Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your garage door opener:
- Monthly Inspection: Check the garage door's balance and smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts of the door (not the opener chain) as recommended by the door manufacturer.
- Chain Tension: Periodically check the chain tension. Adjust if necessary according to the detailed instructions in the full manual.
- Safety Reversal Test: Monthly, test the safety reversal system by placing a 2x4 piece of wood flat on the floor in the path of the door. The door should reverse upon contact. If it does not, adjust or contact support.
- Clean Sensors: If your system includes safety sensors (photocells), ensure they are clean and unobstructed.
