If closing, the door will reverse 3- If opening, the door wiFI stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air) 4o If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close. 5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse. 84 If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will stop 7- If the optional 'infrared Sensor' is installed, the garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when the invisible beam is broken. An open door will not close when beam is broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening cycle. OPENER LIGHT will turn on under the following conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated. It will turn off auto- matically after 4_,_ minutes. Bulb size 75 watts maximum. CARE OF THE OPENER When properly installed, opener will l:_OVide high performance with a minimum of maintenance, The opener does not require additional lubrication. Most complaints of unsatisfactory opener operation can be traced to problems with the door itself. When operated manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED OR BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY FAULTY DOOR HARDWARE. LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments must be checked and progedy set when opener is installed, Only a screwdriver is required. P,_ge 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully. REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADUST- MENT OF FORCE AND/OR LIMITS. Weather conditions may cause'some minor changes in door operation requir- Ing some readjustments, particularly during the first year of operation. THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (See Wpg, 18). GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT ITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR. FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GARAGE DOOR. CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT: After installation of the opener and adjustment of forces and limits, the chain may appear loose. This is normal, To check the chain tension: disconnect the trolley by pulling the red emergengy handle. If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 5 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustmants_ TRANSMITTER: The 3-function transmitter will operate more than one garage door opener, if desired. The push buttons may also be used to operate other 53000 and/or53000SR Series devices. The standard transmitter may be secured to car sun visor with clip provided. Additional transmitters can be purchased at any time_ Refer to Accessories on page 4. Any new transmitters must be set to the same code as the original transmitter and receiver. Page 19 explains how to change your existing code and use the transmitter(s) with other 53000 end,or 53000SR Series receivers_ Self service of your radio controls is not recommended. If service is needed, contact your nearest Sears Service Center. TRANSMITTER BATTERY: The 12 Volt battery should produce power for at least one year.

If closing, the door will reverse 3- If opening, the door wiFI stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air) 4o If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close. 5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse. 84 If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will stop 7- If the optional 'infrared Sensor' is installed, the garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when the invisible beam is broken. An open door will not close when beam is broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening cycle. OPENER LIGHT will turn on under the following conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated. It will turn off auto- matically after 4_,_ minutes. Bulb size 75 watts maximum. CARE OF THE OPENER When properly installed, opener will l:_OVide high performance with a minimum of maintenance, The opener does not require additional lubrication. Most complaints of unsatisfactory opener operation can be traced to problems with the door itself. When operated manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED OR BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY FAULTY DOOR HARDWARE. LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments must be checked and progedy set when opener is installed, Only a screwdriver is required. P,_ge 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully. REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADUST- MENT OF FORCE AND/OR LIMITS. Weather conditions may cause'some minor changes in door operation requir- Ing some readjustments, particularly during the first year of operation. THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (See Wpg, 18). GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT ITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR. FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GARAGE DOOR. CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT: After installation of the opener and adjustment of forces and limits, the chain may appear loose. This is normal, To check the chain tension: disconnect the trolley by pulling the red emergengy handle. If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 5 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustmants_ TRANSMITTER: The 3-function transmitter will operate more than one garage door opener, if desired.
