PROBABLE CAUSE & SOLUTION
1. Have you disengaged ali door locks? Review Step 8, Page 14
2. Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet If it
doesn't light, check fuse box or circuit breaker (Some outlets are con
trolled by a wall switch).
3. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor.
Wait 15 minutes. Try again.
4. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? Door may be frozen to
ground. Remove any obstruction
5. Remove belt wire from opener terminals. Touch red and white screw ter
minals together with a jumper wire, if opener runs, check for a faulty wire
connection at wall push button or a short under staples.
1. Is wall push button lit? If not, refer to No. 5 above and follow same
procedure.
2, Are wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, Pg.13.
1 Does the battery test light glow when transmitter push button is pressed?
If not, replace the battery (Page 5 tells you how.)
2. If you have two transmitters and only one operates, review code setting
procedures on Page 19. Receiver and ALL transmitters must be set to
same code,
3. Is transmitters) operating additional remote control devices? See code
setting procedures on Page 19
4. Did you press transmitter button designated to operate garage door
opener?
5. Re-program receiver(s) and ALL transmitters. Try setting ALL the code
switches in plus, center or minus positions, If transmitters) works, you
can try a random code switch setting again, if you desire.

1. Check battery test light, if the light is out, change the battery(Page 5 tells
you how).
2. Change the location of transmitter in the car.
3 A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce
transmission range.
4, Check to be sure the antenna on the back panel of the opener extends
fully downward.
1, is there a neighbor with a garage door opener using the same frequency
code? Change your code. Review Page 19.,
2, Check to make sure that the transmitter push button(s) is not stuck in the
‘down’ position.
3, Remove beli wire from opener terminals and operate from transmitter
only. If this solves the problem, the wall push button is faulty (replace), or
there is a short or broken wire between push button and opener.
1, Is something obstructing the door?
2, If door opens at least 5 feet, travel limits may need to be increased. One
turn equals 2 inches of travel. See Pg. 17. Repeat Safety Reverse Test
after adjustment Is complete.
3, If door has been working properly but now doesn’t open all the way,
increase UP FORCE. See Pg 17. Repeat Safety Reverse Test after adjust
