Care And Maintenance Of Your Opener - Chamberlain 1145-1/3HP Owner's Manual

When properly installed, opener will provide high
performance with a minimum of maintenance. The opener
does not require additional lubrication.
Most complaints of unsatisfactory opener operation can
be traced to problems with the door itself. When operated
manually, a properly balanced door will stay in any point
of travel while being supported entirely by its springs.
THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED
OR BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY
FAULTY DOOR HARDWARE.
LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments
must be checked and properly set when opener is installed.
Only a screwdriver is required. Pages 20 and 21 refer to the
limit and force adjustments. Follow the instructions carefully.
REPEAT THE SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY
ADJUSTMENT. Weather conditions may cause some
minor changes in the door operation, requiring some
readjustments, particularly during the first year of
operation.
THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (SEE

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY: The 12 Volt battery
should produce power for at least one year. As long as
there is adequate power, the transmitter battery test light
will glow when the push button is pressed (and the opener
will operate). When the light becomes dim or does not
come on, replace the battery. If transmission range
lessens, check the battery test light.
