Check for loose or corroded wires.
Test the battery function (replace every 3 years).

NOTES: [1] Always use the proper lubricant for your area. Check the temperature range of the lubricant; lubricant
with an improper temperature range may cause the unit to stop operating or cause an obstruction condition.
[2] In extremely cold climates, maintain the proper operating temperature of the unit by installing heat tape around
the gear reducer (see illustration below).
