Test the Safety Reverse System

The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door must reverse on
contact with a 40mm obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly adjust
opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door.
Repeat test once a month and adjust as needed.
Procedure: Place a 40mm obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor under the garage door.
Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on the obstruction.
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down
direction. Move Close Limit closer to door.
When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the
opener through a complete travel cycle. Door must not reverse in closed position. If
it does, adjust Limit and repeat safety reverse test.
Place 20kg at the center of the door and ensure that the door will not move up more
than 500mm.

Install Protector System™
(Optional) – (See accessories)
After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System™ accessory
can be installed. Instructions are included with this optional device.
The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a
small child being caught under a garage door.
It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing
door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is strongly recommended
for homeowners with young children.

Program Remotes
Activate the opener only when door is in full view, free of obstruction and
properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave garage while door is in
motion.
Your garage door opener receiver and Remote Control Transmitter are set to a
matching code. If you purchase additional Remote Controls, the garage door opener
must be programmed to accept the new Remote code.
To program receiver to match additional Remote Control codes:
1. Press and release the program button on the side of the unit (1). The green LED
will glow steadily for 30 seconds.
2. Within 30 seconds press and hold the button on the hand-held Remote (2).
3. Release the button when the motor unit light blinks. It has learned the code. If the
light bulb is not installed, two clicks will be hear.
To erase all codes from motor unit memory or to deactivate any unwanted
Remote, first erase all codes:
Press and hold the program button (1) on motor unit until the learn indicator light
goes out (approximately 6 seconds). All previous codes are now erased. Reprogram
each Remote or Keyless Entry you wish to use.

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:
• The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold the push button down until the door starts to
move.
• The Lighted Door Control Button (if you have installed this accessory). Hold the
button down until door starts to move.
• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry System (if you have installed either of these

or closed.

5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse to the open
position.
6. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will reverse for 1 second.
7. The optional Protector System™ uses an invisible beam which, when broken by
an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from
closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children.
Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the opener.
The opener light will turn on: 1. when opener is initially plugged in;
2. when the power is interrupted; 3. when the opener is activated.
The light turns off automatically after 2-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is
21 Watts maximum.

maintenance. The opener does not require additional lubrication.
Limit and Force Adjustments: These adjustments must be checked and properly
set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required to adjust the
limits. Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in the door operation,
requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the first year of operation.
Refer to the Limit and Force Adjustments on page 2. Follow the instructions carefully
and repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment.
Remote Control Transmitter: Additional Remotes can be purchased at any time
for use in all vehicles using garage. Refer to Accessories.The receiver must be
programmed to operate with any new Remote.
Remote Control Battery: The lithium batteries should produce power for up to 5
years. If transmission range lessens, replace battery.
To Change Battery: Insert batteries positive side up. To replace cover, snap shut
along both sides. Do not dispose of the old battery with household waste. Take
batteries to a proper disposal center.

HAVING A PROBLEM?

1. Opener doesn't operate from remote:
• Does the opener have electric power? Plug lamp into outlet. If it doesn't light,
check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall
switch.)
• Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation instruction warning on
page 1.
• Try a new battery.
• If you have two or more remotes and only one operates, review receiver
programming procedures in Step 21.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? The door may be frozen to
ground. Remove any obstruction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it professionally replaced.
2. Remote has short range:
• Is battery installed? Try a new one.
• Change the location of the remote control in the car.
• The metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce the
transmission range.
3. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights don't blink:
• Is something obstruction the door? Pull Manual Release Handle. Operate door
manually. If it is unbalance or binding, call for professional garage door service.
• Reprogram the Force.
• Clear any ice or snow from garage floor area where garage door closes.
• If door reverses in fully closed position, adjust the Close Limit.
Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.
The need for occasional adjustment of the Limit positions is normal. Weather
conditions in particular can affect door travel.
4. Door reverses for no apparent reason and door control button light blinks
for 5 seconds after reversing:
• Check The Protector System™ (if you have installed this accessory). if the light
is blinking, correct alignment.
5. The garage door opens and closes by itself:
• (Keypad or Code Switch transmitters only) Is there a neighbor with a garage
door opener using the same code? Change your code.
• Make sure remote push button is not stuck in ON position.
