will reverse in the closing cycle when the invisible beam
is broken. An open door will not close when beam is broken.
The sensor has no effect in the opening cycle.

when the opener is initially plugged in; when the power is
interrupted; when the opener is activated. They will turn off
automatically after 4’/i minutes or provide constant light when
Light Feature is activated. Bulb size 75 watts maximum.
CARE OF THE OPENER
When properly instiled, opener will provide high performance
with a minimum of maintenance. The opener does not require
additional lubrication.
Most complaints of unsatisfactory opener operation can be
traced to problems with the door itself. When operated
manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point of
travel while being supported entirely by its springs.
THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED OR
BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY FAULTY
DOOR HARDWARE.

MENT OF FORCE AND/OR LIMITS. Weather conditions
may cause some minor changes in door operation requir
ing some readjustments, particularly during the first year
of operation.
THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (See
pg. 18). GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT
WITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING
GAR.<\GE DOOR.
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT; After installation of the
opener and adjustment of forces and limits, the chain may
appear loose. This is normal. To check the chain tension:
disconnect the trolley by pulling the red emergency handle.
If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated
in Step 5 page 9, DO NCT make ANY further adjustments.
TRANSMITTER; The 3-function transmitter will operate more
than one garage door opener, if desired. The other push but
tons may also be used to operate 53000 and 53000SR Series
light controls. Transmitter may be secured to car sun visor
with clip provided. Additional transmitters can be purchased
at any time. Refer to Accessories on page 4.
Any new transmitters must be set to the same code as the
original transmitter. Page 19 explains how to change your
existing code and use the transmitter(s) with other 53000 and
53000 SR receivers. Self service of your radio controls is rwt
recommended. If service is needed, contact your nearest
Sears Service Center.
