Hardware Inventory

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

ASSEMBLY STEP 1

Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley

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

The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end (see illustration). The hole above this “window” is larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-1/2″ (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite 4. As a temporary trolley stop, insert a screwdriver into edge, about 4-3/4″ (12 cm) from the far end.

Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket packaged inside the front rail and set aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.
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.

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

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.
As a temporary trolley stop, insert a screw driver into the hole 10″ (25 cm) away from the front of the rail, as shown.
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.
Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back end to the screwdriver.

ASSEMBLY STEP 2

Fasten the Rail to the Motor Unit

Insert a 1/4″-20×2-1/2 bolt, washer and spacer into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Install lower spacer and washer then tighten securely with a 1/4″-20 lock nut. Do NOT overtighten.
Remove the two bolts from the top of the motor unit.
Place the “U” bracket, flat side down onto the motor unit and align the bracket hole with the bolt holes. Fasten with the previously removed bolts.
Align the rail assembly with the top of the motor unit. Slide the rail end onto the “U” bracket, all the way to the stops that protrude on the top and sides of the bracket.
Attach spreader to the motor unit with two screws.

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

ASSEMBLY STEP 3

Install the Idler Pulley

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 5.
Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside center should be pre-greased. If dry, regrease to ensure proper operation.
Place the idler pulley into the window as shown.
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.
Rotate the pulley to be sure it spins freely.
Insert a 1/4″-20×1-3/4 bolt into the trolley stop hole in the front of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a ¼”-20 lock nut.

ASSEMBLY STEP 4

Install the Chain/Cable

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

Connect the cable to the retaining slot on the trolley, as shown (Figure 1):
1. From below, push pins of the master link bar up through the cable link and trolley slot.
2. Push master link cap over pins and past pin notches.
3. Slide clip-on spring over the cap and onto pin notches until both pins are securely locked in place.
With the trolley against the screwdriver, dispense the remainder of the cable/chain along the rail toward the motor unit into the slot on the chain spreader, around the sprocket onto the chain spreader, and continuing to the trolley assembly. The sprocket teeth must engage the chain (Figure 2).

Check to make sure the chain is not twisted, then connect it to the threaded shaft with the remaining master link.
Thread the inner nut and lock washer onto the trolley threaded shaft (Figure 3).

Insert the trolley threaded shaft through the hole in the trolley. Be sure the chain is not twisted (Figure 4).

Loosely thread the outer nut onto the trolley threaded shaft.
Remove the screwdriver.

WARNING

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

ALWAYS keep hand clear of sprocket while operating opener.
Securely attach chain spreader BEFORE operating.

ASSEMBLY STEP 5

Tighten the Chain

Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley threaded shaft, away from the trolley.
To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction shown (Figure 1).
When the chain is approximately 1/4″ (6 mm) above the base of the rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment.

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.

NOTE: During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the emergency release handle to disconnect trolley before adjusting chain.

NOTE: You may notice loosening of chain after Adjustment Step 3 (Test the Safety Reversal System).

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.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

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.

WARNING

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

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a 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.

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.

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):

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 REVERSING SENSORS

Slide a 1/4″-20×1/2″ 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).
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 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 6).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

lf the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after installation, check for:
1. Electric power to the opener.
2. A short in the white or white/black wires. These can occur at staples, or at opener connections.
3. Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
4. A broken wire.
If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
1. Check alignment.
2. Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
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, it will not close. The opener lights will blink 10 times.

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

Center the door bracket on the previously marked of garage vertical centerline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket.
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.
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 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).

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

CAUTION

Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket. Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.

ALL ONE-PIECE DOORS

1. Assemble the door arm, Figure 5:

IMPORTANT: The groove on the straight door arm MUST face away from the curved door arm.

Fasten the straight and curved door arm sections together to the longest possible length (with a 2 or 3 hole overlap).

With the door closed, connect the straight door arm section to the door bracket with the 5/16″x1-1/4″ clevis pin.

Secure with a ring fastener.

2. Adjustment procedures, Figure 6:

On one-piece doors, before connecting the door arm to the trolley, the travel limits must be adjusted. Limit adjustment screws are located on the left side panel as shown on page 27. Follow adjustment procedures below.

Open door adjustment: decrease UP travel limit

– Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-clockwise 4 turns.

– Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will travel to the fully open position.

– Manually raise the door to the open position (parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully open trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm does not extend far enough, adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2″ (5 cm) of trolley travel.

Closed door adjustment: decrease DOWN travel limit

– Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 4 complete turns.

– Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will travel to the fully closed position.

– Manually close the door and lift the door arm to the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just ahead of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm is behind the connector 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 limit 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 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.

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.

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 LIMITS

If the door does not open completely but opens at least five feet (1.5 m):

Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2” (5 cm) of travel.

NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4″ (5 cm – 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 cown travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2″ (5 cm) of travel.

lf 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.

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.

If 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 22.

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.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the right 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 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.

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 acjustments 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.

WARNING

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

Too much force on garage door will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close garage door.

NEVER use 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″ high (3.8 cm) object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3

Test the Safety Reversal System

TEST

With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 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.

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.

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.

If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call for a trained coor 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.

Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

WARNING

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.

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″ high (3.8 cm) object (or 2×4 laid flat) on the floor.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 4

Test The Protector System®

Press the remote control push button to open the door.

Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

Press the remote control push button to close the door.The door will not move more than an inch (2.5 cm), and the opener lights will flash.

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).

If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more than 6″ (15 cm) above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.

WARNING

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