the side of the track. It should lie
fl ush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track,
as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figures 2 & 3):
• Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms
facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for
the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket
(see accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate
and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at
each side of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above
the fl oor.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust
right and left assemblies to the same distance out from
the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see
accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses
will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door
hardware obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the fl oor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
Mounting:
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot
on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors
to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other
across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a
bracket extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Option A - Installation Without Pre-Wiring:
• Run the bell wire from both sensors to the garage door
opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the
staples (Figure 6).
Option B - Pre-Wired Installation:
If your garage already has wires installed for the safety
reversing sensors, follow the instructions below:
• Cut the end of the safety reversing sensor wire, making
sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed
wires from the wall (Figure 7).
• Separate the safety reversing sensor wires and strip
7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two
of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of
insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose
the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor
(Figure 8).
• Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with
wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each
sensor (Figure 9).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in
the receiving eye is off, dim, or fl ickering (and the invisible
light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.
• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
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.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
• Check alignment.
• 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. See page 19.

Page 23
INSTALLATION STEP 11
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on the following page.
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long
enough to be secured to two or three vertical supports.
A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height
of the top panel.
Figure 1 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.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case
you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
1. Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped
inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm)
below the top edge of the door, OR directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on
your door’s construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron
brace between the door panel support and the door
bracket:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws
(Figure 2A).
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and nuts
(not provided) (Figure 2B).
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced
doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the self-threading screws (Figure 3).
Wood Doors:
• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes.
Drill 5/16" holes through the door and secure bracket
with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts
(not provided) (Figure 4).
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not
intended for use on wood doors.

• 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 fl oor.
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.

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 (Adjustment
Step 3, page 29).
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.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
• If the door does not open completely but opens at least
fi ve feet (1.5 m):
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn equals 3" (7.5 cm) of travel.
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover
protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4"
(5 cm - 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 3" (7.5 cm) of
travel.
If door still won't close completely and the trolley bumps
into the pulley bracket (page 4), try lengthening the door
arm (page 25) and decreasing the down limit.
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 3" (7.5 cm) of travel.
• If the door reverses when closing and there is no visible
interference to travel cycle:
If the opener lights are fl ashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or
obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 22.
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.
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" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid
fl at) on fl oor.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequate clearance.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2
Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the right 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" (3.8 cm)
obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3, page 29. 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 fl ashing, 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.
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.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on
contact with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid
fl at) on fl oor.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3
Test the Safety Reversal System
TEST
• With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board
(or a 2x4 laid fl at) on the fl oor, centered under the
garage door.
• 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 25.
• Repeat the test.
• When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board,
remove the obstruction and run the opener through
3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.
• If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call
for a trained door systems technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Test the Safety Reverse System after:
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force
controls.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door
(including springs and hardware).
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage fl oor.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing 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 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid
fl at) on the fl oor.

(or a 2x4 laid fl at)
ADJUSTMENT STEP 4
Test The Protector System
• Press the remote control push button to open the door.
• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
• Press the remote control push button to close the
door. The door will not move more than an inch
(2.5 cm), and the opener lights will fl ash.
The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the
indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the
fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing
sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more
than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor), call for a trained door
systems technician.
