19. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
To ensure continued safe operation and extended life of your opener system, periodic checking for proper operation is necessary. Occasional maintenance and readjustment of your system may also be needed.
MONTHLY
■Check reversal system by performing “SAFETY REVERSAL TEST” described in this manual.
■Check proper operation of door by
manually moving door open and closed. If door binds or sticks, or is out of balance call for garage door service.
■Check and test photo eye safety system as described in this manual.
ONCE EVERY
YEAR:
■Keep door rollers, hinges,
and bearings properly lubricated by following recommended door instructions or contacting a door service company in your area.
AS NEEDED:
■Readjust opener travel limits and force settings as necessary
—due to cold weather, normal wear of door, etc.
The convenient adjustment instruction label on the opener
can be used for any periodic adjustments needed.
■Check and readjust belt tension, if necessary, in the unlikely event that it loses its proper tension during the life of the opener.
■Always check the reversal system after any adjustment of travel limits or forces. A door opener that is not checked could
possibly be out of adjustment and be dangerous.
