PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR

PRIOR TO Classicdrive Opener INSTALLATION
To ensure your new Classicdrive opener works as intended, your garage door must be
properly installed and balanced.
Before installing your garage door opener, open and close you door manually to ensure it
operates smoothly from top to bottom. A properly balanced door should not take a lot of
effort to open or close by hand. The door should stay in the open and in the closed
position without drifting down or creeping up. If a door opens fast, the door may need spring
tension reduced. If the door drops fast, the door may need spring tension increased.
If the door operates properly, then proceed to your Classicdrive installation manual for
instructions on how to install the Classicdrive garage door opener.
If the operation of the door does not meet these requirements, adjust the spring
balance per your doors installation manual or call a professional installer to make
adjustments before installing Classicdrive.
Instruction manuals are available for download on www.wayne-dalton.com. Use the web site to
also find the location of your nearest professional dealer.
Once the door is properly balanced and operates smoothly, you may proceed with the
installation of your Classicdrive garage door opener.

Pre-Installation
IMPORTANT! Before starting the installation read these instructions thoroughly to
familiarize yourself with all aspects of installation and adjustment.
Important: If your garage has no service entrance door, install an optional outside quick release lock. This accessory
allows manual operation of garage door from outside in case of power failure.
Identify Your Door

Identify your door by referring to illustrations below and verify that your door type is a sectional door with curved track. Do not install if the door
is any type of one piece door.
Note: The opener has been designed for sectional doors. Do not attempt to install this opener on any style one piece door. Using this opener on
a one-piece door may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Test Your Door

Before you begin, complete the following two tests to insure the door is balanced and working properly. A door that binds, sticks or is out of
balance could cause severe injury. Do not attempt to compensate for an improperly adjusted door by the installation of an opener. This will
interfere with the proper operation of the openers safety features and/or may damage the door or opener. Have a qualified service person
make any needed adjustments or repairs before proceeding with installation.
Door Test One
Raise and lower the door and check closely for any sticking or binding
that may occur. Lift the door approximately half way open, as
illustrated. When releasing the door, it should stay in position. If spring
tension pulls the door further open or door weight pulls it down, your
door is not properly adjusted.
Door Test Two

When properly installed, a door should remain clear of the
opening, when allowed to rest at its natural, full open position.
If door drift pulls door back into opening or spring tension is
not sufficient to pull door totally clear of opening, the door is not
properly adjusted.
Pre-Assembly Check
WARNING
failure to keep clear of rotating and moving parts can result in severe injury.
Disconnect from power source and proceed to assembly.
P.B. COM OBS
Caution: Keep clear of all rotating and moving parts.

STATUS
Every opener is factory tested and shipped with the limit switch adjustment in the door CLOSED
position. If the opener has been powered up before assembly, perform the following steps to insure
that the limit switch adjustment is in the door CLOSED position. Connect the opener to a power
source and short across the screw terminals labeled PB and COM with a metal screw driver.
Motor should start; run through a full OPEN cycle, (driven gear rotates clockwise) and stop. This
will leave opener in OPEN position. To get the opener back to full CLOSE position, short and hold
PB and COM terminals again (driven gear rotates counter clockwise). Continue to short
terminals until opener stops in the CLOSED position.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE, Keep people and
objects clear of the moving door
arm.
IMPORTANT: The safety sensor sends
an invisible beam of light from the
sending unit to the receiving unit
across the pathway of the door. The
opener will not operate until the
safety sensors are connected to the
opener and properly aligned. If the
invisible beam of light is obstructed,
an open door cannot be closed by
the transmitter or a momentary
activation of the wall station up/
down button. However, the door may
be closed by continuously
holding your finger on the wall
station up/down button (constant
pressure) until the door travels to a
fully closed position.

The safety sensors must be aligned by
moving the sending and receiving units in or
out until the alignment light on the receiving
unit comes on. The 1/4-20 carriage bolt
can be loosened to move the unit in or out,
as required. If you have difficulty
aligning beams, check that both brackets are
mounted at the same height (see Step 14)
and remount if necessary. Additional minor
adjustments can be made by lightly bending
the mounting brackets.

To determine the doors natural fully open,
resting position, disconnect door from
opener using the emergency release
disconnect (see page 27, emergency
disconnect) and manually raise door to its
natural fully open, resting position. Use this
location for your open limit setting. To

(Continued)
To precisely set the open limit:

a. If door is not opening completely
determine travel distance required to
reach fully open and increase opening
travel 1/4 turn more (counterclockwise)
for each inch of additional travel.
For doors less than 7 feet high recommend
decreasing factory preset travel by turning

adjustment by using substep (a.) above.
Stop Bolt
Trolley
Opener
NOTE: Confirm that the door has stopped in

the UP position as a result of the upper limit
switch and not because the trolley has hit
the stop bolt, which is mounted in the rail
near the opener. The correct condition can
be verified by observing that the openers
convenience light does not flash after the
fully open door comes to a stop. The faulty
condition may also be confirmed visually
by checking to see if the trolley is resting
against the stop bolt.
To confirm final OPEN travel adjustment,
activate the opener to bring door to fully
open position. The opener light should not
be flashing.

NOTE: If door does not open fully and

opener light flashes (make sure the bulb
is installed and operating) check for an

Using the wall station, activate the door to

the fully open position. Place a 2 x 4 flat
on the garage floor, under the door path.
Activate the door to the closed position with
the wall station. Upon contacting the 2 x 4
board, the door should reverse.

If door stops on the 2 x 4 board, adjust the

close travel knob 1/4 turn more until door
reverses upon contact with 2 x 4 board.
When the door reverses, remove the
2 x 4 board and run the full cycle of open
and close of the door. Door should not
reverse when it comes to the fully closed
position on the floor.

Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all instructions.

2. Never let children operate or play with the door controls.
Keep remote controls away from children.
3. Always keep a moving door in sight and keep people and objects
away until it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF A MOVING DOOR.
4. NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5. Test the Door/Opener monthly. The garage door MUST reverse on
contact with a 1-1/2 inch high object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on the
floor. The door MUST also reverse when a 6 high object is placed on
the floor in line with safety sensors. If Door/Opener fails these tests,
have adjustments/repairs made immediately. Failure to make
adjustments/repairs may cause severe or fatal injury.
6. When possible, use the Emergency Disconnect only when the door is
in the closed position. Be very cautious using the Emergency
Disconnect when the door is open. Weak or broken spring(s) may
allow the door to fall rapidly, causing a severe or fatal injury.
7. KEEP THE GARAGE DOOR PROPERLY BALANCED. See the owners
manual included with the door. An improperly balanced door could
cause a severe or fatal injury. Have a qualified service person make
repairs to the cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware.
8.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Door activation:
Upon activation by either the wall station Up/Down button, transmitter or
wireless keyless entry, the door will move in the following manner:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open.
2. If closing, the door will stop. Next activation will open.
3. If opening, the door will stop. Next activation will close.
4. If an obstruction is contacted or the safety sensor beam is
interrupted while closing, the door will reverse and the light will flash.
5. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will stop
and the light will flash. The next activation will close the door.
6. The Infrared Safety Sensor uses an invisible beam which, when
broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to reverse, prevents
an open door from closing and causes the light to flash.
WARNING
ALWAYS KEEP MOVING DOOR IN SIGHT AND KEEP PEOPLE AND
OBJECTS AWAY UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. TO PREVENT A
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY, AVOID STANDING IN A OPEN DOOR WAY
OR WALKING THROUGH THE DOORWAY WHILE THE DOOR IS
MOVING.
WARNING
NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE DOOR OR PLAY WITH THE DOOR
CONTROLS. KEEP REMOTE CONTROLS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
FATAL INJURY COULD RESULT SHOULD A CHILD BECOME TRAPPED
BETWEEN THE DOOR AND FLOOR.
WARNING
KEEP THE GARAGE DOOR PROPERLY BALANCED. AN IMPROPERLY
BALANCED DOOR COULD CAUSE SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY. HAVE A
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON MAKE ADJUSTMENTS/REPAIRS TO
CABLES, SPRING ASSEMBLIES, AND OTHER HARDWARE.
Emergency Disconnect:
WARNING
The door should be fully closed when activating the

emergency release disconnect. Weak or broken springs
could allow an open door to fall rapidly possibly
causing severe or fatal injury.
The opener is equipped with an emergency release recessed trolley type
disconnect system, enabling manual operation of the garage door during
power failure. The trolley is disconnected from the chain by pulling down on
the red release knob, allowing the garage door to be operated manually. Do
not use the manual release knob to pull the door open or closed. The trolley
will automatically reconnect when power is restored and door is activated. If
emergency release is used, close door before operating opener.
NOTE: Outside keylock emergency releases are an available accessory and
are recommended for garages without a service entrance.
HOW THE LIGHT WORKS AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN IT FLASHES:
1. Overhead light automatically turns on when opener is activated and
remains on for 4 minutes for convenience and safety.
2. The light will flash if opener senses an obstruction in the up or
down direction, to warn you of a problem. It will continue flashing for
1 minute, and then shut off.
If the light begins to flash and the door moves a short distance and then
reverses from a wall station button, transmitter or keyless entry, the external
safety sensor device is activated or defective. To temporarily override safety
sensor device and close door, activate wall station up/down button, keeping
button depressed; opener will begin in down direction. The button must
remain depressed until cycle is completed. If the button is released before
cycle is completed, the door will reverse and come to full up position.
Problems in the safety system should be corrected by a qualified service
person.
NOTE: A fully open door with a blinking light indicates an obstruction or
problems with external safety sensors during close travel. See trouble
shooting section on page 34.
