ADJUSTMENT GUIDE - FORCE SETTINGS

CAUTION

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

•Never increase the door closing force to compensate for a damaged door or a binding door track.

•Never adjust force to compensate for a broken door spring.

•Perform monthly CONTACT REVERSE TEST as described on page 18.

Force settings are pre-programmed at the factory and "learned" during the Open/Close Limit settings steps. Some additional Force may be increased. For normal use, Force settings should not need adjustment with this unit.

However, conditions that might suggest an adjustment is necessary are;

Doors with very stiff weather seals.

Doors that start down, then STOP and reverse before they close.

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