Instaiiation Step 9
Electrical Requirements
Tq reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage
door opener has a grounding type plug with a third
grounding pin. This plug will on/y fit into a grounding
type outlet,
if the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,
contact a qualified electrician to instaii the proper
outlet.
To avoid instaiiation difftcuities,
do not run the opener at this time.
To prevent electrocution or fire, Installation
and wiring must be in compliance with local
electrical and building codes.
Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-w!re adapter
or change the plug in any way to make It fit
your outlet.
Right
Wrong
if permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:
To prevent electrocution, remove power from
the garage door opener and from the circuit
you plan to use for the permanent connection.
Permanent
To make a permanent connection through the
T/8" diameter hole in the top of the opener
(according to local code):
Remove the opener cover screws and set the
cover aside.
Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
Connect the black (fine) 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.

The Safety Reversing system
Information you'll need before you begin the Installation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a
required safety device and cannot be disabled.
Imiallathn procedures are the same for sectiana!
and one-piece doors.
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be injured or killed by a closing garage door.
Read and follow all Instructions.
To protect small children, Install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4“*6'‘ above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before Installing the safety reversing sensor.
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye* The units can be instaJled 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 receMng eyes face each other
as shown in Rgure 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.
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 locaton to
the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

the sensors as shown on page 21.
However, Figures 4 and S are variations which may
fit your insiallaiion 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

Adjustment Step 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments until the
safety reversing sensors are completely
installed.
Umit adj'ustment settings reguiate the points at
whidi the door will stop when moving up or down.
The door wiii stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with door travel The door will reverse in
the down direction if anything interferes with the
dooriravei (including binding or unbalanced doors).
To operate the opener, press the Door Ckinirol push
button. 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 (See page 30).
Adjustment procedures are outifned below. Riin
the opener through a complete travel cycle after
each adjustment.
Repeated operation of the opener during
adjustment procedures may cause the motor to
overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes
and try again.
Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to
Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit
adjustments.
Improper adjustment of the travel limits will
interfere with the proper operation of the
safety reverse system. The door might not
reverse properly when required and could
seriously injure or kill someone under it Test
the safety reverse system following all
adjustments to the travel limits. See page 30.
• If the door does not open completely, but
opens at least five feet:
Increase up travel Turn the UP limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2* of travel.
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the
cover protection bait, keep a minimum distance
of 2-4*' between the trolley and the bolt
• If door does not open at least 5 feet:
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 2“ of travel.
If the door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the pulley bracket (see page 4 or 5), try
lengthening the door arm, (see page 26).
If you have adjusted the door arm to the maximum
length and the door stiil will not dose completely,
lower the header bracket. See Installation Step 1,
pages 12 and 13.
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit
adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of
travel.
V If the door reverses when closing and there is
no visible interference to travel cycle:
if the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or
obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 23, ,
Test the door for binding; Pull the manual release
handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door
is binding, call for garage door service. If the door is
not binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (dose)
force. See Adjustment Step 2.

Page 29
Adjustment Step 2
Adjust the Force
Force adjtjsirnent contrais are located on the right
Side рале1 of the opener. Force adjustment settings
regulate the amount of power required to open and
dose the door.
The door wifi stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with its travel. The door wii! reverse in the
down direction if anything interferes with its travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be
intemipted by nuisance reversals in the down
direction and stops in the ф direction. Weather
conditions can affect the door movement, so
occasional adjustment may be needed.
The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees,
about 3/4 of a complete turn, Oo not force controls
beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls
with a screwdriver.
Too much force on the door will Interfere with
the proper operation of the safety reverse
system. The door might not reverse properly
when required and could seriously Injure or
kill someone under it Do not increase the
force beyond the minimum amount required
to close the door. Do not use the force
adjustments to compensate for a binding or
sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse
system following all adjustments to force
levels. See page 30.

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) travei. The door
should reverse. Reversal halfway through down
travel does not guarantee reversal on a one-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.
Right Sida Panel
Make 10 degree turn adjustments unffl the doorstops
easily. After each adjustment, run the opener through
a complete travel cycle.
if the door doesn’t open af 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.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle
and the opener lights aren’t flashing
increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the
door completes a close cycie. 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.
