- ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid malfunction and damage.
Tools needed
During assembly, installation and adjustment of the opener, instructions will call for hand tools as illustrated below.
Planning
Identify the type and height of your garage door. Survey your garage area to see if any of the conditions below apply to your installation. Additional materials may be required. You may find it helpful to refer back to this page and the accompanying illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener.
Depending on your requirements, there are several installation steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the carton.
- Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.
- Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.
- Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.
- Installation Step 10 – Alternate floor mounting of the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not provided.
- Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, Model 53702 Outside Quick Release is required. See Accessories page.
- Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
- Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (Installation Step 11).
- The opener should be installed above the center of the door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.2 m) to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
- If your door is more than 7 feet (2.1 m) high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS
- Generally, a one-piece door does not require reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, refer to the information relating to sectional doors in Installation Step 11.
- Depending on your door’s construction, you may need additional mounting hardware for the door bracket (Step 11).
WARNING
Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
- The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor MUST NOT exceed 1/4” (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal system may not work properly.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fit into the outlet you have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole in the top of the motor unit:
- Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
- Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
- Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
- Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.
WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
- Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
- Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with all local electrical and building codes.
- NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System®
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye (with an green indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving eyes face each other across the door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
WARNING
Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:
- Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
- Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.
Facing the door from inside the garage
INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Figure 1, 2 and 3 show recommended assembly of bracket(s) and “C” wrap based on the wall installation of the sensors on each side of the garage door as shown on page 20, or on the garage door tracks themselves.
Figure 4 and 5 are variations which may fit your installation requirements better. Make sure the wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors will face each other across the garage door.

HARDWARE SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS
- Slide a 1/4"-20×1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket extension (Figure 6).
- Finger tighten the wing nuts.
- Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.
- Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3 (Figure 7).
Figure 6
Figure 7
ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORS
- Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye green indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required.
- Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust, aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
- Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS
- If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after installation, check for:
- Electric power to the opener.
- A short in the white or white/black wires. These can occur at staples, or at opener connections.
- Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
- A broken wire.
- If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
- Check alignment.
- Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
- If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close. The opener lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 20.
INSTALLATION STEP 11
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type as illustrated below or on the following page.
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured to two vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces of angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support (Figure 1). The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.
HARDWARE SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Installation Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
- Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical centerline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket (Figure 2).
- Position the bracket on the face of the door within the following limits:
- The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door.
- The top edge of the bracket directly below any structural support across the top of the door.
- Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes. Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn’t require vertical reinforcement but does need top and bottom fastening holes for the door bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1 and Figure 2
CAUTION
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket. Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
ONE-PIECE DOORS

- With the door closed, connect the straight door arm section to the door bracket with the 5/16"×1-1/4" clevis pin.
- Secure with a ring fastener.
2. Adjustment procedures, Figure 5:
Figure 5
- On one-piece doors, before connecting the door arm to the trolley, the travel limits must be adjusted. Limit adjustment screws are located on the left side panel as shown on page 27. Follow adjustment procedures below.
- Open door adjustment: decrease UP travel limit
- Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-clockwise 5-1/2 turns.
- Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will travel to the fully open position.
- Manually raise the door to the open position (parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully open trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm does not extend far enough, adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" (5 cm) of trolley travel.
- Closed door adjustment: decrease DOWN travel limit
- Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 5 complete turns.
- Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will travel to the fully closed position.
- Manually close the door and lift the door arm to the trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just ahead of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm is behind the connector hole, adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" (5 cm) of trolley travel.
3. Connect the door arm to the trolley:
- Close the door and join the curved arm to the connector hole in the trolley with the remaining clevis pin. It may be necessary to lift the door slightly to make the connection.
- Secure with a ring fastener.
- Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. If the door has a slight “backward” slant in full open position as shown in the illustration, decrease the UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.
NOTE: When setting the up limit on the following page, the door should not have a “backward” slant when fully open as illustrated below. A slight backward slant will cause unnecessary bucking and/or jerking operation as the door is being opened or closed from the fully open position.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel Limits
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push bar. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
- Does the door open and close completely?
- Does the door stay closed and not reverse unintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails (Adjustment Step 3, page 29).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.
NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and try again.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors), it will reverse.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
If the door does not open completely but opens at least five feet (1.5 m): Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel. NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4" (5-10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.
If door does not open at least 5 feet ( 1.5 m): Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
If the door does not close completely: Increase down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel. If door still won’t close completely and the trolley bumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), try lengthening the door arm (page 25) and decreasing the down limit.
If the opener reverses in fully closed position: Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
if the door reverses when closing and there is no visible interference to travel cycle: If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 22.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding or unbalanced, call for a trained door systems technician. If the door is balanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN (close) force. See Adjustment Step 2.
WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
- Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
- If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.
- After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 2
Adjust the Force
Force adjustment controls are located on the back panel of the motor unit. Force adjustment settings regulate the amount of power required to open and close the door.
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down direction and stops in the up direction. Weather conditions can affect the door movement, so occasional adjustment may be needed.
The maximum force adjustment range is about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors), it will reverse.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES
- Test the DOWN (close) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door should reverse. Reversal halfway through down travel does not guarantee reversal on a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3, page 29.
If the door is hard to hold or doesn’t reverse, DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turning the control counterclockwise. Make small adjustments until the door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and the opener lights aren’t flashing, INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning the control clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door.
- Test the UP (open) force
- Grasp the door bottom when the door is about halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn’t stop, DECREASE UP (open) force by turning the control counterclockwise. Make small adjustments until the door stops easily and opens fully. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
- If the door doesn’t open at least 5 feet (1.5 m), INCREASE UP (open) force by turning the control clockwise. Make small adjustments until door opens completely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
- Too much force on garage door will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
- NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close garage door.
- NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
- If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.
- After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 3
Test the Safety Reversal System
TEST
- With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.
- Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on striking the obstruction.
ADJUST
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position. See the illustration on page 25.
Repeat the test.
When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board, remove the obstruction and run the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 after:
- Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force controls.
- Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door (including springs and hardware).
- Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.
- Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.
WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
- Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
- If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.
- After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on the floor.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 4
Test the Protector System®
- Press the remote control push button to open the door.
- Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
- Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door will not move more than an inch, and the opener lights will flash.
The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.
WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
