 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Check the following items before

assembling the opener:
• Identify the door type: sectional door or one-piece jamb door.
• Ensure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or
binding.
• Here is how wo check the door balance:
• From outside the garage, slowly open the door all the way
and close it all the way- DOOR SHOULD NOT BIND OR RUB.
• Raise the door halfway up – DOOR SHOULD STAY IN PLACE,

Sectional Door One-piece Door SUPPORTED ENTIRELY BY ITS SPRING.

IMPORTANT
• If the garage door fails either of these tests, have a qualified garage door professional adjust or repair the door.
• If the garage door is lightweight (made with frame and skin, not solid), it must be braced or reinforced before installing
the opener (including the door frame). Check with a qualified service professional for a door reinforcement kit.
• If you do not have an access door in addition to the garage door, you should install an emergency key release kit.
• If your door is more than 7’ (2.1 m) high, you will need a rail extension kit (sold separately).
• With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than
1/4” (6 mm). If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before installing opener.

Step 13 – Aligning the safety beam sensors

Safety beam sensors must be installed and aligned correctly for the
garage door opener to operate properly.

1. Both safety sensors should be facing each other without any

obstruction.

2. Check to make sure the LEDs in both sensors are glowing steadily.
The LEDs in both sensors will glow steadily if they are aligned and
wired correctly. Further alignment is necessary if any LEDs are not
glowing steadily.

Red LED is the transmitting sensor, Blue LED is the receiving sensor.
If the Red LED is not glowing, please check the followings:

1. Make sure the garage door opener is plugged into AC power.

2. Make sure the sensor wires are not shorted / broken.

3. Ensure the sensor has been wired correctly. White non-marked
