Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
opener at this time.

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

grounding pin. This plug will only fit 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.

If permanent wiring Is required by your local
code, refer to the following procedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8"
hole in the top of the motor unit:

• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the

cover aside.

• Remove the attached3-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 groundwiretothe
green ground screw The opener must be
grounded.

Install 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT

THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properlyconnected and aligned, the sensor

will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic
beam. The sendingeye (withan orange indicator

light)transmitsan invisiblelightbeam to the
receivingeye (with a green indicatorlight).If an
obstructionbreaksthe lightbeam while the door is
closing,the door will stop and reverse to fullopen

position,and the opener lightswill flash 10 times.

The units must be installedinsidethe garage so that
the sendingand receiving eyes face each other

acrossthe door,no higher than 6" above the floor.
Eithercan be installedon the left or dghtofthe door
as long as the sun never shines directlyintothe

receivingeye lens.

Wall installation:

• Place the bracket againstthe wall withcurved arms

facingthe door. Be sure there isenough clearance
for the sensorbeam to be unobstructed.

• If additionaldepth isneeded, an extension bracket

(see Accessodes)or woodblocks can be used.

• Use bracket mountingholes as a template to locate

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustmentcontrolsare located on the right
side panel of the motorunit. Force adjustment
settingsregulatethe amountof power requiredto

open and closethe door.
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be

interruptedby nuisance reversalsinthe down
directionand stops in the up direction,Weather

conditionscan affectthe doormovement, so
occasionaladjustmentmay be needed,

The maximum force adjustment range is about
3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls

beyond that point. Turn force adjustmentcontrols
with a screwdriver.

NOTE: ff anything interfereswith thedoor's upward
travel, ffwillstop. Ifanything interferes withthe

door's downwardtravel (includingbindingor
unbalanced doors),it willreverse.

HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES

1. Test the DOWN (close) force

• Grasp the door bottomwhen the door isabout

halfway throughDOWN (close)travel.The door
shouldreverse. Reversal halfway through down

travel does not guarantee reversalona one-inch
obstruction.See AdjustmentStep 3, page 30.

If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,
DECREASE the DOWN (close)force by turning

the controlcounterclockwise.Make small

adjustmentsuntilthe door reverses normally.
After each adjustment, runthe opener through
a complete cycle.

• If the door reverses during the down (close)

cycle end the opener lights aren't flashing,

INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turningthe

controlclock'wise.Make smalladjustmentsuntil
the door completesa closecycle. After each
adjustment,run the opener through a complete
travel cycle. Do notincrease the force beyond

the minimumamount required to close the door.

2. Test the UP (open) force

• Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

halfwaythrough UP (open) travel. The door
shouldstop. If the door is hard to hold or
doesn't stop, DECREASE UP (open) force by
turningthe control counterclockwise. Make small
adjustmentsuntilthe door stops easily and
opens fully. After each adjustment,run the
opener through a completetravelcycle.

• If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet,
INCREASE UP (open) force by tuming the
