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 fl ashes on the motor unit 

then refer to the 

Diagnostic Chart

 on the following 

page.

2.  My remotes will not activate the door:

•  Verify your door control is not blinking. If it is 

blinking, deactivate the Lock Mode following the 
instructions for 

Using the Wall Mounted Door 

Control.

•  Reprogram remotes following the programming 

instructions. Refer to 

Programming.

 

•  If remote will still not activate your door, check 

diagnostic LED for fl ashes 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 fl oor:

 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. Refer 
to Operation section; 

Using the Wall Mounted Door 

Control, Light Feature.

6.  My motor unit hums briefl y:

•  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 belt 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.

repeat the steps above.
