CARE OF THE OPENER
When properly installed, 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. LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These acrjuslments
must be chected and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required. Page 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully,
REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADUST­MEMT 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
GARAGE 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 emergengy handle.
If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 5 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustments,
TRANSMITTER: The 3-funclion transmitter will operate more than one garage door opener,if desired. The push buttons may also be used to operate other 53000 and/or53000SR Series devices. The standard 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 and receiver. Page 19 expialns how to change your existing code and use the transmitter(s) with other 53000 and/or 53000SR Series receivers. Self service of your radio controls is not recommended. If service is
needed, contact your nearest Sears Service Center. TRANSMfTTER BATTERY; The 12 Volt battery should
produce power for at least one year. As long as the battery
power is adequate, the transmitter test light will glow when
the push button is pressed (and the opener or other control
will operate). If tight doesn't come on, replace the battery. It
transmission range lessens, check battery test light.
