How do I lubricate my [screw drive] garage door opener?

The screwrod of your Genie ScrewDrive unit should be lubricated about once a year.

1. We recommend using GLU (Genie’s white lithium grease,) however you can use another brand of lubricant as long as it is a white lithium based grease.
2. It is very important to select the correct type of lubricant. (For example: WD-40 will prevent the system from working properly.)
3. If needed, you can use mineral spirits to remove any old grease before lubricating.

 

To Lubricate:

1. Starting at the door end of the rail, squeeze a pea-sized amount on the threaded screw rod itself.
2. Moving towards the unit, place another dollop of grease about every 2.5ft or so.
3. Once the grease is applied, operate the unit a few times to rotate the screw rod, and help the carriage distribute the lubrication.
