ADJUSTMENT STEP 1

Limit Adjustment

Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Force adjustments are not necessary when the door opens and closes completely and doesn't reverse unintentionally in the fully closed position.

Locate the button on the back panel of motor unit.

NOTE: if the operator stops or reverses and will not allow the run through of a complete travel cycle, it may be necessary for the operator to adjust the force profile.

Push the button twice to enter into Force Setting Mode. Proceed with limit setting.

NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment procedures may cause motor to overheat and shut off. Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the opener.

Read the following carefully before proceeding to Force Adjustment. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments.

If Door Doesn't Open Completely but Opens at Least 1.5m (5 feet): Increase up travel. Turn the up limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 5cm (2") of travel.

If door does not open at least 1.5m (5 feet). Adjust force, see Force Adjustment: Place the opener into the Force Adjustment Mode, see Force Adjustment.

If Door Doesn't Close Completely: If door arm is at maximum length, increase down travel. Turn down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 5cm (2") of travel. If the door still will not close completely, the header bracket is positioned too high.

If Opener Reverses in Fully Closed Position: Decrease down travel. Turn down limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 5cm (2") of travel.

If Door Reverses when Closing and there is no Interference to Travel Cycle: Test door for binding. Pull manual release handle. Manually open and close door. If door is binding, call a door serviceman. If door is not binding or unbalanced, place the opener into the Force Setting Mode, see Force Settings.

PROCEED TO “FORCE SETTINGS” TO COMPLETE STEP “LIMIT ADJUSTMENT”. Forces must be learned in order for limit adjustments to operate properly.

WARNING

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

•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 need adjustment.

•After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 40mm high object on floor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.
