T o avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

Assembly Step 1

Assemble the T-rail & Attach the Cable Pulley Bracket

• Align the 3 T-rail sections on a flat surface exactly as shown. The end sections are identical. Make sure the "arrow label" on the center section is pointing toward the door.

• Insert the carriage bolts so the square bolt necks seat in the square holes in the T-rail end sections and pass through the round holes in T-rail center section. Assemble lock nuts, ensure alignment and tighten.

If T-rail is not assembled EXACTLY as shown, trolley will not travel smoothly along length of rail or it will hit against the nuts.

Make sure bolt necks are seated in the square holes and rails are aligned before you tighten lock nuts. (See right and wrong views). Improper assembly can cause jerky trolley operation, noise and/or nuisance door reversals.

Right Wrong

• Position the cable pulley bracket on the front end of the T-rail as shown. Fasten securely with the hardware.

If trolley hits against the nut on the T-rail, the bolts and nuts were attached from the wrong side and must be repositioned. Review Step 1.

Assembly Step 3

Fasten the T-rail to the Opener

• Place the opener on packing material to protect

the cover. For convenience, put a support under the cable pulley bracket.

• Remove the (2) 5/16"-18x1/2" washered screws mounted in the top of the opener.

• Align the holes in the back section of the T-rail with the holes in the opener.

• Fasten the rail with the (2) washered screws previously removed. Tighten securely.

Remember to use only these screws!

screws will cause serious damage to the opener.

• Insert a 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screw into the trolley stop hole in the T-rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 5/16" lock washer and nut. This screw limits trolley travel in the UP direction.

Sensor

Unit

Invisible Light Beam

Protection Area

Figure 1: Facing the door from inside the garage

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.

The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye. The units can be installed on either side of the garage door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.

Look at the label on the connector end of each case to identify the sensors.

The brackets must be connected and fastened so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other as shown in Figure 1.

If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the garage door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position and the opener lights will flash for 5 seconds.

Sensor

Unit

The brackets

must

be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the studs on either side of the door, or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in masonry construction.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

Installation Step 10

Install the Safety Reversing Sensor

Figures 2 and 3 show assembly of brackets and "C" wrap based on the recommended installation of the sensors as shown on page 21.

However, Figures 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure

the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.

• Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets

having square holes, using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using the hardware shown in Figure 3.

Note the alignment of the brackets for left and right sides of the door.

• Finger tighten the lock nuts.

• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on both sides of the garage door, 4"-6" above the floor

but not exceeding 6".

(See warning on

page 21.)

• Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2" lag screws as shown in Figure 3.

• Adjust right and left side bracket assemblies to the same distance out from the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared. Tighten the nuts securely.

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated below or on page 25.

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.

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.

SECTIONAL Door Installation Procedure

Figure 1

• Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical guideline used for the header bracket installation.

• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the following limits:

A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" below the top

edge of the door.

B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any

structural support across the top of the door.

• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes. Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is vertical reinforcement.

If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforcement but does need top and bottom fastening holes for the door bracket, position the door plate over the door bracket as shown in Figure 2. Fasten securely with hardware shown in Figure 1.

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 two-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

at least

5 feet

Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limit if necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

Having a Problem?

Situation Probable Cause and Solution

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

Opener operates from the remote control, but not from the Wall Control:

The door operates from the Wall Control, but not from 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.

1. Is the Wall Control 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 Wall Control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 18.

1. If your model has the Lock feature, make sure the lock is Off.

2. Is any wall 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.

The remote control has short range:

Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

The garage door opens and closes by itself:

The door doesn't open completely:

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

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.

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

2. Remove the bell wire from the Wall Control terminals and operate from the remote control only. If this solves the problem, the Wall Control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittent short on the wire between the Wall Control and the opener.

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

up force.

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.

See page 29.

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.
