To Open the Door Manually
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:
•If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
•NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
•NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

The door can then be raised and lowered manually as often as necessary. To disengage the lockout feature, pull the handle straight down. The trolley will reconnect on the next UP or DOWN operation, either manually or by using the door control or remote.

Repeat the safety reverse test (Adjustment Step 3, page 22) after any adjustment of limits or force.
2.Opener operates from the remote, but not from the Door Control:
•Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.
•Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation Step 6, page 12.
3.The door operates from the Door Control, but not from the remote control:
•Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has the Lock feature, make sure it is off.
•Program the opener to match the remote control code. (Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat with all remotes.
4. The remote control has short range:
•Change the location of the remote control in your car.
•Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of motor unit extends fully downward.
•Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.
