CARE OF THE OPENER
When properly installed, opener will l:_OVidehigh 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 progedy set when opener is installed,
Only a screwdriver is required. P,_ge 17 refers to the limit and
force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully.
REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST AFTER ANY ADUSTMENT OF FORCE AND/OR LIMITS. Weather conditions
may cause'some minor changes in door operation requirIng some readjustments, particularly during the first year
of operation.
THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT (See
Wpg,18). GARAGE DOOR MUST REVERSE ON CONTACT
ITH A ONE-INCH OBSTACLE PLACED ON THE FLOOR.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST OPENER MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM A CLOSING
GARAGE DOOR.

MANUALLY OPERATE DOOR. If it is unbalanced or binding,
call for professional garage door service.
CHECK TO BE SURE DOOR OPENS & CLOSES FULLY.
Adjust Limits and/or Force if necessary.
REPEAT SAFETY REVERSE TEST_ Make any necessary
adjustments (see page 18).

CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT: After installation of the
opener and adjustment of forces and limits, the chain may
appear loose. This is normal, To check the chain tension:
disconnect the trolley by pullingthe red emergengy handle.
If the chain returns to the position described and illustrated
in Step 5 page 9, DO NOT make ANY further adjustmants_
TRANSMITTER: The 3-functiontransmitter willoperate more
than one garage door opener, if desired. The push buttons
may also be used to operate other 53000 and/or53000SR
Series devices. The standardtransmitter may be secured to
car sun visor with clip provided. Additional transmitters can
be purchased at any time_Refer to Accessories on page 4.
Any new transmitters must be set to the same code as the
original transmitterand receiver. Page 19 explains how to
change your existing code and use the transmitter(s) with
other 53000 end,or 53000SR Series receivers_ Self service
of your radio controls is not recommended. If service is
needed, contactyour nearest Sears Service Center.
TRANSMITTER BATTERY: The 12 Volt battery should
producepower for at least one year. As long as the battery
power is adequate, the transmitter test light will glow when
the push button is pressed (and the opener or other control
will operate), tf light doesn't come on, replace the battery. If
transmission range lessens, check battery test light.
