OPERATION OF YOUR OPENER
Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:
• The Lighted Door Control Button. Hold the button down until door
starts to move.
• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry System (if you have
installed either of these accessories).
• The Remote Control Transmitter. 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
straight down (so that the trolley release arm snaps into a vertical
position). To reconnect the door, pull the release handle toward the
opener at a 45˚ angle so that the trolley release arm is horizontal. See
illustration 13.
Do not use the manual release handle to pull the door open or
closed.
When the Opener is Activated by Remote Control or Lighted Door
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 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 4-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is
40 Watts maximum.
