CARE OF YOUR OPENER
LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:
Weather conditions may
cause some minor changes
in door operation requiring
some re-adjustments,
particularly during the fi rst
year of operation.
Pages 24 and 25 refer to the
limit and force adjustments.
Only a screwdriver is
required. Follow the instructions carefully.
Repeat the safety reverse test (Adjustment Step 3,
page 26) after any adjustment of limits or force.
To Open the Door Manually
The door should be fully
closed if possible. Pull
down on the emergency
release handle and lift
the door manually. To
reconnect the door to the
opener, press the door
control push bar.
The lockout feature
prevents the trolley
from reconnecting
automatically. Pull the
emergency release handle
down and back (toward
the opener). The door
can then be raised and
lowered manually as
often as necessary. To
disengage the lockout
feature, pull the handle
straight down. The trolley
will reconnect on the next UP or DOWN operation, either
manually or by using the door control or remote.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
a falling garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to
disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced
door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/
or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If
rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Every Month
• Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call
a trained door systems technician.
• Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Adjust
limits and/or force if necessary. (See pages 24 and 25.)
• Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary
adjustments. (See Adjustment Step 3.)
Every Year
• Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The opener does
not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door
tracks.
Every Three to Four Years
• Use a rag to wipe away the existing grease from the
garage door opener rail. Reapply a small layer of white
lithium grease to the rail.
