You may find it helpful torefer back to this page and the accompanyingillustrations as you proceed with the installation ofyour opener.

    Depending on your requirements, there are severalinstallation steps which may call for materials orhardware not included in the carton.

    Installation Step 1 Look at the wall or ceilingabove the garage door. The header bracket mustbe securely fastened to structural supports.

    Installation Step 5 Do you have a finished ceilingin your garage? If so, a support bracket andadditional fastening hardware may be required.

    Installation Step 10 Depending upon garageconstruction, extension brackets or wood blocksmay be needed to install sensors.

    Installation Step 10 Alternate floor mounting ofthe safety reversing sensor will require hardwarenot provided.

    Do you have an access door in addition to thegarage door? If not, Model 1702LM Outside QuickRelease is required. See Accessories page.

    Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.Any gap between the floor and the bottom of thedoor must not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, thesafety reversal system may not work properly. SeeAdjustment Step 3. Floor or door should berepaired.

    SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS

    Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glasspanel door? If so, horizontal and verticalreinforcement is required (Installation Step 11).

    The opener should be installed above the center ofthe door. If there is a torsion spring or centerbearing plate in the way of the header bracket, itmay be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left orright of the door center. See Installation Steps 1and 11.

    INSTALLATION STEP 1

    Determine the Header Bracket

    Location

    Installation procedures vary according to garage doortypes. Follow the instructions which apply to yourdoor.

    SECTIONAL DOOR AND ONE-PIECE DOORWITH TRACK

    1. Close the door and mark the inside verticalcenterline of the garage door.

    2. Extend the line onto the header wall abovethe door.

    You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet(1.2 m) of the left or right of the door center

    only if a torsion spring or center bearing plateis in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling(see page 14) when clearance is minimal.(It may be mounted on the wall upside down ifnecessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm)).

    If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports asshown here and on page 13.

    3. Open your door to the highest point of travel asshown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on theheader wall 2" (5 cm) above the high point. Thisheight will provide travel clearance for the top edge

    of the door.

    Proceed to Step 2, page 14.One-piecedoor withhorizontal

    track

    To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

    Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to

    structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwisegarage door might NOT reverse when required. DONOT install header bracket over drywall.

    Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting headerbracket or 2x4 into masonry.

    NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.

    Electrical Requirements

    To avoid installation difficulties, do not run theopener at this time.

    To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garagedoor opener has a grounding type plug with a thirdgrounding pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype outlet. If the plug doesnt fit into the outlet you

    have, contact a qualified electrician to install theproper outlet.

    If permanent wiring is required by your localcode, 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 thecover aside.

    Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

    Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on thebrass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to thescrew on the silver terminal; and the ground wireto the green ground screw. The opener must begrounded.

    Reinstall the cover.

    To avoid installation difficulties, do not run theopener at this time.

    To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH fromelectrocution or fire:

    Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, anddisconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover toestablish permanent wiring connection.

    Garage door installation and wiring MUST be incompliance with ALL local electrical and building

    codes. NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or

    INSTALLATION STEP 10

    Install The Protector System

    The safety reversing sensor must be connectedand aligned correctly before the garage dooropener will move in the down direction.

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUTTHE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

    When properly connected and aligned, the sensorwill detect an obstacle in the path of its electronicbeam. The sending eye (with an amber indicatorlight) transmits an invisible light beam to thereceiving eye (with a green indicator light). If anobstruction breaks the light beam while the door isclosing, the door will stop and reverse to full openposition, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.

    The units must be installed inside the garage so thatthe sending and receiving eyes face each otheracross the door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above thefloor. Either can be installed on the left or right of thedoor as long as the sun never shines directly into the

    receiving eye lens.The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto thetrack of sectional garage doors without additionalhardware.

    If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, thebrackets must be securely fastened to a solidsurface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets(see accessories) are available if needed. If installingin masonry construction, add a piece of wood ateach location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonryif 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 thebeam while the door is closing.

    Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage dooropener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

    To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closinggarage door:

    Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This required safety device MUST NOT bedisabled.

    Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NOHIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

    INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

    Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.Install and align the brackets so the sensors will faceeach other across the garage door, with the beam nohigher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may beinstalled in one of three ways, as follows.

    Garage door track installation (preferred):

    Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge ofeach door track, with the curved arms facing the

    door. Snap into place against the side of the track.It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the backedge of the track, as shown in Figure 1.

    If your door track will not support the bracketsecurely, wall installation is recommended.

    Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3):

    Place the bracket against the wall with curvedarms facing the door. Be sure there is enoughclearance for the sensor beam to be unobstructed.

    If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket(see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.

    Use bracket mounting holes as a template tolocate and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes onthe wall at each side of the door, no higher than 6"(15 cm) above the floor.

    Attach brackets to wall with lag screws(not provided).

    If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjustright and left assemblies to the same distance outfrom the mounting surface. Make sure all doorhardware obstructions are cleared.

    Floor installation (Figure 4):

    Use wood blocks or extension brackets (seeAccessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the

    lenses will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above thefloor.

    Carefully measure and place right and leftassemblies at the same distance out from the wall.Be sure all door hardware obstructions arecleared.

    Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors asshown.

    Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the sloton each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors tobrackets, with lenses pointing toward each otheracross the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructedby a bracket extension (Figure 5).

    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 wiressufficiently to connect to the opener terminalscrews: white to 2 and white/black to 3 (Figure 6).

    ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

    Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both thesending and receiving eyes will glow steadilyifwiring connections and alignment are correct.

    The sending eye amber indicator light will glowregardless of alignment or obstruction. If the greenindicator light in the receiving eyeis off, dim, orflickering (and the invisible light beam path is notobstructed), 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 adjustsensor until it receives the senders beam. Whenthe green indicator light glows steadily, tighten thewing nut.

    TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSINGSENSORS

    1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glowsteadily after installation, check for:

    Electric power to the opener.

    A short in the white or white/black wires. Thesecan occur at staples, or at terminal connections.

    Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.

    A broken wire.

    2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily butthe receiving eye indicator light doesnt:

    Check alignment.

    Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.

    3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realigneither sensor.

    NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructedor misaligned while the door is closing, the door willreverse. If the door is already open, it will not close.The opener lights will blink 10 times. (If bulbs are notinstalled, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 21.

    INSTALLATION STEP 11

    Fasten the Door Bracket

    Follow instructions which apply to your door typeas illustrated below or on the following page.

    A horizontal reinforcement brace should be longenough to be secured to two or three verticalsupports. A vertical reinforcement brace should

    cover the height of the top panel.Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as thehorizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces ofangle iron are used to create a U-shaped support.The best solution is to check with your garage doormanufacturer for an opener installation doorreinforcement kit.

    NOTE:Many door reinforcement kits provide fordirect attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. Inthis case you will not need the door bracket; proceedto Step 12.

    SECTIONAL DOORS

    1. Center the door bracket on the previously markedvertical centerline used for the header bracketinstallation. Note correct UP placement, asstamped inside the bracket.

    2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4"(5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, ORdirectly below any structural support across thetop of the door.

    3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, dependingon your doors construction:

    Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angleiron brace between the door panel support andthe door bracket:

    Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracketusing the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws(Figure 2A).

    Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers andnuts (not provided) (Figure 2B).

    Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforceddoors:

    Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracketusing the self-threading screws (Figure 3).

    2. Adjustment procedures, Figure 6:

    On one-piece doors, before connecting the doorarm to the trolley, the travel limits must beadjusted. Limit adjustment screws are located onthe left side panel as shown on page 28. Followadjustment procedures below.

    Open door adjustment: decrease UPtravel 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 thetrolley. The arm should touch the trolley just inback of the door arm connector hole. Refer tothe fully open trolley/door arm positions in theillustration. If the arm does not extend farenough, adjust the limit further. One full turnequals 2" (5 cm) of trolley travel.

    Closed door adjustment: decrease DOWNtravel limit

    - Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screwclockwise 5 complete turns.

    ADJUSTMENT STEP 1

    Adjust the UP and DOWN TravelLimits

    Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at whichthe door will stop when moving up or down.

    To operate the opener, press the Door Control pushbar. 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 limitadjustments are necessary unless the reversing testfails (Adjustment Step 3, page 30).

    Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read theprocedures carefully before proceeding toAdjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limitadjustments. Run the opener through a completetravel cycle after each adjustment.

    NOTE:Repeated operation of the opener during

    adjustment procedures may cause the motor tooverheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes andtry again.

    NOTE:If anything interferes with the doors upwardtravel, it will stop. If anything interferes with thedoors downward travel (including binding orunbalanced doors), it will reverse.

    HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS

    If the door does not open completely but opensat least 5 feet (1.5 m):

    Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustmentscrew clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) oftravel.

    NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the coverprotection 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 inAdjustment Step 2.

    If the door does not close completely:

    Increase down travel. Turn the down limitadjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn

    equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.If door still wont close completely and the trolleybumps into the pulley bracket (page 4), trylengthening the door arm (page 26) anddecreasing the down limit.

    If the opener reverses in fully closed position:

    Decrease down travel. Turn the down limitadjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2"(5 cm) of travel.

    Without a properly installed safety reversal system,persons (particularly small children) could beSERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garagedoor.

    Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits willinterfere with proper operation of safety reversalsystem.

    If one control (force or travel l imits) is adjusted, theother control may also need adjustment.

    After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversalsystem MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse oncontact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laidflat) on floor.

    If the door reverses when closing and there isno visible interference to travel cycle:

    If the opener lights are flashing, the SafetyReversing Sensors are either not installed,

    misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,page 23.

    Test the door for binding: Pull the emergencyrelease handle. Manually open and close the door.If the door is binding or unbalanced, call for atrained door systems technician. If the door isbalanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN(close) force. See Adjustment Step 2.

    ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

    Adjust the Force

    Force adjustment controls are located on the backpanel of the motor unit. Force adjustment settingsregulate the amount of power required to open andclose the door.

    If the forces are set too light, door travel may be

    interrupted by nuisance reversals in the downdirection and stops in the up direction. Weatherconditions can affect the door movement, sooccasional adjustment may be needed.

    The maximum force adjustment range is about3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controlsbeyond that point. Turn force adjustment controlswith a screwdriver.

    NOTE:If anything interferes with the doors upwardtravel, it will stop. If anything interferes with thedoors downward travel (including binding orunbalanced doors), it will reverse.

    HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES

    1. Test the DOWN (close) force

    Grasp the door bottom when the door is abouthalfway through DOWN (close) travel. The doorshould reverse. Reversal halfway through downtravel does not guarantee reversal on a 1-1/2"(3.8 cm) obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3,page 30.If the door is hard to hold or doesnt reverse,DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turningthe control counterclockwise. Make smalladjustments until the door reverses normally. After

    each adjustment, run the opener through acomplete cycle.

    If the door reverses during the down (close)cycle and the opener lights arent flashing,INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning thecontrol clockwise. Make small adjustments until thedoor completes a close cycle. After eachadjustment, run the opener through a completetravel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond theminimum amount required to close the door.

    2. Test the UP (open) force

    Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

    halfway through UP (open) travel. The door shouldstop. If the door is hard to hold or doesnt stop,DECREASE UP (open) force by turning the controlcounterclockwise. Make small adjustments until thedoor stops easily and opens fully. After eachadjustment, run the opener through a completetravel cycle.

    If the door doesnt open at least 5 feet (1.5 m),INCREASE UP (open) force by turning the controlclockwise. Make small adjustments until dooropens completely. Readjust the UP limit ifnecessary. After each adjustment, run the openerthrough a complete travel cycle.

    Without a properly installed safety reversal system,persons (particularly small children) could beSERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garagedoor.

    Too much force on garage door will interfere withproper 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, theother control may also need adjustment.

    After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversalsystem MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse oncontact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4laid flat) on floor.

    After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversalsystem MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse oncontact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laidflat) on the 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 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centeredunder 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 nottraveling far enough in the down direction.Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWNlimit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

    NOTE:On a sectional door, make sure limitadjustments do not force the door arm beyond astraight up and down position. See the illustrationon page 28.

    Repeat the test.

    When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm)board, remove the obstruction and run the openerthrough 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to testadjustment.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:

    Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 after:

    Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, orforce controls.

    Pages 28 and 29 refer to the

    limit and force adjustments.Only a screwdriver is required.Follow the instructions carefully.

    Repeat the safety reverse test(page 30) after any adjustmentof limits or force.

    MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

    Once a Month

    Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced orbinding, call a trained door systems technician.

    Check to be sure door opens & closes fully. Adjust

    limits and/or force if necessary (See pages 28and 29).

    Repeat the safety reverse test. Make anynecessary adjustments (See page 30).

    Twice a Year

    Check chain tension. Disconnect trolley first. Adjustif necessary (see page 11).

    Once a Year

    Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The openerdoes not require additional lubrication. Do notgrease the door tracks.

    THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

    The lithium battery shouldproduce power for up to5 years. To replace battery, usethe visor clip or screwdriverblade to pry open the case asshown. Insert battery positiveside up.

    Dispose of old battery properly.

    Having a Problem?

    1. The opener does not operate from either theDoor Control or the remote control:

    Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lampinto the outlet. If it doesnt light, check the fuse boxor the circuit breaker (Some outlets are controlledby a wall switch).

    Have you disabled all door locks? Review

    installation instruction warnings on page 11. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door?

    The door may be frozen to the ground. Removeany restriction.

    The garage door spring may be broken. Have itreplaced.

    Repeated operation may have tripped theoverload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutesand try again.

    2. Opener operates from the remote, but not fromthe Door Control:

    Is the door control lit? If not, remove the bell wire

    from the motor unit terminals. Short the red andwhite terminals by touching both terminals at thesame time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs,check for a faulty wire connection at the doorcontrol, a short under the staples, or a brokenwire.

    Are the wiring connections correct? ReviewInstallation Step 6, page 18.

    3. The door operates from the Door Control, butnot from the remote control:

    Is the door push bar flashing? If your model hasthe Lock feature, make sure it is off.

    Program the opener to match the remote controlcode. (Refer to instructions on the motor unitpanel) Repeat with all remotes.

    4. The remote control has short range:

    Change the location of the remote control inyour car.

    Check to be sure the antenna on the side or backpanel of motor unit extends fully downward.

    Some installations may have shorter range due toa metal door, foil backed insulation, or metalgarage siding.

    5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of

    home: If operational noise is a problem because of

    proximity of the opener to the living quarters, theVibration Isolator Kit 89LM can be installed. Thiskit was designed to minimize vibration to the houseand is easy to install.

    6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:

    Be sure that all remote control push buttons areoff.

    Remove the bell wire from the door controlterminals and operate from the remote only. If thissolves the problem, the door control is faulty(replace), or there is an intermittent short on the

    wire between the door control and the motor unit. Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.

    7. The door does not open completely:

    Is something obstructing the door? Is it out ofbalance, or are the springs broken? Remove theobstruction or repair the door.

    If the door is in good working order but nowdoesn't open all the way, increase the up force.See Adjustment Step 2.

    If the door opens at least 5 feet (1.5 m), the travellimits may need to be increased. One turn equals2" (5 cm) of travel. See Adjustment Step 1.

    Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment iscomplete.

    8. The door stops but does not close completely:

    Review the travel limits adjustment procedures onpage 28.

    Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustmentof door arm length, close force or down limit.

    9. The door opens but will not close:

    If the opener lights blink, check the safetyreversing sensor. See Installation Step 10.

    If the opener lights dont blink and it is a new

    installation, check the down force. See AdjustmentStep 2, page 29. For an existing installation, seebelow.

    Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustmentis complete.

    10. The door reverses for no apparent reason andopener lights do not blink:

    Is something obstructing the door? Pull theemergency release handle. Operate the doormanually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call atrained door systems technician.

    Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor areawhere the door closes.

    Review Adjustment Step 2 on page 29.

    If door reverses in the fully closed position,decrease the travel limits (Adjustment Step 1).

    Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to forceor travel limits. The need for occasional adjustmentof the force and limit settings is normal. Weatherconditions in particular can affect door travel.

    11. The door reverses for no apparent reason andopener lights blink for 5 seconds afterreversing:

    Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove anyobstruction or align the receiving eye. SeeInstallation Step 10.
