OPERATION

Maintenance and operation of your garage door opener

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:
• Wireless Wall Button (128E). Press button down until door starts to move.
• The Outside Keyswitch or Keyless Entry System (if you have installed either of these accessories).
• The Remote Control. Hold the push button down until the door starts to move.
OPENING THE DOOR MANUALLY
Door should be fully closed if possible. Weak or broken springs could allow an open door to fall rapidly. Property damage or
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
The door can be opened manually by pulling the release handle down.
To re-connect the door, pull the release cord back toward the opener (refer to page 22).
Do not use the manual release handle to pull the door open or closed.
When the garage door opener is activated by the remote control, wireless wall button or (optional) wired wall control button:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close.
5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will reverse and stop.
®
7. The optional Protector System uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and
prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children.
Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the opener.
The opener light will turn on:
1. When opener is initially plugged in.
2. When the power is interrupted.
3. When the opener is activated.
The light turns off automatically after 2-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is 40 Watts maximum.
