If closed, the door will open. 2. If closing, the door will reverse. 3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air). 4. 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. 6. 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 LIGHTS will turn on under the following conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated. They will turn off automatically after 41/2 minutes or provide constant light when Light Feature is activated. Bulb size 75 watts maximum. CARE OF THE OPENER When properly installed, opener will provide 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 properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required. Page 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully. REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADJUST- 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 pg. 18).

UNOBSTRUCTED. USING THE OPENER Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices: 1. The 3_Function Transmitter. Hold LARGE push button down until the door starts to move. 2. The Wall Control. Hold push bar down until the door starts to move. 3, The Key Switch or Touch Code Transmitter accessories. Described on page 4. OPENING THE DOOR MANUALLY THE DOOR SHOULD BE FULLY CLOSED IF POSSIBLE. WEAK OR BROKEN SPRINGS COULD ALLOW AN OPEN DOOR TO FALL RAPIDLY. PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. DO NOT USE EMERGENCY HANDLE TO PULL DOOR OPEN OR CLOSED. The door can be operated manually by disconnecting it from the opener. Pull down sharply on the red emergency release handle and lift the door manually. To automatically reconnect the door to the opener, press the Wait Control push bar. LOCKOUT FEATURE: prevents trolley from reconnecting automatically. If you need to use this feature, pull emergency handle down and back (toward the opener). Trolley will remain "Locked-Out" and door can be raised and lowered manually. To reconnect trolley, pull emergency handle straight down. WHEN OPENER IS ACTIVATED: 1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open. 2. If closing, the door will reverse. 3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air). 4. 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. 6. 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 LIGHTS will turn on under the following conditions: when the opener is initially plugged in; when the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated. They will turn off automatically after 41/2 minutes or provide constant light when Light Feature is activated. Bulb size 75 watts maximum. CARE OF THE OPENER When properly installed, opener will provide 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 properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required. Page 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully. REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADJUST- 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 pg. 18). GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT WITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR. FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING GA R._.GE 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 emergency handle. If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated in Step 5 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustments.
