Using the Wall-Mounted Door Control

CARE OF YOUR OPENER

Press the push button to open or close the door. Press again to reverse the door during the closing cycle or to stop the door while it’s opening.

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.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:

Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in door operation requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the first year of operation.

Pages 20 and 21 refer to the limit and force adjustments. Only a screwdriver is required. Follow the instructions carefully.

Repeat the safety reverse test (Adjustment Step 3, page 22) after any adjustment of limits or force.

FORCE CONTROLS

LIMIT CONTROLS

The door should be fully closed if possible. Pull down on the emergency release handle and lift the door manually. To reconnect the door to the opener, press the door control push bar.

The lockout feature prevents the trolley from reconnecting automatically. Pull the emergency release handle down and back (toward the opener). 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.
