wires reversed), broken or disconnected wires, replace/attach as needed.

•  Disconnect all wires from back of motor unit.

•  Remove sensors from brackets and shorten sensor wires to 1-2 ft. (30-60 cm) from 

back each of sensor.

•  Reattach sending eye to motor unit using shortened wires. If sending eye indicator 

light glows steadily, attach the receiving eye.

•  Align sensors, if the indicator lights glow replace the wires for the sensors. If the 

sensor indicator lights do not light, replace the safety reversing sensors.

replace door control.

Momentarily short across red and white terminals with jumper wire. If motor unit 
activates, replace door control wires.

•  If it is still fl ashing 5 times and motor unit moves 6-8" (15-20 cm), replace RPM 

sensor.
