CAUTION

Door closing force is FACTORY set and requires no adjustment for normal operation.

ssNever adjust the force settings to compensate for damage, including an unbalanced door, binding door track or broken spring.

ssPerform monthly CONTACT REVERSE TEST. See page 7.

Force settings are pre-programmed at the factory and "learned" during the Open/Close Limit settings steps.

2.Doors that start down, STOP and reverse before closing.

3.Doors that start up, but STOP before they completely open.

ADJUSTMENT GUIDE - SPEED SETTINGS

Speed settings are pre-programmed at the factory for the maximum speed. Speed settings should not need adjustment with this unit.

However, travel speed for the opener can be adjusted to a slower speed in both the open and close directions, To mimimize wear on heavier sectional doors.

NOTE: One-piece doors are automatically set to the slowest speed during Limits programming and cannot be adjusted.

There are 3 speed settings available for sectional doors. Please note that speed may be affected by door weight and balance, along with condition of door components and tracks.
