LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS
Weather conditions may cause some
minor changes in door operation
requiring some readjustments,
particularly during the first year of
operation.
Pages 29 and 30 refer to the limit
and force adjustments. Only a
screwdriver is required. Follow the
instructions carefully.
Repeat the safety reverse test
(page 31) after any adjustment of
limits or force.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Once a Month
Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call
a trained door systems technician.
Check to be sure door opens & closes fully. Adjust limits
and/or force if necessary. (See pages 29 and 30.)
Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary
adjustments. (See page 31.)
Twice a Year
Check chain tension. Disconnect trolley first. Adjust if
necessary. (See page 15.)

Having a Problem?
1. The opener doesn't operate from either the Door
Control or the remote control:
Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into
the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the
circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall
switch.)
Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation
instruction warnings on page 15.
Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The
door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any
restriction.
The garage door spring may be broken. Have it
replaced.
Repeated operation may have tripped the overload
protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from the
Door Control:
Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If the
opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the
door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation
Step 6.
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but not
from the remote control:
Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has the
Lock feature, make sure it is off.
Program the opener to match the remote control code.
(Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat
with all remotes.
4. The remote control has short range:
Change the location of the remote control in your car.
Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel
of motor unit extends fully downward.
Some installations may have shorter range due to a
metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage
siding.
5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of
home:
If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of
the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator
Kit 89LM can be installed. This kit was designed to
minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.
6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:
Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.
Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals
and operate from the remote only. If this solves the
problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is
an intermittent short on the wire between the door
control and the motor unit.
Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.
