a torsion spring or center bearing
plate is in the way; or you can attach
it to the ceiling (refer to page 12)
when clearance is minimal. (It may
be mounted on the wall upside down
if necessary, to gain approximately
1/2".)
If you need to install the header bracket
on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag
screws (not provided) to securely fasten
the 2x4 to structuralsupports as shown
here.
• Open your door to the highest
point of travel as shown. Draw
an intersecting horizontal line on
the header wall 2" above the

• Receiver terminal screws and the antenna are
located on the back panel of the opener. Position
the antenna wire as shown.
• Then connect the bell wire to the opener terminal
screws: white to 2 and white/red to 1.
Remember to affix the User Safety instruction
label to the wall near the Door Control, and the
Maintenance Instruction Label in a prominent
location on the inside of the garage door.
f the label adhesive will not adhere to your garage
wall surface (or becomes loose with time), use tacks
to secure the label alongside the Door Control.
Page 29 explains how to operate the opener using
the door control.
Children operating or playing with a garage
door opener can injure themselves or others.
The garage door could close and cause
serious injury or death.

1:o reduce the riskof electric shock, your garage door
opener has a grounding type plug with a third
grounding pin. This plug will onlyflt intoa grounding
type outlet.
If the plug doesn't fit intothe outlet you have, contact
a qualified electricianto installthe properoutlet.
I To avoid installation difficulties,
do not run the opener at this time.
Right Wrong
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:
To make a permanent connection through the 718"
diameter hole in the top of the opener (according
to local code):
• Remove the opener 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.

Safety Reversing System
Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor must be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a
required safety device and cannot be disabled.
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be killed by a closing garage door. Read and
follow all instructions.
To protect small children, Install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
Be sure power to the opener ls disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye. The unitscan be installedon
either side of the garage door as long as the sun
never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
Look at the label on the connector end ofeach case
to identify the sensors.
The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other
as shown below in Figure 1,
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
garage door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position and the opener light will
flash for 5 seconds.
The brackets mustbe securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the studs on either side of the door,
or add a piece of wood at each location if installingin
masonry construction.
The invisible lightbeam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,
hinges, rollersor other hardware) can interruptthe
beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece
of wood to buildout each sensor mounting location
to the minimumdepth required for light beam
clearance.

Figures 2 and 3 show assembly of brackets and
"C" wrap based on the recommended installation of
the sensors as shown on page 19,
However, Figures 4 and 5 are variations which may
fit your installation requirements better. Make sure
the wraps and brackets are allgned so the
sensors will face each other across the garage
door.
• Fasten the "C" wraps tothe mounting brackets
having square holes, using the hardware shown
in Figure 2.
• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using
the hardware shown in Figure 3.
Note the allgnment of the brackets for left and
right sides of the door.
• Finger tighten the lock nuts.
• Use bracket mounting holesas a template to locate
and drill(2) 3/16" diameter pilotholes on bothsides
of the garage door, 4"-6"above the f]corbut not
exceeding 6". (See warning on page 19.)
• Attach bracket assemblies with 1/4"x1-1/2"

, Run the wires from both sensors to the opener.
Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and
ceiling.
• Strip 1/4' of insulation from each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficientlyto
connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2
and white/black to 3.
Aligning the Safety Sensors
• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lightsin both
the sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if
wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is
off, dim or flickering in the receiving eye (and the
invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and re-adjust,
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust
sensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receives
the sender's beam. When the green indicator light
glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Proceed to Adjustment Step 1, page 24. Trolley will re-engage automatically when the opener is operated.
Adjustment Section: Pages 24 - 26
Adjustment Step 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments until the
safety reversing sensors are completely
installed.
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at
which the door will stop when moving up or down.
The door will stop in the updirsction if anything
interferes with door travel. The door will reverse in
the down direction if anything interferes with the
door travel (including binding or unbalanced doors)
To operate the opener, press the DoQrControl
button. 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 ofthese tests, no limit
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test
fails (see page 26).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Run the
opener through a complete travel cycle after
each adjustment.
Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheat and
shut off. Simp/y wait 15 minutes and try again.
Read the procedures carefully before continuing on
to Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make
limit adjustments.

How and When to Adjust the Limits
• If the door does not open completely but opens
at least five feet:
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel,
NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the
cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance
of 2-4 '°between the trolley and the bolt.
• If door does not open at least 5 feet:
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" of travel.
If door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the pulley bracket (see page 4), try
lengthening the door arm. (See page 23.)
If you have adjusted the door arm to the maximum
length and the door stillwill not close completely,
lower the header bracket. See Installation Steps 1
and 2, pages 11 and 12.
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit
adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2"
of travel.
• If the door reverses when closing and there is
no visible interference to travel cycle:
If the opener light is flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or
obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 21.
Test thedoor for binding: Pull the emergency release
handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door
is binding,call for garage door service. Ifthe door is
not bindingor unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close)
force. See Adjustment Step 2.
_A
Adjustment Step 2 I
Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the back
panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings
regulate the amount of power required to open and
close the door.
The door will stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the
clowndirection if anything interferes with its travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
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 260
degrees, about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force
controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment
controls with a screwdriver.
Too much force on the door will interfere with
the proper operation of the safety reverse
system. The door might not reverse properly
when required and could seriously injure or
kill someone under it. Do not increase the
force beyond the minimum required to close
the door. Do not use the force adjustments to
compensate for a binding or sticking garage
door. Test the safety reverse system following
all adjustments to force levels. See page 26.

A0justment Label
Back Panel of Opener
U
How and When to Adjust the Forces
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 one-inch
obstruction. See page 26. If the door is hard to
hold or doesn't reverse, decrease the DOWN (close)
force by turning the control counterclockwise.
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete cycle.
Test the UP (open) force:
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through UP (open) travet. 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 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
stops easily. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet:
Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turnadjustments until
door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limitif
necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle
and the opener light iswn't flashing:
Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the
door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment,
runthe opener through a complete travel cycle.
Do not increase the force beyond the minimum
amount required to close the door.
Adjustment Step 3
Test The Safety Reversing Sensor
I
• Press the Door Control button to open the door.
• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
• Press the Door Control button to close the door.
The door will not move more than an inch, and the
opener light willflash.
Professional service is required ff the opener
closes the door when the safety reversing
sensor is obstructed.
The garage door opener will not close from a
remote if the indicator light In either sensor is
off, alerting you to the fact'that the sensor Is
misaligned or obstructed.
The garage door can be closed by pressing and
holdingthe Door Control button untildown travel is

Adjustment Step 4
Test the Safety Reverse System
Test:
• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the
floor, centered under the garage door.
• Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on striking the obstruction.
Adjustment:
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.
• Repeat the test.
Make sure limit adjustments do not force the
door arm beyond a straight up and down
position. See the illustration on page 23.
• When the door reverses on the one-inch object
(or 2x4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run
the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to
test adjustment.
If the door will not reverse after repeated
adjustment attempts, call for professional
garage door service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not permit children either to operate or to play with the opener. Keep a remote control in a
location inaccessible to children.
3. Operate opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door In
sight until it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. Check safety reversal system monthly. See page 26. The garage door MUST reverse on contact
with a one-inch object (or a 2x4 board laid flat) placed on the floor. If an adjustment is made to
either the force or the limit of travel, both adjustments may be needed and the safety reversal
system must be checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in severe injury or death.
5. If possible, use the emergency release only when the door is in a closed position. Caution should
be taken whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door:open. Weak or Eroken springs
may cause the door to fall rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See page 3. An improperly balanced doormaynot
reverse when required and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring
assemblies and other hardware must be made by a professional garage door person.
7. Disconnect the electric power from the garage door opener before making any repairs or removing
the covers.

Situation
Having a Problem?
Probable Cause & Solution
The opener doesn't
operate from either
the door control or
the remote control:
1. Does the opener have electricpower'?.Plug a lamp intothe outlet. If itdoesn't light,
check the fusebox or the circuitbreaker. (Some outletsare controlledby a wall switch.)
2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installationinstructionwarnings on
Page 10.
3. Is there a build-upof ice or snow under the door?.The door may be frozen to the
ground. Remove any restriction.
4. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.
5. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait
15 minutes. Try again.
Opener operates
from the remote
control but not from
the door control..
1. Is the door control button lit?If not, Remove the bellwire from the opener terminal
screws. Short the red and white terminals by touching bothterminals at the same
time with a piece of wire. Ifthe opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the
door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 16.
The door operates
from the door control,
but not from the
remote controh
1. Does the battery test light glow when the remote controlpush button is pressed? If
not, replace the battery.
2. Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to Instructions on the
opener panel.
3. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.
4. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.
The remote control
has short range:
1. Check the battery test light. If the light isdim, change the battery.
2. Change the location of the remote control in your car.
3. Check to be sure the antenna on the back panel of opener extends fully downward.
