Step 5: ADJUSTING AND TESTING THE FORCE CONTROLS

WARNING

Too much force will prevent safe operation of the garage door.Someone could be seriously injured or killed if the door force is set too high. A closing door may not reverse properly and someone could be pinned under it. An opening door might not stop when going up and someone hanging on the door could be pinned between the door and the header.Never increase the force above the minimum required to move the door.Never adjust the force to compensate for a sticking or binding door. Perform this safety check once a month.

WARNING

Always perform the force check after making any adjustments to the opener.
