Assembly STEP 1 Assemble the rail and install the trolley Slide to stops on top and sides of “U” bracket To prevent INJURY from pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail. To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so. The front rail has a cut out “window” at the door end. The rail tab MUST be on top of the rail when assembled. 1.
Assembly HARDWARE STEP 2 Fasten the rail to the motor unit Lock Nut 1/4"-20 Bolt 1/4"-20x1-3/4" To avoid SERIOUS damage to garage door opener, use ONLY those bolts/fasteners mounted in the top of the opener. Hex Screws 8-32x7/16 1. Insert a 1/4"-20 x 1-3/4" bolt into the cover protection bolt hole on the back end of the rail as shown. Tighten securely with a 1/4"-20 lock nut. DO NOT overtighten. 2. Remove the bolts from the top of the motor unit. 3. Use the carton to support the front end of the rail.
Assembly HARDWARE STEP 3 Install the idler pulley Nut 3/8" Bolt 1. Lay the chain beside the rail, as shown. Grasp the end of the chain and pass approximately 12" (30 cm) of chain through the window. Allow it to hang until Assembly Step 4. 2. Remove the tape from the idler pulley. The inside center should be pre-greased. If dry, regrease to ensure proper operation. 3. Place the idler pulley into the window as shown. 4. Insert the idler bolt from the top through the rail and pulley.
Assembly STEP 4 Install the chain HARDWARE Master Link Threaded Shaft To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY to finger from moving garage door opener: l ALWAYS keep hand clear of sprocket while operating opener. l Securely attach sprocket cover BEFORE operating. c. b. 1. Pull the chain around the idler pulley and toward the trolley. 2. Connect the chain to the retaining slot on the trolley, as shown. (Figure 1) a. Push pins of master link bar through chain link and trolley slot. b.
Assembly STEP 5 Tighten the chain To Tighten Outer Nut 1. Spin the inner nut and lock washer down the trolley threaded shaft, away from the trolley. 2. To tighten the chain, turn the outer nut in the direction shown. 3. When the chain is approximately 1/4" (6 mm) above the base of the rail at it's midpoint, retighten the inner nut to secure the adjustment. Outer Nut Sprocket noise can result if the chain is too loose. When installation is complete, you may notice some chain droop with the door closed.

STEP 16 Aligning the safety reversing sensors The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned correctly.
Adjustments One-Piece Doors Only Introduction When setting the UP travel for a one-piece door ensure that the door does not slant backwards when fully open (UP). If the door is slanted backwards this will cause unnecessary bucking and/or jerking when the door is opening or closing. Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
Adjustments STEP 1 Program the Travel UP Button Adjustment Button Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. l Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. l After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
Adjustments STEP 3 Test the Protector System® STEP 2 Test the Safety Reversal System Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door. l Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month. l After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.
Operation IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS. 2. ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate or play with garage door control push buttons or remote controls. 3. ONLY activate garage door when it can be seen clearly, it is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel. 4.
Operation Features THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM® (SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS) Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your garage door operation. When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.
Operation Using your Garage Door Opener Push Button Door Control The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keyless entry or MyQ® accessory. When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. If the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the door will stop. When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will close.
Operation Remote Control and Keyless Entry To Erase the Memory Pre-programmed remote control included, no need to program the remote. To add or reprogram a remote control, follow the instructions below. Older Chamberlain remote controls are NOT compatible, see page 40 for compatible accessories. ERASE ALL REMOTE CONTROLS AND KEYLESS ENTRIES 1. Press and hold the LEARN button on garage door opener until the learn LED goes out (approximately 6 seconds).
Operation To Open the Door Manually To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door: l If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly. l NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway is clear of persons and obstructions. l NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
Maintenance Maintenance Schedule The Remote Control Battery EVERY MONTH l Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems technician. l Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Adjust if necessary, see page page 29. l Test the safety reversal system. Adjust if necessary, see page page 31. To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: l NEVER allow small children near batteries. l If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor.
