To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will onlyiW into a grounding type outlet.

If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have,

contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

To avoid installation difficulties,

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-wire 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 eiectmcution, remove power from

the garage door opener and irom the circuit

you plan to use for the permanent connection.

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.

• Reinstaii the cover.

To avoid installation difficulties,

do not run the opener at this time.

The Safety Reversing System

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

The safety reversing sensor must\i& 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 proparly working safety reversing sensor, persons (particuiariy chiidren) could be injur^ or killed by a dosing 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.

Figure 1: Facing the door from inside the garage

Page 22

Figure 2 door track mount (Right side)

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.

Install and align the brackets so the sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam from 4 - 6“ above the floor.

They may be installed in one of three ways, as follows.

Garage door track installation (preferred):

• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of

each door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into place against the side of the track.

It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track, as shown in Figure 2.

If your door track will not support the bracket

securely, wall installation is recommended.

Wall installation:

Figure 3 wall mount (Right side)

• Place the bracket against the wall with curved

arms facing the door. Be 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.

Figure 4 floor mount (Right side)

Page 23

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS

• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by

a bracket extension. See Figure 5.

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use

insulated staples to secure wire to wail and ceiling.

• Strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.

Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3.

ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS

• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the

sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily W wiring connections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye orange indicator tight will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming

directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor

until it receives the sender's beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Figure 5

Trouble Shooting the Safety Sensors

1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow

steadily e^ex installation, check for:

• Electric power to the opener.

• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can

occur at staples, or at screw terminal connections.

• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

• A broken wire.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadiiyduX the

receiving eye indicator light doesn't:

• Check alignment.

• Check for a broken wire to the receiving eye.

3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either

sensor.

NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or misaligned while the door is dosing, the door wilt reverse, if the door is already open, it will not dose. The opener lights will flash 10 times, (if bulbs are not installed, 10 dicks can be heard.) See page 21.

Installation Step 11

Fasten Door Bracket

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, fibergiass or giass panei doors, always

reinforce the inside of the door both verticaily

and horizontaily with an angle Iron.

• Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical guideline used for the header bracket installation. Note the correct UP placement, as

stamped inside the bracket.

• 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 reinforce ment but does need top and bottom fastening holes

for the door bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

Page 25

Please read and comply with the warnings and reinforcement instructions on page 24. They apply to one-piece doors aiso.

Header Wall

• Center the bracket on the top of the door, in line

with the header bracket as shown. Mark holes.

• Drill 5/16" pilot holes and fasten the door bracket

with hardware provided.

If the door has no exposed framing, drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket with 5/16"x1-1/2" lag screws (not provided) to the top of the door.

The door bracket may be installed on the top edge of the door if required for your installation. (Refer to the dotted line optional placement drawing.) Drill 3/16" pilot holes and substitute 5/16"x1-1/2" lag screws (not provided) to fasten the bracket to the door.

Adjustment Procedures for One-Piece Doors

Open Door Adjustment:

Decrease UP limit

• Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter clockwise 5-1/2 turns.

• Press the Door Control push bar or button. The

trolley will travel to the fully open position.

• Manually raise the door to the open position

(parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully open trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm does not extend far enough, adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" of trolley travel.

Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 5 complete turns.

' Press the Door Control push bar or button. The

trolley will travel to the fully closed position.

' 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.

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

Page 28

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 are 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), it will reverse.

To operate the opener, press the Door Control push

bar or 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

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 km someone under It. Test the safety

reverse system following all adjustments to the

travel limits. See page 30.

adjustment procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and

try again.

How and When to Adjust the Limits

• If the door does not open completely, but

opens at least i\ye feet:

Increase i//? travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment

screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover

protection bolt, 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 dose completely:

Increase ctotw? 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 itowr? travel. Turn the DOWN limit

adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

• If the door /eve/seswhen 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.

Page 29

Adjustment Step 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the back

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 if anything 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 \n the ¿/p direction.

Weather conditions can affect the door

movement, so occasionai adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force 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 property

when required and could seriously injure or kill

someone under it. Do not increase the force

beyond the minimum amount required to ciose

the door. Do not use the force adjustments to

compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse system foilowing ali adjustments to force ieveis. See page 30.

How and When to Adjust the Forces

Test the DOWN (ciose) 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. Seepage 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 leasts 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 /jeve/sesduring the down (close) cycie

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.

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 Sears Service Center for garage door opener service.

Faiiure to test and adjust the safety reverse

system may resuft in serious injury or death to

persons trapped by a dosing garage door.

Repeat this test once a month and adjust as needed.

Probable Cause and Solution

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 ihstruction 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 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 doses 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.

2. If the problem occurs on the first operatbn of the opener, door may be locked. Disable

the door lock. If the chain was removed and reinstalled, the motor may be out of phase.
