CARE OF YOUR OPENER

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:

Weather conditions may cause
some minor changes in door
operation requiring some re-
adjustments, particularly during
the first year of operation.

Pages 24 and 25 refer to the
limit and force adjustments.
Only a screwdriver is required.
Follow the instructions carefully.

Repeat the safety reverse
test (Adjustment Step 3, page 26) after any
adjustment of limits or force.

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 7.

• 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,

page 14. 

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 41A3263 can be installed.
This kit was designed to minimize vibration to the
house and is easy to install.

THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

The lithium battery should produce power
for up to 5 years. To replace battery,
use the visor clip or screwdriver
blade to pry open the case as
shown. Insert battery positive
side up. (
