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.

• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage  
door? If not, Model 1702LM Outside Quick Release is  
required. See Accessories page.  
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.  
• 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.  
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS  
• Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling above  
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely  
fastened to structural supports.  
• 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.  
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail  
extension kits listed on Accessories page.  
• Installation Step 10 – Alternate floor mounting of the  
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not  
provided.

Planning (Continued)  
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.  
• 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.

door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural supports of  
the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used if installing any  
brackets into masonry.  
Two representative installations are shown. Yours may  
be different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure  
1) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings (Figure 2  
and Figure 3), attach a sturdy metal bracket to structural  
supports before installing the opener. This bracket and  
fastening hardware are not provided.

INSTALLATION STEP 6  
Install the Door Control  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from  
electrocution:  
• 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.  
Locate the door control within sight of the door at a  
minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children  
cannot reach, and away from all moving parts of the door  
and door hardware.  
1. Strip 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from one end of the bell  
wire. Connect it to the two screw terminals on the back  
of the door control by color: white wire to 2 and  
white/red wire to 1.  
2. Fasten the Lighted Door Control Button securely with  
6ABx1-1/2" screws. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32"  
holes and use the anchors provided.  
3. Run the bell wire up the wall and across the ceiling to  
the opener. Use insulated staples to secure the wire in  
several places. Do not pierce wire with a staple,  
creating a short or open circuit.  
• 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.  
4. Receiver terminal screws and the antenna are located  
on the back panel of the opener. Position the antenna  
wire as shown.

Attach the Emergency Release Rope  
and Handle  
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.  
• 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 emergency release handle unless garage  
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.  
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)  
above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.  
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot  
becomes untied, you could fall.  
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut  
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

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 1/4" (6 mm) of insulation from each set of wires.  
Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to  
connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and  
white/black to 3 (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 terminal connections.  
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.  
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.  
• A broken wire.  
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the  
receiving eye indicator light doesn't:  
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.  
• 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 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 blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not  
installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 21.

Fasten the Door Bracket  
To prevent damage to garage door, reinforce inside of door  
with angle iron both vertically and horizontally.  
Follow instructions which apply to your door type  
as illustrated below or on the following page.  
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long  
enough to be secured to two or three vertical  
supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should  
cover the height of the top panel.  
Header  
Bracket  
Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal  
brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron are  
used to create a U-shaped support. The best solution is  
to check with your garage door manufacturer for an  
opener installation door reinforcement kit.

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  
5 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" (3.8 cm) high 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 30).  
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.  
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.

the door arm (page 26) 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

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" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.  
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  
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"  
Force Adjustment Controls  
(3.8 cm) obstruction. See Adjustment Step 3, page 30.  
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.

• If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle  
and the opener lights aren't flashing, INCREASE  
DOWN (close) force by turning the control clockwise.  
Make small adjustments until the door completes a  
close cycle. After each adjustment, run the opener  
through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the  
force beyond the minimum amount required to close  
the door.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3  
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons  
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED  
or KILLED by a closing 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"  
(3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.  
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, centered under 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 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 26.  
• 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.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:  
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 after:  
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force  
controls.  
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door  
(including springs and hardware).  
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board  
(or a 2x4 laid flat)  
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.  
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

Care of Your Opener  
Having a Problem?  
1. The opener doesn't operate from either the Door  
Control or the remote control:  
LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:  
Weather conditions may cause some  
minor changes in door operation  
requiring some readjustments,  
particularly during the first year of  
operation.  
• Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into  
the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the  
circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by 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. Remove any  
restriction.  
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it  
replaced.

Door Control:  
• Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding,  
call a trained door systems technician.  
• Is the door control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from  
the motor unit terminals. Short the red and white  
terminals by touching both terminals at the same time  
with a piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a  
faulty wire connection at the door control, a short  
under the staples, or a broken wire.  
• Check to be sure door opens & closes fully. Adjust limits  
and/or force if necessary. (See pages 28 and 29.)  
• Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary  
adjustments. (See page 30.)  
Twice a Year  
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation  
Step 6, page 18.  
• Check chain tension. Disconnect trolley first. Adjust if  
necessary (see page 11).  
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but not  
from the remote control:  
Once a Year  
• Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The opener does  
not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the  
door tracks.  
• Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has the  
Lock feature, make sure it is off.  
• Program the opener to match the remote control code.  
(Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat  
with all remotes.  
The Remote Control Battery  
4. The remote control has short range:  
• Change the location of the remote control in your car.  
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:  
• NEVER allow small children near batteries.  
• If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor.  
To reduce risk of fire, explosion or chemical burn:  
• Replace ONLY with 3V2032 coin batteries.  
• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back  
panel of motor unit extends fully downward.  
• Some installations may have shorter range due to a  
metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage  
siding.  
• Do NOT recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F)  
or incinerate.  
5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of  
home:  
The lithium battery should  
produce power for up to 5 years.  
To replace battery, use the visor  
clip or screwdriver blade to pry  
open the case as shown. Insert  
battery positive side up (+).  
• If operational noise is a problem because of proximity  
of the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration

and opener lights blink for 5 seconds after  
reversing:  
Having a Problem? (Continued)  
6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:  
• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.  
• Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any  
obstruction or align the receiving eye. See  
Installation Step 10.  
• Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals  
and operate from the remote only. If this solves 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.  
12. The opener lights don't turn on:  
• Replace the light bulbs (75 watts maximum). Use  
A19 standard neck garage door opener bulb if  
regular bulb burns out.  
• Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.  
7. The door doesn't open completely:  
13. The opener lights don't turn off:  
• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance,  
or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or  
repair the door.  
• Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.  
14. The opener strains or maximum force is  
needed to operate door:  
• If the door is in good working order but now doesn't  
open all the way, increase the up force. See  
Adjustment Step 2.  
• The door may be out of balance or the springs  
may be broken. Close the door and use the  
emergency release handle to disconnect the  
trolley. Open and close the door manually. A  
properly balanced door will stay in any point of  
travel while being supported entirely by its springs.  
If it does not, disconnect the opener and call a  
trained door systems technician. Do not increase  
the force to operate the opener.  
• If the door opens at least 5 feet (1.5 m), the travel  
limits may need to be increased. One turn equals 2" (5  
cm) of travel. See Adjustment Step 1.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is  
complete.  
8. The door stops but doesn't close completely:  
15. The opener motor hums briefly, then won't  
work:  
• Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on  
page 28.  
• The garage door springs may be broken. See  
above.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment  
of door arm length, close force or down limit.  
• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the  
opener, door may be locked. Disable the door lock.  
9. The door opens but won't close:  
• If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing  
sensor. See Installation Step 10.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is  
complete.  
• If the opener lights don’t blink and it is a new  
installation, check the down force. See Adjustment  
Step 2, page 29. For an existing installation, see  
below.  
16. The opener won't operate due to power  
failure:  
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect  
the trolley. The door can be opened and closed  
manually. When power is restored, press the Door  
Control push bar and trolley will automatically  
reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.)  
See page 32.  
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment  
is complete.  
10. The door reverses for no apparent reason and  
opener lights don’t blink:  
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergency  
release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is  
unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems  
technician.  
• The Outside Quick Release accessory (for use on  
garages with no service door) disconnects the  
trolley from outside the garage in case of power  
failure.  
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area  
where the door closes.  
17. The chain droops or sags:  
• It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the  
closed door position. Use the emergency release  
rope and handle to disconnect the trolley. If the  
chain returns to the normal height when the trolley  
is disengaged, and the door reverses on a 2x4 laid  
flat, no adjustments are needed. (See page 11.)  
• 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 force or  
travel limits. The need for occasional adjustment of the  
force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in  
particular can affect door travel.
