Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Disable locks.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage
door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door may not reverse when required.
• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
• Complete the following test to make sure your
garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, all of
which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to
garage door BEFORE installing and operating garage door
opener to avoid entanglement.
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.
To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the
opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid
malfunction and damage.

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.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 7702CB Emergency Key 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.
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.
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).
• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• 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 (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
• 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.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.

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.
• 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).
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate
the gap.

ASSEMBLY STEP 1
Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley
To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers
away from the joints while assembling the rail.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
garage door opener until instructed to do so.
The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end (see
illustration). The hole above this window is larger on
the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-
1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the
back rail so it has a similar hole close to the opposite
edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the far end.
3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the
cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top. For
convenience, put a support under the front end of the
rail.
4. As a temporary trolley stop, insert a screwdriver into the
hole 10" (25 cm) away from the front of the rail, as
shown.
1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging bracket
packaged inside the front rail and set aside for
Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To prevent INJURY
while unpacking the rail carefully remove the straight
door arm stored within the rail section.
5. Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside
the inner trolley. If they became loose during shipping,
check all packing material. Snap them back into position
as shown.
2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface as shown and
slide the tapered ends into the larger ones. Tabs along
the side will lock into place.
6. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the back
end to the screwdriver.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
Locate door control within sight of door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot
reach, and away from moving parts of door and door
hardware. The installation surface must be smooth and
flat. If installing into drywall (Figure 1), drill 5/32" holes
and use anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as
in new home construction), it may be mounted to a single
gang box (Figure 2). NOTE: After installation, a green or
amber indicator light behind the cover will indicate proper
connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will not
function (reverse wires to correct).
• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door
control.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach
of children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m), and away
from all moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control
push buttons or remote control transmitters.
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of
door control by color: white wire to WHT and white/red
wire to the RED (Figure 3).
2. Remove cover by gently prying on a side corner near
the top of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver
(Figure 4). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws
(drywall installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (into
gang box) as follows:
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly
adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed.
NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

Electrical Requirements
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.
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.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System
®
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.
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 amber 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.
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 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 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.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use
insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to
connect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist
like colored wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and white/black to
grey (Figure 6).
1. 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.
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
receiving eye indicator light doesn't:
• Check alignment.
The sending eye orange 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.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. 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. See page 20.
• 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.

• 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.
- 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 3" (7.5 cm) of trolley travel.
• Open door adjustment: decrease UP travel limit
- Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-clockwise
4 turns.
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.
- 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 3" (7.5 cm) of trolley travel.
• 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.
• Closed door adjustment: decrease DOWN travel
limit
- Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise
4 complete turns.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel Limits
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.
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.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
control may also need adjustment.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system
MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2"
high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
• 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.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequate clearance.
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.
Cover Protection Bolt
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward

(5 cm - 10 cm) between the trolley and the bolt.
• If door does not open at least 5 feet (1.5 m):
ADJUSTMENT LABEL
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment
Step 2.
• If the door does not close completely:
• If the door reverses when closing and there is no
visible interference to travel cycle:
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 3" (7.5 cm) of
travel.
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or
obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 22.
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.
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.
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 3" (7.5 cm) of travel.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2
Adjust the Force
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"
high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
Force adjustment controls are located on the right 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
1. 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.

through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the
force beyond the minimum amount required to close

door is hard to hold or doesn't stop, DECREASE
UP (open) force by turning the control
counterclockwise. Make small adjustments until the

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3
Test the Safety Reversal System
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage door.
TEST
• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
control may also need adjustment.
• With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board
(or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the
garage door.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system
MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2"
high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.
• 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.
• If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call
for a trained door systems technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Test the Safety Reverse System after:
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force
controls.
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board
(or a 2x4 laid flat)
• 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.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 4
Test The Protector System
®
Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage door.
• 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 (2.5 cm), 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.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY FOR
BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY EXCEED THE COST OF THE
