Garage door opens by itself Stanley Deluxe 860 garage door opener open/close limit adjustment

Garage door opens by itself, the most common cause is the close limit is adjusted too far,
so when the door hits the floor, the opener motor still thinks it does not close yet,
but only hits an object and triggers the auto reverse function of opener, so the door automatically opens again.
in some cases, the close limit is just a little far than it actually needs, the door is not automatically reverse immediately,
but when there is some external force like wind could trigger the auto reverse and it opens.
to fix:
find the two tuners at bottom of opener, one is black which is for close limit, the arrow direction is to increase,
for the problem of door opens itself, you need to decrease, so you turn the tuner opposite to arrow direction, a quarter of turn at a time, then try close the door,
if the door does not hit ground too heavily, and the chain and cable tension is even on both sides and not too tight, it is good.

How to light furnace pilot burner with Honeywell VR8200A control


INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER—
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE
WARNINGS BELOW AND THE
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY,
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF
LIFE.
1. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance
area for gas. It the appliance uses LP
(bottled) gas, also be sure to smell next to the
floor be-cause LP gas is heavier than air. If
you smell gas, immediately shut off the
manual valve in the gas piping to the appliance,
or ON LP, AT THE TANK. Do not try
to light any appliance. Do not touch any
electrical switch or use the phone. LEAVE
THE BUILDING and call your gas supplier.
If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call
the fire department.
2. Do not force the gas control knob on the
appliance. Use only your hand to push down
the reset button or turn the gas control knob.
Never use any tools. If the knob or reset
button will not operate by hand, replace the
control using a qualified service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in fire or
explosion.
3. Replace the gas control if it has been flooded
with water. Call a qualified service technician.
4. If the red reset button stays depressed after
it is released, replace the gas control.
5. The gas control is a safety device. It must be
replaced in event of any physical damage
such as bent terminals, missing or broken
parts, stripped threads, or evidence of exposure
to heat.
IMPORTANT: Follow the operating instructions provided
by the manufacturer of your heating appliance.
The information below will be of assistance
in a typical control application, but the specific
controls used and the procedures outlined by the

your appliance.
3. Turn gas control knob (Fig. 3) clockwise to

Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone.
LEAVE THE BUILDING and call your gas supplier. If

counterclockwise to PILOT.
