This video was REALLY HELPFUL in putting together my new Craftsman Belt Drive Garage Opener. Two points I might mention. (1) The screw that connects the belt to the trolley has a "flat side" that can only go into the trolley ONE WAY. If you put it together the wrong way out, the belt twists. 50/50 chance and I had to remove the coupler and switch the screw the other way. (2) The video and the manual are different in the way the curved/straight arm are put on the door/trolley. I opted to install the way it is in the video, since that was the way my garage door opener HAD been... and it seems to work better on the video rather than in the install manual.

Yeah, I figured out the flat side after the fact, too. A 50/50 chance, right?

Just got this model off ebay. It travels 6 inches or so, has a bad board or travel module = priceless

If I’m replacing an old opener set up for a 8’ high door, will I still need the optional 8’ high kit?

I have it install how do you program it

[@sandrodutka]

When I plugged it into the socket and went to do the configuration as shown in the video at 11:30, when I press the adjustment button, the up button is not flashing, up and the low button are flashing, what should I do, it is a motor defect Or is there something I can do?

[@saline484]

When I get to the door travel set up I do as the owners manual says: *I disconnect the “safety reversing sensors” *I push the adjustment button and it beeps immediately *The up button flashes once *When I then push the up button the light bulb flashes twice and nothing works. ANY IDEAS ANYONE???

The step where we are supposed to jam a flat head screwdriver into a slot while turning the nut does not work. When I turn the nut to release the spring, the screwdriver wants to unjam immediately because it's BACKWARDS. Turning he nut should help keep the screwdriver in place, NOT force it loose and cause damage, injury, and stripping from the metal on metal contact.

I had had the same problem so I just held the spring nut with pliers and turned the nut. It popped into place easily.
