MAINTENANCE OF YOUR OPENER SYSTEM
Test door opener monthly. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 1 inch high solid test ob-
ject on the floor. If adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door opener. Failure to ad-
just the opener properly may cause severe injury of death.
KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See owner’s manual. An improperly balanced door
could cause severe injury or death. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring as-
semblies and other hardware.
Once a Month:
1. Manually operate door, if unbalanced or binding, call a professional garage door service person.
2. Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Adjust Limits and/or Force, (see pages 23, 24 and 27).
3. Perform safety reverse tests (Step 27 and 29). Make any necessary adjustments.
Twice a Year:
Check chain tension. If chain rests on bottom of rail, adjust tension by turning the two chain adjusting nuts at the end
of the rails (opposite the power head end) clockwise. Make sure to adjust both nuts equal amounts and until chain is
approximately 5/8” above rails when measured in the middle of the rails.
Once a Year:
1. Lubricate door rollers, bearings and hinges. (Refer to door owner’s manual for maintenance information).
2. Check batteries in Transmitters, Wireless Wall Station, Wireless Keyless Entry and Wireless Infrared Safety
Sensors (if included). When replacing batteries always use new batteries; never mix old and new batteries. Never
mix different types of batteries (see pages 14, 15, 21 and 26). Alkaline or Lithium batteries are recommended for
longer life. Dispose of used batteries properly.
