Care of Your Opener

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:

Having a Problem?

1. The opener doesn't operate from either the

Door Control or the remote control:

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

Pages 24 and 25 refer to the limit and force adjustments. Only a screwdriver is required. Follow the instructions carefully.

Repeat the safety reverse test (page 26) after any adjustment of limits or force.

• Does the opener have electric power? Plug a

lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the

fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are

controlled by a wall switch.)

• Have you disabled all door locks? Review

installation instruction warnings on page 7.

• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door?

The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove

any restriction.

• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it

replaced.

• Repeated operation may have tripped the

overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes

•Check to be sure door opens & closes fully. Adjust limits and/or force if necessary. (See pages 24 and 25.)

•Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary adjustments. (See page 26.)

Twice a Year

•Check chain tension. Disconnect trolley first. Adjust if necessary (See page 7.)

and try again.

2.Opener operates from the remote, but not from the Door Control:

•Is the door control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the motor unit terminals. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same time with a piece of wire. 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 14.

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.

5.Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

•If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM can be installed. This kit was designed to minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.
