ADJUSTMENT

W A R NI N G

IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OF SENSITIVITY SYSTEM FORCE COULD CAUSE ENTRAPMENT, INJURY OR DEATH. SET ADJUSTMENTS FOR JUST ENOUGH FORCE TO OPERATE THE DOOR RELIABLY, BUT NO STRONGER. Contact a service professional to correct any binding, sticking or other door problems. DO NOT OVER-ADJUST SENSITIVITY SYSTEM TO COMPENSATE FOR A POORLY WORKING DOOR.

STEP 3: Testing the Sensitivity Force — To test the Sensitivity System, start the Opener and grasp the bottom door handle halfway through the door's travel (opening or closing). When testing in the CLOSE direction, a second person will be needed to maintain pressure on the Push Button IF an Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Device has not yet been fitted. If a second person is unavailable, use a stiff cardboard carton placed in the door's downward path to indicate the force the Opener is exerting. If the force adjustment screws are properly set, the door should stop if opening, and reverse if closing without exerting undue pressure.

STEP 4: Testing the Opener’s Reversing System — To test the Opener's Reversing Feature at floor level, place a solid object 1-1/2" thick (such as a standard 2 X 4 board laid flat) on the ground where the center of the door will contact it. Close the door. If the down force adjustments are correct, the door will reverse within two seconds of contacting the object and travel to the Full Open position. If this does not occur, recheck the Limit Adjustments (Page 17) and Sensitivity Adjustments (Step 2 & 3, Above).

NOTE: Any time adjustments are

made to Limits or Sensitivity, YOU 104392

MUST RETEST THE OPENER FOR THE REVERSING FEATURE AT FLOOR LEVEL AS OUTLINED ABOVE.
