ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjustthe 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 (Adjustment Step 3,
page 29).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Readthe procedures
carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a
screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Runthe openerthrougha
completetravel cycleafter each adjustment.
NOTE:Repeatedoperation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheat and 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.
Without a properly installed safety reversalsystem, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLEDby a closing garage door.
• Incorrect adjustment of garagedoor travel limits will
interfere with proper operation of safety reversalsystem.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
control may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system
MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damageto vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequateclearance.
