Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door.
Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditions below apply to your installation. Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to
refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of
your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials or
hardware not included in the carton.
• Installation Step 1 - Look at the wall or ceiling
above the garage door. The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structural supports.
• Installation Step 5 - Do you have a finished ceiling
in your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 10 - Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks
may be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 10 -Alternate floor mounting of
the safety reversing sensor will require hardware
not provided.
Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model 1702 Outside Quick
Release is required. See Accessories page.
Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.
Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the
door must not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the
safety reversal system may not work properly. See
Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be
repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce-
ment is required (Installation Step 11)
• The opener should be installed above the center of
the door If there is a torsion spring or center
bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it
may be installed within 4 feet (122 m) to the left or
right of the door center See Installation Steps 1
and 11
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2,13 m) high, see
rail extension kits listed on Accessories page

Install the Door Control
Locate the door control within sight of the door at a
minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small
children cannot reach, and away from all moving
parts of the door and door hardware.
1. Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from one end of the
bell wire. Connect it to the two screw terminals on
the back of the door control by color: white wire to
2 and white/red wire to 1.
2. Fasten the Lighted Door Control Button securely
with 6ABx1-1/2" screws. If installing into drywall,
drill 5/32" holes and use the anchors provided.
3. Run the bell wire up the wall and across the
ceiling to the opener. Use insulated staples to
secure the wire in several places. Do not pierce
wire with a staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Receiver terminal screws and the antenna are
located on the back panel of the opener. Position
the antenna wire as shown.
5. Connect the bell wire to the opener terminal
screws: white to 2 and white/red to 1.
6. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach the
entrapment warning label to the wall near the door
control, and the manual release/safety reverse test
in a prominent location on the inside of the garage
door.
NOTE: 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. See Safety Reversing Sensor instructions

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

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System ®
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 properly connected and aligned, the sensor
will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic
beam. The sending eye (with an amber 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 lights 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, no more than 6" (15 cm) 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.
• Be sure power is not connectedto the garagedoor
opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
• To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
- Correctly connectand align the safety reversing
sensor.This required safety device MUSTNOT be
disabled.
- Install the safety reversing sensor so beamis NO
HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.
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.

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 no
higher than 6" (15 cm) 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 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket
securely, wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3):
• 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, no higher than 6"
(15 cm) above the floor.
• 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 (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the
lenses will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) 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.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/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 (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.
• Strip 1/4" (6 mm) 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 (Figure 6).
ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light 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
Carriage Bolt _)
1/4"-20xl/2"
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow
steadily after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These
can occur at staples, or at terminal connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but
the receiving eye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open 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 closing, the door will
reverse. If the door is already open, # will not close.
The opener lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 21.

INSTALLATION STEP 11
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on the following page.
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long
enough to be secured to two or three vertical
supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should
cover the height of the top panel.
Figure 1 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.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for
direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In
this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed
to Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
1. Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as
stamped inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4"
(5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR
directly below any structural support across the
top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending
on your door's construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle
iron brace between the door panel support and
the door bracket:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws.
(Figure 2A)
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and
nuts (not provided). (Figure 2B)
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced
doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the self-threading screws (Figure 3).
Wood Doors:
• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket
holes. Drill 5/16" holes through the door and
secure bracket with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock
washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 4)

hole, adjust the limit further. One full turn equals
2" (5 cm) of trolley travel.
3. 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.
NOTE: When setting the up lim# on the following
page, the door should not have a "backward" slant
when fully open as illustrated below. A slight
backward slant will cause unnecessary bucking
and/or jerking operation as the door is being opened
or closed from the fully open position.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel
Limits
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which
the door will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push
bar. 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 (Adjustment Step 3, 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 15minutes and
try again.
NOTE: 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.
Without a properly installed safety reversalsystem,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLEDby a closing garage
door.
• Incorrect adjustment of garagedoor travel limits will
interfere with properoperation of safety reversal
system.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted,the
other control may also needadjustment.
• After ANYadjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUSTbe tested. DoorMUST reverseon
contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid
flat) onfloor.
To prevent damageto vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequateclearance.

HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
• ff the door does not open completely but opens
at least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of
travel.
NOTE: Toprevent the trolley from hitting the cover

(5-10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.
• If door does not open at least 5 feet (1.5 m):
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" (5 cm) of travel.
If door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), try
lengthening the door arm (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"
(5 cm) of travel.

ff 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 or unbalanced, call for a
trained door systems technician. If the door is
balanced and not binding, 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 motor unit. Force adjustment settings
regulate the amount of power required to open and
close the door.
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 force adjustment range is about
3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls
beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls
with a screwdriver.
NOTE: 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.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES
1. 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 1-1/2"
(3.8 cm) obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3,
page 30.
If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,
DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turning
the control counterclockwise. Make small
adjustments until the door reverses normally. After
each adjustment, run the opener through a
complete 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 small 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.
2. 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 small adjustments until the
door stops easily and opens fully. After each
adjustment, run the opener through a complete
travel cycle.
• If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet (1.5 m),
INCREASE UP (open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until door
opens completely. Readjust the UP limit if
necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLEDby a closing garage
door.
• Too much force on garagedoor will interfere with
proper operation of safety reversalsystem.
• NEVERincreaseforce beyond minimum amount
required to close garage door.
• NEVERuse force adjustmentsto compensatefor a

adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a
straight up and down position. See the illustration
on page 26.
• Repeat the test.
• When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm)
board, remove the obstruction and run the opener
through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test
adjustment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 after:
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or
force controls.
• 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.

Testedto Complywith FCCStandardsFORHOMEOROFFICEUSE.Operationis subjectto
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
causeundesiredoperation.
1. The opener doesn't operate from either the
Door Control or the remote control:
• 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.)
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review
installation instruction warnings on page 11.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door?
The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove
any restriction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it
replaced.
• Repeated operation may have tripped the
overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes
and try again.
2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from
the Door Control:
• Is the door control lit? If not, remove the bell wire
from the motor unit terminals. 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.
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review
Installation Step 6, page 18.
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but
not from the remote controh
• Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has
the Lock feature, make sure it is off.
• Program the opener to match the remote control
code. (Refer to instructions on the motor unit
panel.) Repeat with all remotes.
4. The remote control has short range:
• Change the location of the remote control in your
car.
• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back
panel of motor unit extends fully downward.
• Some installations may have shorter range due to
a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal
garage siding.
5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of
home:
up
If operational noise is a problem because of
proximity of the opener to the living quarters, the
Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM can be installed. This
kit was designed to minimize vibration to the house
and is easy to install.
33
Page 34

Having a Problem? (Continued)
6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:
• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are
off.
• Remove the bell wire from the door control
terminals and operate from the remote 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 motor unit.
• Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.
7. The door doesn't open completely:
• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of
balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the
obstruction or repair the door.
• If the door is in good working order but now
doesn't open all the way, increase the up force.
See Adjustment Step 2.
• If the door opens at least 5 feet (1.5 m), the travel
limits may need to be increased. One turn equals
2" (5 cm) of travel. See Adjustment Step 1.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is
complete.
8. 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.
9. The door opens but won't close:
• If the opener lights blink, check the safety
reversing sensor. See Installation Step 10.
• If the opener lights don't 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.
10. The door reverses for no apparent reason and
opener lights don't blink:
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the
emergency release handle. Operate the door
manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a
trained door systems technician.
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area
where the door closes.
• Review Adjustment Step 2 on page 29.
• If door reverses in the fully closed position,
decrease the travel limits (Adjustment Step 1).
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
11. The door reverses for no apparent reason and
opener lights blink for 5 seconds after
reversing:
• Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any
obstruction or align the receiving eye. See
Installation Step 10.
12. The opener lights don't turn on:
• Replace the light bulbs (75 watts maximum). Use a
standard neck garage door opener bulb if regular
bulb burns out.
13. The opener lights don't turn off:
• Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.
14. The opener strains or maximum force is
needed to operate doon
• The door may be out of balance or the springs
may be broken. Close the door and use the
emergency release handle to disconnect the
trolley. Open and close the door manually. A
properly balanced door will stay in any point of
travel while being supported entirely by its springs.
If it does not, disconnect the opener and call a
trained door systems technician. Do not increase
the force to operate the opener.
15. The opener motor hums briefly, then won't
work:
• The garage door springs may be broken. See
above.
• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the
opener, door may be locked. Disable the door lock.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is
complete.
16. The opener won't operate due to power
failure:
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect
the trolley. The door can be opened and closed
manually. When power is restored, press the Door
Control push bar and trolley will automatically
reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.)
See page 32.
• The Outside Quick Release accessory (for use on
garages with no service door) disconnects the
trolley from outside the garage in case of power
failure.
17. The chain droops or sags:
• It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the
closed door position. Use the emergency release
rope and handle to disconnect the trolley. If the
chain returns to the normal height when the trolley
is disengaged, and the door reverses on a 2x4 laid
flat, no adjustments are needed. (See page 11.)
