Having a Problem?

1. My door will not close and the light bulbs blink on my motor 

unit: 

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and 

aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in 
the down direction.

•  Verify the safety sensors are properly installed, aligned and 

free of any obstructions. Refer to 

Installation Step 10: Install 

The Protector System

®

.

•  Check diagnostic LED for flashes on the motor unit then 

refer to the 

Diagnostic Chart

 

on the following page.

2. My remotes will not activate the door:

•  Reprogram remotes following the programming instructions. 

Refer to 

Programming.

 

•  If remote will still not activate your door, check diagnostic 

LED for flashes on motor unit then refer to 

Diagnostic Chart

 

on the following page.

3. My door reverses for no apparent reason:

 Repeat safety 

reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need 
for occasional adjustment for the force and limit settings is 
normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.

•  Manually check door for balance or any binding problems. 

• Refer to 

Adjustment Step 2, Adjust the Force.

4. My door reverses for no apparent reason after fully closing 

and touching the floor:

 Repeat safety reverse test after 

adjustments to force or travel limits. The need for occasional 
adjustment for the force and limit settings is normal. Weather 
conditions in particular can affect door travel.

• Refer to 

Adjustment Step 1, Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel 

Limits.

 Decrease down travel by turning down limit 

adjustment screw clockwise.

5. My lights will not turn off when door is open:

•  The garage door opener is equipped with a security light 

feature. This feature activates the light on when the safety 
sensor beam has been obstructed.

6. My motor unit hums briefly:

•  First verify that the trolley is against the stop bolt.

•  Release the door from the opener by pulling the Emergency 

Release Rope.

•  Manually bring the door to a closed position.

•  Loosen the chain by adjusting the 

outer nut

 4 to 5 turns. 

This relieves the tension.

•  Run the motor unit from the remote control or door control. 

The trolley should travel towards the door and stop. If the 
trolley re-engages with the door, pull the Emergency Release 
Rope to disengage.

•  Decrease the UP travel by turning the UP Travel adjustment 

screw 2 full turns

 

away

 

from the arrow.

•  Re-tighten the outer nut so the chain is a 1/2" (13 mm) 

above the base of the rail. (When the door is reconnected 
and closed, the chain will sag. This is normal.)

•  If the trolley does not move away from the bolt, repeat the 

steps above.
