!taving a Problem? Review Pages 2 and 3 Before Proceeding

SITUATIONi,,N i,ii ii i i

OPENER DOESN'T OPERATEFROM EITHER THE WALL PUSHBUTTON OR TRANSMITTER

PROBABLE CAUSE & SOLUTION

1 Have you disengaged all door tocks? Review Step 8, page 14r

2 Does the opener have electric power? Plug a tamp into the outiet. If it doesn'tlight, check fuse box or circuit breaker (Some outlets are controlled by a wail switch.)

3 Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor, Wait15 minutes Try again.

4. is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? Door may be frozen to ground, Re-move any obstruction

5. Remove beIl wire from opener terminals. Short red and white terminals by touch-ing both terminals at same time with a piece of metal (screwdriver or coin) if openerruns, check for a faulty wire connection at wa)l push button or a short, under stapIes.

1 Is wail push button _it? If not, refer to No 5 above and fo)low same procedure

2 Are wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 13.

DOOR OPERATES FROMWALL PUSH BUTTON BUT NOTFROM THE TRANSMITTER

1 Does the battery test light glow when transmitter push button is pressed? if not,replace the battery

2 If you have two transmitters and only one operates, review the code settingprocedures on page 19 ALL transmitters must be set to same code.

3 )s transmitter(s) operating any other remote controf devices? See the code settingprocedures on page 19.

4 Dfd you press the transmitter button designated to operate garage door opener?

5 Reprogram receiver and ALL transmitters. Try setting ALL transmitter code switcheson plus, center or minus positions If transmitter(s) works, you can try a randomcode switch setting again, if you desire.

TRANSMITTER HASSHORT RANGE

1 Check battery test light. If the light is dim, change the battery

2 Change the location of the transmitter in the car.

3 A metal garage door or foil-backed insulation or metal siding will reduce thetransmission range Antenna extender kit is available from any Sears Store orService Cente[

4 Check to be sure antenna on the back panel of opener extends fully downward_

THE GARAGE DOOR OPENSAND CLOSES BYITSELF

1 is there a neighbor with a garage door opener using the same frequency code?Change your code Review page 19

2. Check to be sure that none of the transmitter ptJsh buttons is stuck in the 'down'position

3. Remove betl wire from opener terminals and operate from transmitter only, If thissolves the problem, the wall push button is faulty (replace), or there is a short orbroken wire between push button and opener.

DOOR DOESN'T OPENCOMPLETELY

1. Is something obstructing the door?

2. If door opens at least 5 feet, travel limits may need to be increased. One turn equals2 inches of travel, See page 17,REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST after the adjustment is complete.

3. If door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase theUP FORCE. See page 17.REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST after the adjustment is complete°
