INSTALLATION VERIFICATION
CHECKLIST
Use the indoor keypad to open and close
the garage door. Ensure garage door moves
smoothly from fully open to full closed and from
fully closed to fully open.
With the garage door raised, place a 1-1/2 in.
Board (approximately the size of a 2x4 laid
flat) on the garage floor beneath the door and
attempt to close the door on the object. Ensure
the garage door automatically reverses direction
upon contacting the object.
With the garage door raised, press the UP/
DOWN button on the indoor keypad to close
the door. Pass an object, such as a broomstick,
between the safety sensors to break the safety
beam while the door is lowering. Ensure the
garage door automatically raises when the beam
is broken.
With the garage door lowered, pull the safety
handle to disengage the door from the drive
unit. Ensure the door is free to move once the
outer trolley disengages from the inner trolley.
Once this is confirmed, use the indoor keypad
to cycle the drive unit and reengage the door to
the drive unit.
If the garage door opener has been connected to
the RYOBI Garage Door Opener Module System
app feature, test this feature prior to use. With
the garage door raised, attempt to lower the
door using the smartphone app. Ensure that the
garage door opener light flashes and a beeping
sound is emitted for a few seconds prior to the
door beginning to lower.
