MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Replaced batteries must be treated as a hazardous waste and
disposed of in accordance with State, Local and Federal
Regulations. See the battery manufacturer’s Material Safety Data
Sheets (01-30839 “MSDS Sheets, Battery, Standard”).
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Service Kits are available for battery replacement. Please contact
Technical Support (see back of this document for contact
information).
BATTERY MAINTENANCE / TESTING
The batteries are maintenance free. However, to insure proper and
safe operation, it is recommended that the batteries be replaced
every two years. Battery testing is conducted automatically. See
the Battery Test Description section for manually initiating the
battery test.
BATTERY HANDLING / STORAGE
Refer to the battery manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheets
(01-30839 “MSDS Sheets, Battery, Standard”). LiftMaster does
not recommend storage of batteries in the field. Batteries are
intended for immediate use.
MOTOR OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
Operators require practically no special maintenance other than
periodic checking to see that mechanical parts where necessary
are lubricated and the electrical compartments are clear of dirt.
Service technicians should familiarize themselves with the proper
sequence of operation and all related controls. Power to operator
must be disconnected when removing or replacing covers on
electrical components, making adjustments, or performing
maintenance.
1. Check wire connections for tightness and wire insulation for
defects of abrasions.
2. Check to see that all conduit connections are secure.
3. Check wires to safety edge, or infrared safety eyes, if unit is
equipped with a safety to reverse feature.
4. Inspect operation of brake.
5. Inspect debris.
6. Inspect roller chain and drive sprockets. Align, lubricate the
sprockets, and tighten the set screws.
7. Generally inspect the motor mounting, and tighten the
fasteners and bracing.
8. Verify that all conduit connections are tight and have no
exposed wires.
9. Inspect the electrical enclosure for debris, arching and
moisture. Check for and tighten loose wiring connections.
10. Test motor operation through all control stations.
11. Check limit switch settings.
12. Examine safety edge, coil cord and take-up reel for damage.
13. Test the operation of the safety edge.
14. Check motor amperage draw for a full open and close cycle.
Compare readings to those listed on the motor nameplate.

Check at the intervals listed in the following chart:
Gearbox: The gearbox on the motor operator is factory sealed, and non vented, and should not require service for the life of the operator.
Brake Friction Material: The electromagnetic brake on the motor operator is factory adjusted, and should not require service for the
life of the operator. Should service be required, the entire unit should be replaced.
Use SAE 30 Oil (Never use grease or silicone spray).
Repeat ALL procedures.
• Do not lubricate motor. Motor bearings are lubricated and
sealed at the factory.
• Inspect and service whenever a malfunction is observed or
suspected.
To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution, disconnect ALL electric power BEFORE
performing ANY maintenance.
