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

Assembly Step I I

Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley

The front rail has a cut out "window"at the door end
(see illustration). The hole above this window Is

larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A
smaller hole 3- I/2" away is close to the rail edge.

The back rail has a similar hole close to the edge,

about 4.3/4" from the far end. A 3-piece rail uses

two back rails.

Preferred assembly is to position the rails right
side up, with the small holes along the same

edge.

1. Remove the straight door arm and clevis pin
packaged inside the front rail and set aside for

Installation Step 12.

2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface exactly as
shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger

ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.

3. Place the powerhead on packing material to
protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail

on top. For convenience, put a support under the
front end of the rail.

4. As a temporary trolley stop, clamp a locking pliers
onto the rail, 8" from the center of the idler pulley

hole, as shown.

5. Check to be sure there are 4 black plastic wear

pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose
during shipping, check all packing material. Snap
them back into position as shown.

6. Connect the inner and outer trolleys as shown.

7. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the
back end to the locked pliers.

Install the Premium Control Console

Installation Step 6 I

Locate the door control within sight of the door at a
minimum height of 5 feet where small children

cannot reach, and away from all moving parts of the
door and door hardware.

The door control is typically attached directly to the
wall. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and

use the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations
(as in new home construction), Console models

may be mounted to a standard single gang box
(Figure 2).

1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell
wire and connect it to the two screw terminals on

the back of the door control: white to 2, and
white/red to 1.

2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver
blade (see Figure 1). Fasten with 6ABxl-1/4" self-

tapping screws (standard installation) or 6-32xl"
machine screws (pre-wired installation) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to protrude

above wall surface.

• Position bottom of door control on screw head and

slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.

• Ddll and install top screw with care to avoid

cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.

• insert top tabs and snap on cover.

3. (For standard installation) Run the bell wire up the
wall and across the ceiling to the opener. Use

insulated staples to secure the wire in several
places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a

staple, creating a short.

4. Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on
the opener panel: white to 2; white/red to 1.

5. Position the antenna wire as shown.

Do not connect to live electrical wiring. Connect
only to 24 Volt low voltage wires, Connection to

live wires or higher voltage may cause serious
injury from shock, burn or electrocution.

Children operating or playing with a garage
door opener can injure themselves or others.

The garage door could close and cause

serious injury or death.

Install the door control (or any additional push
buttons) out of the reach of children and away
from all moving parts of the door and door
hardware, but where the garage door is visible.
Do not allow children to operate the push
button(s) or the remote control(s).

A moving garage door could injure someone

under iL Activate the opener only when the

door is properly adjusted, you can see it
clearly, and there are no obstructions to door

travel.

Installation Step 7

Install the Lights and the Lenses

Install the lights:

• Install a 75 watt maximum light bulb in each
socket. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is
connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.

• Use standard neck Garage Door Opener bulbs for
replacement.

Install the lenses:

• Apply slight pressure on the sides of each lens
and slide the tabs into the slots in the side panels.

• For convenience, the lenses may be installed
after Adjustment Step 4 on page 30.

• Reverse the procedure to remove the lenses.

I

Do NOT connect the power and operate the
opener at this time. The trolley will travel to the

full open position but will not return to the

close position until the sensor beam is

connected and properly aligned.

Installation Step 8

Attach the Emergency
Release Rope and Handle

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in
the top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right

side up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot,
at least 1" from the end of the rope to prevent

slipping.

• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole
in the release arm of the outer trolley.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above
the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the

cut end with a match or lighter to prevent
unraveling.

Do not use the red handle to pull the door
open or closed. The rope knot could become

untied and you could fall. Use the emergency
release only to disengage the trolley and, if
possible, only when the door is closed.

Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open
when the handle is pulled, the door could

close inadvertently if it is not properly
balanced. Serious injury may result to persons

under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear
of persons and obstructions before pulling
handle when door is open.

Installation Step 9

Electrical Requirements

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage
door opener has a grounding type plug with a third

grounding pin. This plug will onlyfit into a grounding
type outlet.

Ifthe plug doesn't fit intothe outlet you have,

contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.

I

To prevent electrocution or fire, Installation
and wiring must be in compliance with local
electrical and building codes.

Do NOTuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,
or change the plug in any way to make it fit

your outlet.

To avoid installation difficulties, I

do not run the opener at this time.

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:

To make a permanent connection through the
7/8" 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 (line) 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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE

;AFETY 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.

When properly connected and aligned, the safety

reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path
of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an

orange indicator light) transmits an invisible light
beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator

light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while
the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to

full open position, and the opener light will flash

10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other

across the door, between 4 - 6" above the floor.
Either can be installed on the left or right of the door

as long as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eye lens.

The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware.

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
between 4 - 6" above the garage floor.

Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.

If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the

brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface
such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see
accessories) are available if needed. If installing in
masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each

location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if
repositioning is necessary.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,

hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the
beam while the door is closing.

They may be installed in one of three ways,

depending on your requirements, as follows.

1. (Preferred) Clipped onto the left and right garage
door tracks. See Figure 2.

2. Fastened to the wall on each side of the garage.
See Figure 3.

3. Fastened to the floor (see Figure 4). Concrete
anchors and wood blocks or extension brackets

will be needed.

Garage door track Installation:

• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of the

door track. Snap into place against the side of the
track. It should lie flush, with the liphugging the
back edge of the track, as shown.

If your door track will not support the bracket
securely, wall installation is recommended.

Wall installation:

• Place the bracket against the wall and make sure

there is enough clearance for the sensor beam to
be unobstructed.

• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket

(see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.

• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to

locate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on
the wall at each side of the door, from 4-6" above

the floor. (See warning at beginning of Installation
Step 10.)

• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not
provided).

• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust
right and left assemblies to the same distance out

from the mounting surface. Make sure all door

hardware obstructions are cleared.

Floor installation:

• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see

Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the
lenses will be 4-6" above the floor.

• Carefully measure and place right and left

assemblies at the same distance out from the wall.
Be sure all door hardware obstructions are

cleared.

• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as

shown.

Manually close the door and lift the door arm to the

trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just ahead
of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully
closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If

the arm is behind the connector hole, adjust the limit
further. One full turn equals 2!' of trolley travel.

adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" of
trolley travel.

Connect the door arm to the trolley.

• Close the door and join the curved arm to the connector hole in the trolley with the remaining clevis pin. It may
be necessary to lift the door slightly to make the connection.

• Secure with a ring fastener.

• Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. If the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open position

as shown in the illustration, decrease the UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.

Closed Door Adjustment:

Decrease DOWN limit

27

Adjustment Section: Pages 28 - 30

Adjustment Step 1

Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits

Do not make any limit adjustments until the
safety reversing sensors ere completely

installed.

Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at
which the door will stop when moving up or down.

If anything interferes with the door's upward travel, it
will stop. If anything interferes with the door's
downward travel (including binding or unbalanced

doors), itwill reverse.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control 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 outlined below.

Read the procedures carefully before

proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a
screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Run the
opener through a complete travel cycle after

each adjustment.

NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during
adjustment procedures may cause the motor to

overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and
try again.

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 after making all
travel and force adjustments. See page 30.

How and When to Adjust the Limits

• 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: Toprevent the trolley from hitting the cover

protection bolt, keep a minimum distance 0f2-4"
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 trolley stop bolt (see page 4 or 5), try
lengthening the door arm (see page 26) and
decreasing the down limit.

• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit
adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of

travel.

• 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 emergency 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 (close)
force. See Adjustment Step 2.

28

Adjustment Step 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the right

side panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings

regulate the amount of power required to open and
close the door.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything

interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the

down direction ifanything interferes with its travel

including binding or unbalanced doors).

If the forces are set too light, door travel may be
interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down

direction and stops in the up direction.

Weather conditions can affect the door
movement, so occasional adjustment may be

needed.

The maximum fome adjustment range is 260 degrees,

about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do 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.

Force Adjustment

Controls

Adjustment Label

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 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 Side Panel

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 least5 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 cycle. 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.

29

Adjustment Step 3

Test The Safety Reversing Sensor

• Press the remote control push button to open the

door.

• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

• Press the remote control push button to close the

door. The door will not move more than an inch,
and the opener light(s) will flash.

Professional service Is required If the opener
closes the door when the safety reversing
sensor Is obstructed.

The garage door opener will not close from a
remote control if the indicator light in either

sensor is off(alerting you to the fact that the
sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

The garage door can be closed by pressing and
holding the Door Control push button untildown

travel is completed.

Adjustment Step 4

Test the Safety Reverse System

Test:

• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the

floor, centered under the garage door.

• Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on striking the obstruction.

I

I

Failure to test and adjust the safety reverse
system may result in serious injury or death to

persons trapped by a closing garage door.

Repeat this test once a month and adjust as
needed.

GARAGE DOOR

Adjustment:

If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling

far enough in the down direction.

• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN
limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

• Repeat the test.

On a sectional door, make sure limit
adjustments do not cause the trolley to move

within 2-1/2" of the trolley stop bolt. If
necessary, lengthen straight door arm to

maintain this minimum distance.

• When the door reverses on the one-inch board,
remove the obstruction and run the opener through

3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

If the door will not reverse after repeated

adjustment attempts, call for professional
garage door service.

f

Important safety check

Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 4 after:

• Each adjustment of door arm length, force controls

or limitcontrols.

• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door
(including springs and hardware).

• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.

• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

Having a Problem?

Situation

The opener doesn't

operate from either

the Door Control or
the remote control."

Opener operates

from the remote
control, but not from

the Door Control:

The door operates
from the Door

Control, but not from
the remote control'.

Probable Cause and Solution

1. Does the opener have electric power?.Plug a lamp intothe outlet. If it doesn't light,
check the fuse box or the circuitbreaker, (Some outlets are controlledby a door switch.)

2. Have you disabled all door looks? Review installationinstructionwarnings 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 Door 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 Door
Control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

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

1.

Is any door push button flashing? If your model has the Lock feature, make sure the

lock is Off.

2.

Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code, Refer to Instructions on the
opener panel.

3.

Program the receiver to match the remote control code.

4.

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. Change the location of the remote control in your car.

2. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully

downward.

3.

Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed
insulation, or metal garage siding. (Antenna Extender Kit 41A3504)

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 are off.

2. Remove the bell wire from the Door Control terminals and operate from the remote
control only. If this solves the problem, the Door Control is faulty (replace), or there is

an intermittent short on the wire between the Door Control and the opener.

3. Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.

1. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstructionor repair the door.

2. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the
up force. See page 29.

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.

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.

34

Having a Problem? (continued)

Situation

The door opens but
won't close:

The door reverses for
no apparent reason

and opener lights
don't blink:

The door reverses for

no apparent reason
and opener lights

blink for 5 seconds
after reversing:

Probable Cause & Solution

1. If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor. See page 23.

2. If the opener lights do not blink and it is a new installation, check the down force.

See Adjustment Step 2, page 29. For an existing installation, see below.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

1. Is something obstructing the door?. Pull the red emergency release handle. Operate
the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door

service.

2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.

3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 29.

4. If door reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the travel limits (page 28).

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need
for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is normal Weather

conditions in particular can affect door travel

Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye.
See page 23.

The opener lights:

The opener strains or

does not, disconnectthe opener and call a professionalgarage door serviceman. Do not

increase the force to operate the opener.

1. The garage door springs are broken. See above.

2. If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener, door may be locked. Disable
the doorlock. If the chain was removed and reinstalled, the motor may be out of phase.

Remove the chain; cycle the motor to the down position. Observe the drive sprocket.

When it turns in a clockwise direction and stops in the down position, reinstall the chain.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

1. Use the emergency releaseto disconnect thetrolley.The door can be opened and closed
manually.When the powerisrestored,pressthe Door Controlpushbutton and trolleywill
automaticallyreconnect(unlesstrolleyis in lockoutposition.)See page 32.

2. The Emergency Key Release accessory (for use on garages with no service door)
disconnects the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.

The cham droops

or sags:

it is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the closed door position. Use the
emergency release to disconnect the trolley. If the chain returns to normal height when
the trolley is disengaged and the door reverses on a one-inch board, no adjustments
are needed (see page 11).
