IJSING THE OPENER

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices (wait one-second between commands):

1 The transmitter. (The TOP (large) push button has been factory preset to operate door) Hold push button down until door starts to move

2 The lighted wall control, Hold button down until door starts to move

3The Key Switch orTouch Code Lock(if you have installed either of these accessories)

OPENING THE DOOR MANUALLY

The door can be operated manually by disconnecting it from the opener THE DOOR SHOULD BE FULLY CLOSED IF

POSSIBLE, WEAK OR BROKEN SPRINGS COULD ALLOW

AN OPEN DOOR TO FALL RAPIDLY. PROPERTY DAMAGE

OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.

Simply pull down sharply on red emergency release handle and lift the door manually To automatically reconnect the door to the opener, press the wall control push button

DO NOT USE THE EMERGENCY HANDLE TO PULLTHE

WHEN OPENER IS ACTIVATED:

I If open, door will close if closed, door will open

2If closing, the door will reverse

3If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air)

4If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close

5If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse

6If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will stop

7[f the optional Infrared Reversing Sensor is installed, the garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when the invisible beam is broke n An open doorwill not close when the beam is broken The sensor has no effect in the open- ing cycle

THE OPENER LIGHT will turn on under the following con- ditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when power is interrupted; when the opener is activated. It will turn off auto- matically after 4-1/2 minutes. Bulb size-75 Watts maximum

When properly installed, the opener will provide high perfor- mance with a minimum of maintenance Opener does not require additional lubrication

When operated manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments must be checked and properly set when opener is installed, Only a screwdriver is required Weather conditions may

cause minor changes in door operation requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the first year of opera- tion. Page 17 refers to limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully and repeat SAFETY REVERSE TEST

after any adjustment

PG.18)., GARAGE DOOR MUSTREVERSE ON CONTACT

WITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR.

FAILURE TO PROPERLYADJUSTOPEN ER MAY RESULT

IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GAR-

AGE DOOR.

CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT: After installation of the

opener and adjustment of forces and limits, chain may appear loose This is normal

MAINTENANCE

AT LEAST4 TIMES A YEAR

MANUALLY OPERATE DOOR. If it is unbalanced or bind- ing, call for professional garage door service

CHECK TO MAKE SURE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES FULLY. Adjust Limits and/or Force if necessary

REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST. Make any necessary adjustments (see page 18)

TO CHECK THE CHAIN TENSION: disconnect the trolley by pulling the red emergency handle If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 5 Page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustments.

THE TRANSMITTER: The 3-channel transmitter will operate more than one garage door opener, if desired. The additional push buttons may also be used to operate other remote con- trol devices. Transmitter(s) may be secured to a car sun visor with clip(s) provided. Additional transmitters can be purchased at any time (Refer to Accessories, Pg_ 2)

Any new transmitters must be set to the same code as original transmitter and receive_ Page 19 explains how to change your existing code and how to use the transmitter(s) with other remote control devices Self service of your radio con-

trois is not recommended If service is needed, contact your nearest Sears Service Center

TRANSMITTER BATTERY: The 9-Volt battery should pre- d_ce power for approximately one year As long as there is

adequate power, the transmitter battery test light will glow when a push button is pressed (and the opener will operate) When the light does not come on, replace battery If transmis- sion range lessens, check battery light

Avoid the inconvenience of unexpected failure by replacing battery annually, preferably before winter Use a general purpose, 9 volt battery

TO CHANGE BATTERY: Remove visor clip and connecting screw in transmitter case Set aside top of case and discard old battery Snap connector onto new battery Replace top of case and connecting screw Replace visor clip,

1 With door closed, locate and mark the vertical centerline of garage door Extend line onto header wall above door

2, Locate height for header bracket by opening door to highest point of travel as shown, Draw an inter- secting horizontal line on header wall 2" above high point This height provides travel clearance for top edge of door

NOTE: When headroom is not su fficient for 2" clearance, the bottom edge of bracket may be placed parallel to the high point of travel, or bracket may be attached to ceiling.

Door Clearance Brackets are designed for low headroom installations(Page 2). They replace top brackets and rollers on the garage door,

thereby lowering the high point of door travel. Installation instructions are contained in the

PROCEDURE: Position opener chassis on garage floor below header bracket. Use packing material

base to protect cover NOTE: To enable Tee rail to clear sectional door springs, it may be necessary to lift the chassis onto a temporary support.

CAUTION: Chassis must either be secured to the support or held firmly in place by another person_

Raise Tee rail until cable pulley and header brackets come together Align bracket holes and join with clevis pin as shown. Secure with a ring or cotter pin fastener(if cotter pin is used, spread to secure)

NOTE: A 2x4 is convenient for setting an ideal

door-to-Tee rail distance. It is not necessary where headroom is insufficienL

PROCEDURE: Raise the opener chassis onto a step- ladder Open garage door Place a 2x4 on edge on top section of door near centerline Rest Tee rail on 2x4

PROCEDURE: Measure the distance from floor to

top of door (in fully open position and parallel to the floor)

Using a stepladder as a support, raise the opener chassis to the same distance from the floor (chassis will have a slight angle as shown)

The top of the door should be levet with the top of the opener For maximum efficiency, do not position the opener chassis more than 2 inches above this point.

PROCEDURE: On EACH side of opener measure the distance from chassis to structural support

Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit fastening angles. Do not bend at bracket holes. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in structural support. Attach flattened ends of brackets to the support with 5/1 6"xl-7/8" lag screws

Lift opener and fasten to hanging bracket as shown

Checkto make sure Tee rail is centered over door.

REMOVE 2x4. Operate door manuaNy If door hits the rail, raise header bracket.

1_ Check battery test light If the light is out, change the battery(Page 5 tells you how).

2. Change the location of transmitter in the car.

3 A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce transmission range.
