ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjustthe UP and DOWN TravelLimits
Limit adjustment settings regulatethe points at which the door
will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push bar. Run the
opener through a complete travel cycle.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse unintentionally when
fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are
necessaryunless the reversing test fails (see Adjustment Step 3,
page 29).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Readthe procedures
carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Usea
screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Runthe openerthrougha
completetravel cycleafter each adjustment.
NOTE:Repeatedoperation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheatand shut off. Simply
wait 15 minutes and try again. If anything interferes with the
door's upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the
door's downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors),
it will reverse.
HOWAND WHENTO ADJUSTTHE LIMITS
• If the door doesnot open completelybut opensat least five
feet (1.5 m):
Increaseup travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
NOTE:To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection
bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4"(5 cm - 10 cm) between
the trolley and the bolt.
• If doordoesnot openat least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
• If the door doesnot close completely:
Increasedown travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw
counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
If door still won't close completely and the trolley bumps into
the pulley bracket (page 4), try lengthening the door arm
(page 25) and decreasing the down limit.
• If the opener reversesin fully closedposition:
Decreasedown travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
• If the door reverseswhen closingand there is no visible
interferenceto travel cycle:
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety ReversingSensors
are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See
Troubleshooting, page 22.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release handle.
Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding or
unbalanced,call for a trained door systems technician. If the
door is balancedand not binding, adjust the DOWN(close)
force. SeeAdjustment Step 2.
Without a properly installed safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLEDby a closing garagedoor.
• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will
interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
control may also needadjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made,the safety reversal system
MUST betested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2"
high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damageto vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequateclearance.
