2 Perform the Open and Close Limit Adjustments
(Section 5).
(Section 6).
Every 6 Months
Check the belt or chain tension.
• For belt-drive rails, examine the length of the tension spring in the traveler. It should be about 1” long.
• For chain-drive rails, examine the spacing between the turnbuckle and the rail. The turnbuckle should be slightly above the rail.
NOTE: Too much or too little chain tension will cause
excessive sprocket noise.
Chain Adjustment
If necessary, use the following steps to adjust the chain.
1 Hold the turnbuckle with a flat blade screwdriver and
loosen the two locknuts with a 7/16” end wrench.
2 Twist the turnbuckle to adjust the chain tension. Adjust
the chain until the turnbuckle is sightly above the rail.
3 Hold the turnbuckle with a flat blade screwdriver and
tighten the two locknuts with a 7/16” end wrench.

4 Testing the Infrared Safety Beam
The safety beam has two components, a sender and a receiver. The sender produces a narrow infrared beam that travels across the bottom of the door opening to the infrared receiver. If an object blocks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop, then reverse and fully open (the opener’s light will flash three times).
As a safety feature, the opener will ignore signals from all remote controls if the door is open and the infrared safety beam is blocked or out of alignment. In this case, the door can be forced closed by pressing and holding the wall station’s up/down arrow pushbutton (be sure the door area is in clear view).
WARNING
With the door closed, disengage the trolley from the chain during these alignment tests by pulling the red release handle.
Safety Beam Test
1 Check that the opener has power. The green lights on
the sender and receiver should be lit.
Serious injury or death from a closing garage door may result because of failure to test and adjust safety reverse system. Repeat this test monthly and adjust as needed.
SAFETY BEAM INDICATORS
WARNING
2 If the receiver’s green light is on, but the red light is off,
the receiver has power but is not detecting the infrared beam from the sender. The red light might flash when the beam is partially detected. This can be caused by mis-alignment or something blocking the beam. Adjust the safety beam sender and receiver while watching the receiver’s red light (stay out of the beam while aligning it). When the red light stays on, the beam is aligned.

CHECKING FOR REVERSAL
from the door, press the wall station’s UP/DOWN ARROW button to move the traveler (the part on the belt or chain that the trolley engages with) to the up position (away from the door).
4 Push the wall station’s UP/DOWN ARROW button again.
While the traveler is moving to the down position (toward the door), block the safety beam. THE TRAVELER MUST STOP, THEN REVERSE TO THE UP POSITION. The opener’s lights should flash three times.
5 Place an object in the path of the safety beam. Check
that constant pressure is required on the wall station’s UP/DOWN ARROW button to cause the traveler to move toward the down position. Release the pushbutton before the opener stops; check that the

5 Adjusting the Open and Close Limits
The limit adjustments that control how far the door will open or close are located on the side of the opener. The limits should be adjusted so the door opens just short of any door stops, and closes right at the floor level. Each full turn of a limit adjustment equals about 2-½” of door
travel.
CAUTION
Set the open and close limits carefully. Setting the limits beyond the distance that the door can travel could cause damage to the door, the door hardware, or opener.
1 Start with the door in the closed position.
2 Activate the remote control. Wait while the door moves
to the open position and stops.
3 Examine the position of the door.
• If the door needs to open more, turn the OPEN LIMIT adjustment clockwise ¼-turn (towards UP on the label) to raise the open limit.
NOTE: On jamb doors, set the open limit so the door
stops just short of level (see figure).
4 Activate the remote control. Wait for the door to move
down a few feet, then activate the remote control again to stop the door.
adjusted.
6 Activate the remote control. Wait while the door moves
to the closed position and stops.
7 Examine the position of the door.
• If the door needs to close more, turn the CLOSE LIMIT adjustment counterclockwise ¼-turn (towards DOWN on the label) to lower the close limit.
• If the door needs to close less, turn the CLOSE LIMIT adjustment clockwise ¼-turn (towards UP on the label) to raise the close limit.
8 Activate the remote control. Wait for the door to move
up a few feet, then activate the remote control again to stop the door.
9 Repeat Steps 6-8 until the close limit is properly
adjusted.
NOTE: If the door stops during opening or reverses
during closing before reaching the limits, the door force adjustment needs to be set. Change the adjustment as described in the next section then return to this step to finish setting the limits.

6 Testing & Adjusting the Door Force Safety System
The door force adjustments are located on the side of the opener. The door force adjustments must be properly set at all times. The CLOSE FORCE adjustment controls how much force is required to cause the door to reverse
direction if an obstruction is encountered during closing. The OPEN FORCE adjustment controls how much force is required to stop the door if an obstruction is encountered during opening.
WARNING
SETTING THE DOOR FORCE
Too much door force will interfere with the proper operation of the safety system. SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THE DOOR FORCE IS SET TOO HIGH. A closing door might not reverse properly when required and someone could be pinned under it. An opening door might not stop when going up and someone hanging on the door could get pinned between the door and the header. Do not increase the door force beyond what is required to move the door. DO NOT USE THE DOOR FORCE ADJUSTMENT TO COMPENSATE FOR A BINDING OR STICKING GARAGE DOOR. PERFORM THE SAFETY REVERSAL
