Preparing your garage door  
WARNING  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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:  
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.  
CAUTION  
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 12).  
• Installation Step 4 – Depending upon garage  
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks  
may be needed to install sensors.  
• 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 (1.2 m) to the left or  
right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1  
and 12.  
• Installation Step 4 – Alternate floor mounting of the  
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not  
provided.  
• Installation Step 6 – Do you have a finished ceiling  
in your garage? If so, a support bracket and  
additional fastening hardware may be required.  
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.1 m) high, see  
rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

WARNING  
ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS  
Without a properly working safety reversal system,  
persons (particularly small children) could be  
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage  
door.  
• 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 12.  
• 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.  
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to  
eliminate the gap.  
• Depending on your door’s construction, you may  
need additional mounting hardware for the door  
bracket (Step 12).

ASSEMBLY STEP 1  
CAUTION  
To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and  
fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.  
Assemble the Rail  
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the  
garage door opener until instructed to do so.  
1. Turn the opened rail carton upside down and  
empty its contents onto a level work surface.  
2. Unfold the rails, taking care to avoid kinking the  
screw rod joint.  
3. Rotate the rail sections so that the flat side is down  
and the screw side is up for all three lengths. Keep  
it clean and free of debris while you are working.

INSTALLATION STEP 4  
WARNING  
®
Install The Protector System  
Be sure power is not connected to the garage door  
opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.  
The safety reversing sensor must be connected  
and aligned correctly before the garage door  
opener will move in the down direction.  
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.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT  
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR  
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO  
HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.  
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.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS  
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.  
Install and align the brackets so the sensors will face  
each other across the garage door, with the beam no  
higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may be  
installed in one of three ways, as follows.

WARNING  
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.  
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the  
top of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side  
up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot at  
least 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to  
prevent slipping.  
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole  
in the release arm of the outer trolley.  
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope  
knot becomes untied, you could fall.  
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)  
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle  
clear the tops of all vehicles to avoid  
Trolley  
entanglement. Secure with an overhand knot.  
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal  
the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent  
unraveling.

WARNING  
Electrical Requirements  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from  
electrocution or fire:  
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the  
opener until Step 9 below.  
• 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 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.  
PERMANENT WIRING

INSTALLATION STEP 11  
Complete the Safety Reversing  
Sensor Installation  
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING  
SENSORS  
1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow  
steadily after installation, check for:  
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS  
• 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.  
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the  
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if  
wiring connections and alignment are correct.  
The sending eye amber 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:  
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but  
the receiving eye indicator light doesn't:  
• Check alignment.  
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.  
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust,  
aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.  
3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign  
either sensor.  
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust the  
sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When  
the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the  
wing nut.  
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 flash 10 times. (See page 15.)

2. Adjustment procedures, Figure 5:  
• 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  
2" (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 2" (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  
WARNING  
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.  
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the  
other control may also need adjustment.  
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel  
Limits  
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.  
• Does the door open and close completely?  
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse  
unintentionally when fully closed?  
• 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.  
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.  
CAUTION  
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.  
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.

• If the door does not close completely:  
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit  
adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn  
equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.  
• If the door reverses when closing and there is  
no visible interference to travel cycle:  
If door still won't close completely try lengthening  
the door arm (page 25) and decreasing the down  
limit.  
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety  
Reversing Sensors are either not installed,  
misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,  
page 22.  
• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:  
Decrease down travel. Turn the down limit  
adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2"  
(5 cm) of travel.  
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.

WARNING  
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.  
ADJUSTMENT STEP 2  
Adjust the Force  
Force adjustment controls are located on the back  
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  
Force Adjustment  
Controls  
1. Test the DOWN (close) force  
Back Panel  
• 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.

doesn't stop, DECREASE UP (open) force by  
turning the control counterclockwise. Make small  
adjustments until the door stops easily and opens  
fully. After each adjustment, run the opener  
through a complete travel cycle.  
• If the door doesn’t open at least 5 feet (1.5 m),  
INCREASE UP (open) force by turning the  
control clockwise. Make small adjustments until  
door opens completely. Readjust the UP limit if  
necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener  
through a complete travel cycle.

WARNING  
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  
• 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.  
• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.  
• 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 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.  
WARNING
