TOOLS NEEDED

During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools as illustrated below.

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 12 – Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 12 – 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, an emergency key release is required.
• 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 2. Floor or door should be repaired

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (Installation Step 8).
• 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 (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 8.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Generally, a one-piece door does not require reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to the information relating to sectional doors in Installation Step 8.
• Depending on your door’s construction, you may need additional mounting hardware for the door bracket (Installation Step 8).

Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor MUST NOT exceed 1/4″ (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may NOT work properly.
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate the gap.

CARTON INVENTORY

Your garage door opener is packaged in one carton which contains the motor unit and all parts illustrated below. Accessories will depend on the model purchased. If anything is missing, carefully check the packing material.

Hardware for assembly and installation is shown on the next page. Save the carton and packing material until installation and adjustment is complete.

HARDWARE INVENTORY

Separate all hardware and group as shown below for the assembly and installation procedures.

ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLE THE RAIL AND INSTALL THE TROLLEY

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.

The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end. The front rail has a rail tab. This tab MUST be on the top of the rail when assembled.

1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 9. NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top. For convenience, put a support under the front end of the rail.
4. As a temporary stop, insert a screwdriver into the hole 10″ (25 cm) from the front end of the rail, as shown.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose during shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.
6. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back end to the screwdriver.
7. Slide the rail onto the “U” bracket, until it reaches all the stops on the top and sides of the “U” bracket.

FASTEN THE RAIL TO THE MOTOR UNIT

1. Insert a 1/4″-20 x 2-1/2″ bolt into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 1/4″-20 lock nut.
   DO NOT overtighten.

2. Remove the bolt and lock nut from the top of the motor unit.

3. Use the carton to support the front end of the rail.

4. Place the “U” bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket holes with the bolt holes.

5. Fasten the “U” bracket with the previously removed bolt and lock nut; DO NOT use any power tools. The use of power tools may permanently damage the garage door opener.

6. Attach chain spreader to the motor unit with two screws.

To avoid SERIOUS damage to garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners mounted in the top of the opener.

INSTALL THE IDLER PULLEY

1. Lay the chain/cable beside the rail, as shown. Grasp the end of the cable
   and pass approximately 12″ (30 cm) of cable through the window. Allow it
   to hang until Assembly Step 4.

2. Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside center should be pregreased. If dry, regrease to ensure proper operation.

3. Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.

4. Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail and pulley. Tighten with a 3/8″ lock washer and nut underneath the rail until the lock washer is compressed.

5. Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.

6. Locate the rail tab. The rail tab is near the idler pulley on the front rail section. Use a flat head screwdriver and lift the rail tab until the tab is vertical (90º).

INSTALL THE CHAIN/CABLE

1. Pull the cable around the idler pulley and toward the trolley.

2. Connect the cable to the retaining slot on the trolley, as shown. ( Figure 1 )
   a. From below, push pins of master link bar up through cable link and trolley slot.
   b. Push master link cap over pins and past pin notches.
   c. Slide clip-on spring over cap and onto pin notches until both pins are securely locked in place.

3. With the trolley against the screwdriver, dispense the remainder of the cable/chain along the rail toward the motor unit around the sprocket and continuing to the trolley assembly. The sprocket teeth must engage the chain. ( Figure 2 )

4. Check to make sure the chain is not twisted, then connect it to the threaded shaft with the remaining master link.

5. Thread the inner nut and lock washer onto the trolley threaded shaft.

6. Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in the trolley. Be sure the chain is not twisted. ( Figure 3 )

7. Loosely thread the outer nut onto the trolley threaded shaft.

8. Remove the screwdriver.

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY to finger from moving garage door opener:

• ALWAYS keep hand clear of sprocket while operating opener.
• Securely attach sprocket cover BEFORE operating.

TIGHTEN THE CHAIN

1. Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley threaded shaft, away from the trolley.

2. To tighten the chain, turn the outer nut in the direction shown ( Figure 1 ).
   

3. When the chain is approximately 1/4″ (6 mm) above the base of the rail at it’s midpoint, re-tighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment ( Figure 2 ).
   

Sprocket noise can result if chain is too loose. When installation is complete, you may notice some chain droop with the door closed. This is normal. If the chain returns to the position shown in Figure 2 when the door is open, do not re-adjust the chain.

NOTES:

• During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the emergency release handle to disconnect the trolley before adjusting the chain.
• You may notice loosening of chain after Adjustment Step 2 (Test the Safety Reversal System). Check for proper tension and readjust chain if necessary. Then repeat Adjustment Step 2.

You have now finished assembling your garage door opener. Please read the following warnings before proceeding to the installation section.

INSTALLATION

DETERMINE THE HEADER BRACKET LOCATION

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2×4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door. You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 14) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2″ (1 cm). If you need to install the header bracket on a 2×4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2×4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 14.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high point:

• 2″ (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and one-piece door with track.
• 8″ (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.

This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door.

NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 14 for ceiling installation.

INSTALL THE HEADER BRACKET

You can attach the header bracket either to the wall above the garage door, or to the ceiling. Follow the instructions which will work best for your particular requirements. Do not install the header bracket over drywall. If installing into masonry, use concrete anchors (not provided).

WALL HEADER BRACKET INSTALLATION

1. Center the bracket on the vertical centerline with the bottom edge of the bracket on the horizontal line as shown (with the arrow pointing toward the ceiling).
2. Mark the vertical set of bracket holes. Drill 3/16″ pilot holes and fasten the bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.
   

CEILING HEADER BRACKET INSTALLATION

1. Extend the vertical centerline onto the ceiling as shown.
2. Center the bracket on the vertical mark, no more than 6″ (15 cm) from the wall. Make sure the arrow is pointing away from the wall. The bracket can be mounted flush against the ceiling when clearance is minimal.
3. Mark the side holes. Drill 3/16″ pilot holes and fasten bracket securely to a structural support with the hardware provided.

ATTACH THE RAIL TO THE HEADER BRACKET

1. Position the opener on the garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material as a protective base.
   NOTE: If the door spring is in the way, you will need help. Have someone hold the opener securely on a temporary support to allow the rail to clear the spring.

2. Position the rail bracket against the header bracket.

3. Align the bracket holes and join with a clevis pin as shown.

4. Insert a ring fastener to secure.
   
   

POSITION THE OPENER

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated.

To prevent damage to garage door, rest garage door opener rail on 2×4 placed on top section of door.

SECTIONAL DOOR OR ONE-PIECE DOOR WITH TRACK

A 2×4 laid flat is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail distance.

1. Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.
2. Open the door all the way and place a 2×4 laid flat on the top section beneath the rail ( Figure 1 ).
3. If the top section or panel hits the trolley when you raise the door, pull
   down on the trolley release arm to disconnect inner and outer sections.
   Slide the outer trolley toward the motor unit. The trolley can remain disconnected until Installation Step 12 is completed.
   
   

ONE-PIECE DOOR WITHOUT TRACK

A 2×4 on its side is convenient for setting an ideal door-to-rail distance.

1. Raise the opener onto a stepladder. You will need help at this point if the ladder is not tall enough.
2. Open the door all the way and place a 2×4 on its side on the top section of the door beneath the rail ( Figure 2 ).
3. The top of the door should be level with the top of the motor unit. Do not position the opener more than 4″ (10 cm) above this point.
   

HANG THE OPENER

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used if installing ANY brackets into masonry.

Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings ( Figures 2 and 3 ), attach a sturdy metal bracket to structural supports before installing the opener. This bracket and fastening hardware are not provided.

1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor unit to the structural support.
2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths.
3. Drill 3/16″ pilot holes in the structural supports.
4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with 5/16″-9×1-5/8″ lag screws.
5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with 5/16″-18×7/8″ hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.
6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the door (or in line with the header bracket if the bracket is not centered above the door).
7. Remove the 2×4. Operate the door manually. If the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.

NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this time

INSTALL THE LIGHTS

1. Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.
2. Insert an A19 incandescent (100 watt maximum) or compact fluorescent (26W, 100W equivalent) light bulb into the light socket. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.
3. Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
4. If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration, replace with a garage
   door opener bulb. Use A19, standard neck garage door opener for replacement.

NOTE: Do not use halogen, short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these may
overheat the end panel or light socket. Do not use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of your remote control(s).

To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the end panel or light socket:

• Use ONLY A19 incandescent (100W maximum) or compact fluorescent (26W maximum) light bulbs.
• DO NOT use incandescent bulbs larger than 100W.
• DO   NOT use compact fluorescent light bulbs larger than 26W (100W equivalent).
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs.
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs

ATTACH THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ROPE AND HANDLE

1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1″ (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor, avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure the emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid entanglement.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:

• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

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 9.

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.

Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket. Contact the garage door manufacturer or installing dealer for opener reinforcement instructions or reinforcement kit.

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″-
  14×5/8″ self-threading screws. ( Figure 2A )

• Alternately, use two 5/16″-18×2″ 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″-18×2″ carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). ( Figure 4 )

NOTE: The 1/4″-14×5/8″ self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.

ONE-PIECE DOORS

Please read and comply with the warnings and reinforcement instructions on the previous page. They apply to one-piece doors also.

• Center the door bracket on the top of the door, in line with the header
  bracket as shown. Mark either the left and right, or the top and bottom
  holes.

• Metal Doors: Drill 3/16″ pilot holes and fasten the bracket with the 1/4″- 14×5/8″ self-threading screws provided.

• Wood Doors: Drill 5/16″ holes and use 5/16″x2″ carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided) or 5/16″x1-1/2″ lag screws (not provided) depending on your installation needs.

NOTE: The door bracket may be installed on the top edge of the door if required for your installation. (Refer to the dotted line optional placement drawing.)

• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

INTRODUCTION

NOTE: Older door controls and third party products are not compatible.

Install the door control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) above floors, landings, steps or any other adjacent walking surface where small children cannot reach, and away from the moving parts of the door.

NOTE: For gang box installations it is not necessary to drill holes or install the drywall anchors. Use the existing holes in the gang box.

WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 1)

1. Strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from one end of the wire and separate the wires.
2. Connect one wire to each of the two screws on the back of the door control. The wires can be connected to either screw.
   Pre-wired installations: Choose any two wires to connect, but make note of which wires are used so that the correct wires are connected to the garage door opener in a later step.

MOUNT THE DOOR CONTROL (FIGURE 2)

1. Mark the location of the bottom mounting hole and drill a 5/32″ hole.
2. Install the bottom screw, allowing 1/8″ (3 mm) to protrude from the wall.
3. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw and slide down into place.
4. Lift the push bar and mark the top hole.
5. Remove the door control from the wall and drill a 5/32″ hole for the top screw.
6. Position the bottom hole of the door control over the screw and slide down into place. Attach the top screw.
   

WIRE THE DOOR CONTROL TO THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER (FIGURE 3)

Pre-wired installations: When wiring the door control to the garage door opener make sure you use the same wires that are connected to the door control.

1. Run the white and red/white wire from the door control to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the staples (not applicable for gang box or pre-wired installations). Do not pierce the wire with the staple as this may cause a short or an open circuit.
2. Strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from the other end of the wire near the garage door opener.
3. Connect the wire to the red and white terminals on the garage door opener.

INSTALL THE SAFETY REVERSAL SYSTEM

Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6″ (15 cm) above garage floor.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener lights; as the lights turns off, the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on, the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.

When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:

• Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
• Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight.
• Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.

Facing the door from inside the garage

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):

1. 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 (Figures 2 and 3):

1. 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.
2. If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
3. 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.
4. Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
5. 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):

1. 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.
2. Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.
3. Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

1. Slide a 1/4″-20 x 1/2″ 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 ).
   

2. Finger tighten the wing nuts.

Option A – Installation Without Pre-Wiring:

1. Run the bell wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the staples ( Figure 6 ).
   

Option B – Pre-Wired Installation:

If your garage already has wires installed for the safety reversing sensors, follow the instructions below:

1. Cut the end of the safety sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall ( Figure 7 ).
   

2. Separate the safety sensor wires and strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor ( Figure 8 ).
   

3. Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each sensor ( Figure 9 ).
   

CONNECT TO GARAGE DOOR OPENER:

1. Strip 7/16″ (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like colored wires together. Insert wires into quick connect holes: white to white and white/black to grey ( Figure 10 ).
   

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.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:

• Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure. To make a permanent connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top of the motor unit (according to local code):

1. Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
2. Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3. 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.
4. Reinstall the cover.
   

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned correctly.

When the light beam is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse and the garage door opener lights will flash ten times. If the door is already open, it will not close.

1. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily. The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and wired correctly.

The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors, and tightening the wing nuts.

IF THE AMBER LED ON THE SENDING SENSOR IS NOT GLOWING:

1. Make sure there is power to the garage door opener.
2. Make sure the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
3. Make sure the sensor has been wired correctly: white wires to white terminal and white/black wires to grey terminal.

IF THE GREEN LED ON THE RECEIVING SENSOR IS NOT GLOWING:

1. Make sure the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
2. Make sure the sensors are aligned.

ADJUSTMENT

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

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• 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 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.

INTRODUCTION

Your garage door opener is designed with electronic controls to make setup and adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the door will stop in the open (UP) and close (DOWN) position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the door. The force is adjusted automatically when you program the travel.

NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel, it will reverse.

ONE-PIECE DOORS ONLY

When setting the UP travel for a one-piece door ensure that the door does not slant backwards when fully open (UP). If the door is slanted backwards this will cause unnecessary bucking and/or jerking when the door is opening or closing.

PROGRAMMING BUTTONS

The programming buttons are located on the left side panel of the garage door opener and are used to program the travel.

PROGRAM THE TRAVEL

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

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• 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 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

1. Press and hold the Adjustment Button until the UP Button begins to flash and/or a beep is heard.
   

2. Press and hold the UP Button until the door is in the desired UP position. NOTE: The UP and DOWN Buttons can be used to move the door up and down as needed.
   

3. Once the door is in the desired UP position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice and the DOWN Button will begin to flash. IMPORTANT NOTE: For one-piece door installations refer to page 29
   

4. Press and hold the DOWN Button until the door is in the desired DOWN position. NOTE: The UP and DOWN Buttons can be used to move the door up and down as needed.
   

5. Once the door is in the desired DOWN position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice and the UP Button will begin to flash.
   

6. Press and release the UP Button. When the door travels to the programmed UP position, the DOWN Button will begin to flash.
   

7. Press and release the DOWN Button. The door will travel to the programmed DOWN position. Programming is complete.
   

• If the garage door opener lights are flashing 5 times during the steps for Program the Travel, the programming has timed out. If the garage door opener lights are flashing 10 times during the steps for Program the Travel, the safety reversing sensors are misaligned or obstructed (refer to page 28). When the sensors are aligned and unobstructed, cycle the door through a complete up and down cycle using the remote control or the UP and DOWN buttons. Programming is complete.
  If you are unable to operate the door up and down, repeat the steps for Programming the Travel.

TEST THE SAFETY REVERSAL SYSTEM

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

• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
• 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 2×4 laid flat) on the floor.

TEST

1. With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.
2. Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door MUST reverse when it makes contact with the board.

If the door stops but does not reverse:

1. Review the installation instructions provided to insure all steps were followed;
2. Repeat Program the Travel (see Adjustment Step 1);
3. Repeat the Safety Reversal test.

If the test continues to fail, call a trained door systems technician.

ADJUST

• If the door stops and does not reverse on the obstruction, the down travel needs to be increased (refer to Adjustment Step 1). NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position.
• Repeat the test.
• If the garage door opener continues to fail the safety reversal test, call a trained door systems technician.
  

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:

Test the Safety Reverse System 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.

FEATURES

Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your garage door operation.

REMOTE CONTROLS AND DOOR CONTROLS

Your garage door opener has already been programmed at the factory to operate with your remote control, which changes with each use, randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes.

THE SAFETY REVERSAL SYSTEM

When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared 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 the door is fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned, the door will not close from a remote control. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not effect the opening cycle.

ENERGY CONSERVATION

For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated.
The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.

LIGHTS

The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored after interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated. The lights will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. An incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum) or for maximum energy efficiency a 26W (100W equivalent) compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb may be used.

USING YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER

The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keyless entry or myQ® accessory.

When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop. When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will close. If the garage door opener senses an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door opener lights will blink 10 times.
However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do no effect the opening cycle.
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER SAFETY & MAINTENANCE GUIDE

GARAGE DOOR OPENER SAFETY – AN AUTOMATIC DECISION

A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes – which could lead to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.

Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system. Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm. Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this guide carefully and keep it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function in a safe and trouble-free manner. Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door opener’s manual as it provides more details and safety considerations than can be supplied with this guide.

GARAGE DOOR OPENERS ARE NOT TOYS

Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.

Stay away from a moving door.

Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children. Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control devices.

The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the closing garage door.

Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the wall- mounted push button or transmitter.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CAN PREVENT TRAGEDIES

Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine. Review your owner’s manual for both the door and door opener.
If you don’t have the owner’s manuals, contact the manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.

WARNING – SPRINGS ARE UNDER HIGH TENSION. ONLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS SHOULD ADJUST THEM.

Visually check the door and installation:

• Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
• Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
• These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
• If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
• Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6″ from the garage floor.
  

Test the door for proper operation:

• Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
• The door should move freely and without difficulty.
• The door should balance and stay partially open 3–4 feet above the floor.
• If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
  

Test the opener safety features:

• Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
• Place a 2×4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2×4 and then reverse direction.
• Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
• If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
