Sears 139.18847 - Manual (Page 11)

• Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the
threaded shaft, away from the trolley.
• To tighten the chain, turn outer nut in the direction
shown. As you turn the nut, keep the chain
from twisting.
• When the chain is approximately 1/2" above the
base of the T-rail at its midpoint, re-tighten the
inner nut to secure the adjustment.
Sprocket noise can result if chain is either too
loose or too tight.
When installation is complete, you may notice some
chain droop with the door closed. This is normal. If
the chain returns to the position shown when the
door is open,
do not re-adjust the chain.
NOTE: During future maintenance, ALWAYS
pull the emergency release handle to disconnect
trolley before adjusting chain.

may not reverse and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies
and other hardware must be made by a professional service person before installing opener.

5. Do not connect the opener to power source until instructed to do so.
6. Locate the Door Control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small
children cannot reach and away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the User Safety Instruction Label on the wall adjacent to the door control and the
Maintenance Instruction Label in a prominent location on the inside of the garage door.
8. Upon completion of the installation, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a
one-inch high object or a 2x4 laid flat on the floor.
9. Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing an opener. Jewelry or
loose clothing can be caught in the mechanism of the garage door or the opener.
