IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING —
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Install only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door has the potential to inflict severe
injury. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before
installing the opener.
3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.
4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. For products having an emergency release,
mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet above the floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to
avoid accidental release.
5. Do not connect the opener to source of power until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the control button: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet so small children are not able to
reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the Entrapment Warning Label next to the wall-mount control button in a prominent location. In case the
adhesive does not adhere on the surface, the label should be attached to the surface by mechanical means.
8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2-inch high object (or a 2 by 4 board laid
flat) on the floor.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING —
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with door controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until it is completely closed. NO ONE

red light when it senses the invisible light beam from the
Emitter.
3. If the indication is unsteady, flashes or is dim, check for
any obstructions and adjust the position until the Sensor
gives a STEADY RED LIGHT.
Note: The path of the invisible light beam MUST NOT be
obstructed. No part of the garage door or any
hardware should interfere with the beam or the
Opener will not close the door.
Aligning the Photo Eye Safety System
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
- Power MUST be DISCONNECTED BEFORE proceeding with permanent wiring procedures.
- Garage Door Opener installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with all local electrical and building
codes. Make sure the Opener is ALWAYS grounded.

About Travel Limits
Limit Adjustments regulate the position at which the door will
stop when opening and closing.
BEFORE making any adjustments, operate the door by using
the Push Button or Remote Control. Run the Opener through a
complete cycle.
If the door opens and closes completely without unintended
reversing upon closing — NO adjustment is necessary.
If the door does not open or close at desired positions, proceed
with the instructions below to adjust the travel limits.
Adjusting Travel Limits
Open and Close Limits can be increased (+) or decreased (-) by
turning the corresponding screws on the Opener. Use a “flat
head” screwdriver to make adjustments. One full turn of the
screw is about 2” (5cm) of actual travel.
NOTE: The Opener motor includes an automatic thermal
protection system which will shut down the motor in an overheat
situation. The thermal protector will reset itself once the motor
cools down. Opening and closing the Opener multiple times (in
a short period of time) may cause the motor to overheat and
shut down. If this happens, wait about 15 minutes for the motor
to cool and retry operation.
Setting OPEN (UP) Travel Limit
1. CLOSE the garage door by using either the Remote
Control or Push Button.
2. Adjust the OPEN Limit Screw.
3. OPEN garage door and check for proper adjustment.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the door opens to the desired
position. When the door is in the open position, make sure
there is enough clearance for your vehicle(s), and there is
a minimum 2“ (5cm) gap between Trolley and Stop Bolt.
5. Perform Safety Reverse Test on page 19.
If the door does not open past 5 feet (1.5m), follow Force
Adjustment on page 18 to adjust the Open Force.
Setting CLOSE (DOWN) Travel Limit
1. OPEN the garage door by using either the Remote Control
or Push Button.
2. Adjust the CLOSE Limit Screw.
3. CLOSE the garage door and check for proper adjustment.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until door closes to the desired position.
5. Perform Safety Reverse Test on page 19.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from improper Force Adjustment:
- Improper adjustment of travel limits will cause operation of safety reversal mechanism.
- If Travel limit adjustment is made, Force Adjustment may also needed.
- After ANY adjustments, the Safety Reverse Test MUST be performed to ensure the door reverses on
contact with a 1-1/2” thick object (2x4 laid flat).
If the door reverses unintentionally
during closing, check below symptoms:
1. The Photo Eye System may be improperly
connected, misaligned or obstructed The
courtesy light will flash continuously for 30
seconds. Refer to Troubleshooting on P.22.
2. Binding door — Disconnect the door from the
Opener by using the Emergency Release
Handle. Open and close the door manually
and check the following steps.
2.1 If the door is balanced, refer to “Force
Adjustment” to adjust Close force.
2.2 If the door is unbalanced, binding or
jammed, call a trained service person to
adjust the door.

Adjusting Force
1. Force Adjustment controls are located on the rear panel of
the Opener. The force adjustments regulate the amount of
force required to open or close the door.
2. Force Adjustment is applied only to compensate for the minor
resistance caused by weather or other means.
 Note: Force is preset at level 6 for both Open and Close
adjustments. The size and operating conditions of the
garage door will determine the correct level of Force/
Sensitivity. Weather conditions may also affect the operation
of the door requiring further adjustments as needed.
 Note: If the close force is set too light the Opener will reverse
the door during closing. If the open force is set too light the
Opener will stop the door during opening.
 Note: There are 12 levels for open and close force settings.
When either the maximum or minimum level is reached, the
light will flash 6 times.
 Never adjust the force setting by more than 1 level (1 press)
at a time.
Setting Force
Setting Close Force
1. If the door completes a full close cycle without reversing,
decrease (-) the Close Force by 1 level at a time until the
door reverses. If the door reverses during closing, increase
(+) Close Force by 1 increment. The Close Force is now
properly adjusted.
2. During the ”door-close” cycle, the Opener will reverse if the
force required to close the door is exceeded.
Setting Open Force
1. If the door completes a full open cycle without stopping,
decrease (-) the amount of force by 1 level until the door
stops during the opening. Once the door stops during
opening, increase (+) Open Force by 1 increment. The Close
Force is now properly adjusted.
2. During the “door-open” cycle the Opener will stop if the force
required to open the door is exceeded.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from improper Force Adjustment:
- DO NOT adjust force to compensate for binding or sticking of the garage door. Call a qualified garage
door service technician to make necessary adjustments in case of binding.
- DO NOT increase the force beyond minimum force required for closing the door. Too much force will cause
improper operation of safety reversal mechanism.
- If either the Force or Travel limit adjustment is made, the other adjustment may also needed.
- After ANY adjustments, the Safety Reverse Test MUST be performed to ensure the door reverses on
contact with a 1-1/2” thick object (2x4 laid flat) .
For safe operation, the force setting should
always be set at the MINIMUM FORCE
required to run the door.
