Requirements

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:

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

• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and
disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUSTbe in
compliance with all local electrical and building codes.
• NEVERuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or
change plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure
the opener is grounded.

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.

PERMANENT WiRiNG
CONNECTION

WRONG

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.
BJack Wire

• 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

Be sure power is not connected to the garage door
opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing
sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be
disabled.

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

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO
HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

When properly connected and aligned, the sensor
will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic
beam. The sending eye (with an green 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.

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 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 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.

The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware.

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 opener connections.

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.

• 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:

The sending eye green 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.

• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign
either sensor.

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed
or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will

door.

Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which
the door will stop when moving up or down.

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will
interfere with proper operation of safety reversal
system.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the
other control may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on
contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid
flat) on floor.

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 29).
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.

To prevent damageto vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequateclearance.

NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during
adjustment procedures may cause the motor to
overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and
try again.

(5-10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.

Adjustment

Label

• 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 reverses when closing and there is
no visible interference to travel cycle:

• 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 the opener lights are flashing, the Safety
Reversing Sensors are either not installed,
misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,
page 22.

If door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), try
lengthening the door arm (page 25) and
decreasing the down limit.

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.

• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit

Force

Without a properly installed safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLYINJUREDor KILLED by a closing garage
door.

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.

• Too much force on garage door will interfere with
proper operation of safety reversal system.
• NEVERincrease force beyond minimum amount
required to close garage door.
• NEVERuse force adjustments to compensate for a
binding or sticking garage door.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the
other control may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on
contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid
flat) on floor.

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
Force Adjustment
Controls

• 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 29.
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.

ADJUSTMENT

LABEL

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.

Open Force

• 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.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on
contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid
flat) on the floor.

• Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on striking the obstruction.
ADJUST
• 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.
NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure limit
adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a
straight up and down position, See the illustration
on page 25,
