Tighten The Chain - LiftMaster 8010 Installation

Assembly

2 Tighten the Chain

1. Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley threaded shaft, away from the trolley.
2. To tighten the chain, turn the outer nut in the direction shown.
3. When the chain is approximately 1/4" (6 mm) above the base of the rail at it's midpoint, re-
tighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment.
Sprocket noise can result if the chain is too loose or too tight. When installation is complete, you may
notice some chain droop with the door closed. This is normal. If the chain returns to the position shown
when the door is open, do not re-adjust the chain.
NOTE: During future maintenance, ALWAYS pull the emergency release handle to disconnect the
trolley before adjusting the chain.
