Hello
I"m in the process of installing a 3/4 hp craftman garage door opener, but in my case it will open an sliding gate, I also need to reverse the motor direction. I read your instruction, but there are not clear, for me, there are two big capacitors side by side, the one at the left have two heavy gauge wires that connect to the motor, one red the other blue and a smaller gauge red wire that connects to control board; did you reverse the two heavy gauge wires on the left capacitor (the red with the blue and reconnected the red wire were the blue was....... did you had to reverse the red and blue wires on the right capacitor also???? In other words you switched both capacitors wires or just the one that connects to the motor.

Could you please clarify, thanks in advance

Those are the instructions that I read but not sure if he means to swap the wires in one capacitor or in both capacitors, please refer to the attachment.........

Thanks

Edit: Solved: you have to interchange the red and blue wires at the control circuit board black female connector and reverse the limit wires, thanks........................

Test post......

Hello, it was a few months a go but still remember what I did, at the Capacitor I sawp the wires, red with blue and blue with red, then at the limits adjusters I also swap the wires and re adjust the limits, remember by doing this the limits will work opposite of the drawings........................Also check the first few post and will find more photos of what I did and where I did. In my case there was only 1 capacitor.
Good Luck TURBO.
