Symptom: One or both of the Indicator lights on the safety sensors do
not glow steady.
• Inspect sensor wires for a short (staple in wire), correct wiring polarity
(biack/white wires reversed), broken or disconnected wires, replace/attach
as needed.
• Disconnect all wires from back of motor unit.
• Remove sensors from brackets and shorten sensor wires to 1 -2 ft (30-60 cm)
from back each of sensor.
