If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Move Close Limit closer to door. When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Door must not reverse in closed position. If it does, adjust Limit and repeat safety reverse test. Place 20kg at the center of the door and ensure that the door will not move up more than 500mm.

Care Of Your Opener

When properly installed, opener will provide high performance with a minimum of maintenance. The opener does not require additional lubrication.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Install Protector System (Optional) (See accessories)
After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System accessory can be installed. Instructions are included with this optional device. The Protector System provides an additional measure of safety against a small child being caught under a garage door. It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is strongly recommended for homeowners with young children.

Program Remotes

Limit and Force Adjustments: These adjustments must be checked and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required to adjust the limits. Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in the door operation, requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the first year of operation. Refer to the Limit and Force Adjustments on page 2. Follow the instructions carefully and repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment. Remote Control Transmitter: Additional Remotes can be purchased at any time for use in all vehicles using garage. Refer to Accessories.The receiver must be programmed to operate with any new Remote. Remote Control Battery: The lithium batteries should produce power for up to 5 years. If transmission range lessens, replace battery. To Change Battery: Insert batteries positive side up. To replace cover, snap shut along both sides. Do not dispose of the old battery with household waste. Take batteries to a proper disposal center.
Activate the opener only when door is in full view, free of obstruction and properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave garage while door is in motion. Your garage door opener receiver and Remote Control Transmitter are set to a matching code. If you purchase additional Remote Controls, the garage door opener must be programmed to accept the new Remote code. To program receiver to match additional Remote Control codes: 1. Press and release the program button on the side of the unit (1). The green LED will glow steadily for 30 seconds. 2. Within 30 seconds press and hold the button on the hand-held Remote (2). 3. Release the button when the motor unit light blinks. It has learned the code. If the light bulb is not installed, two clicks will be hear. To erase all codes from motor unit memory or to deactivate any unwanted Remote, first erase all codes: Press and hold the program button (1) on motor unit until the learn indicator light goes out (approximately 6 seconds). All previous codes are now erased. Reprogram each Remote or Keyless Entry you wish to use.

Maintenance Of Your Opener
Once a Month: Repeat safety reverse test. Make any necessary adjustments.
Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service. Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Adjust Limits and/or Force if necessary. Twice a Year: Check chain tension. Disconnect Trolley first. Adjust if necessary. Once a Year: Oil door roller, bearings and hinges. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door tracks.

HAVING A PROBLEM?

1. Opener doesnt operate from remote: Does the opener have electric power? Plug lamp into outlet. If it doesnt light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.) Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation instruction warning on page 1. Try a new battery. If you have two or more remotes and only one operates, review receiver programming procedures in Step 21. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? The door may be frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it professionally replaced. 2. Remote has short range: Is battery installed? Try a new one. Change the location of the remote control in the car. The metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce the transmission range. 3. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights dont blink: Is something obstruction the door? Pull Manual Release Handle. Operate door manually. If it is unbalance or binding, call for professional garage door service. Reprogram the Force. Clear any ice or snow from garage floor area where garage door closes. If door reverses in fully closed position, adjust the Close Limit. Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete. The need for occasional adjustment of the Limit positions is normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel. 4. Door reverses for no apparent reason and door control button light blinks for 5 seconds after reversing: Check The Protector System (if you have installed this accessory). if the light is blinking, correct alignment.

Replace Light Bulb

Replace light bulb (1) with a 21 watt maximum light bulb. Insert bulb into socket (2) as shown. The light will turn on and remain lit for 2 1/2 minutes when power is connected. After 2 1/2 minutes it will turn off.

5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse to the open position. 6. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will reverse for 1 second. 7. The optional Protector System uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children. Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the opener. The opener light will turn on: 1. when opener is initially plugged in; 2. when the power is interrupted; 3. when the opener is activated. The light turns off automatically after 2-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is 21 Watts maximum.

Having a Problem (cont.)

5. The garage door opens and closes by itself: (Keypad or Code Switch transmitters only) Is there a neighbor with a garage door opener using the same code? Change your code. Make sure remote push button is not stuck in ON position. 6. Door does not close completely: Adjust the Close Limit. Repeat safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, or Close Limit. 7. Door opens but wont close: Check The Protector System (if you have installed this accessory). If the light is blinking, correct alignment. Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete. 8. Opener light does not turn on: Replace light bulb (21 Watts maximum). 9.
