How do you adjust the limit stops on a silent max 1000? My door doesn't open all the way

To program the limits, you will want to press and hold the down arrow button (-) until the long LED comes on blue.  Release, and the LED will begin to flash blue. Press and hold the down arrow button (-) to close the garage door. When the door lightly touches the ground, you will release. Press and release the square button. Both LEDs flash blue and go off. Press and hold the open arrow (+) until the long LED come on blue. Release. Press and hold the open arrow to open the garage door. When the door is all the way open (do not allow it to hit the powerhead). Release. Press and release the square button.  Both LEDs flash blue and go off. Go to the wall console and press and release the button on the wall to fully close the garage door. Once the door is fully closed, you will want to press and release the button on the wall again to open the door all the way.

I just purchased this however I have 8ft garage door will this model work after hanging up with the representative I believe she stated after I purchase it, it’s for a 7ft door. If so what is typically the additional costs if any to get the SilentMax 1000 on 8ft door.

You can add the belt extension kit to the SilentMax 1000 for it to work on an 8-foot high garage door.

What is the difference between this (SilentDrive 1000) and the SilentDrive 750 (3055-TKSV)? The specs are both listed as belt-drive 3/4 HPc units, with the same features.

The Genie SilentMax 1000 comes with a 3-Piece Channel Rail and has a 140V motor. The SilentMax 750 (3055-TKSV) comes with a 5-Piece tube style rail and has a 24V Motor. The SilentMax 1000 is rated to work on up to a 750lb door, and the SilentMax 750 is rated for a 500lb door.

My silentmax 1000 has a blue flashing light and will not open are close but it has power. Can you tell me why?

The long blue light flashing on the powerhead can mean that your vacation lock (sure lock) is on (at the wall console). On the wall console make sure to switch off the lock button, then the door will operate as normal.

What model would replace a 3060L?

Any of the current Genie model garage door openers could replace the 3060L model. This really will depend on the preference and needs that you have for a new one.

Hello I have a SilentMax 1000 Model 3042. I replaced the circuit board due to a suspected power surge. Everything is back up and running with the exception of the hardwired grey/black button keypad. The red light is on. No open/close or light function. Do you have any ideas why this wouldn't work? Thank you

If you replace the circuit board with a new one, you would need the Series II wall console. The older Series III wall console will not work with the new boards for the SilentMax 1000.

I have a sliding barn door type garage door. What is the maximum opening travel?
