Test Safety Reverse System

PROCEDURE: Place-a one-inch obstacle on the floor under the garage door. Operate door in DOWN direction. The door MUST reverse on the obstruction.

If the door STOPS on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the DOWN direction. Increase the DOWN limit by turning DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn. REPEAT TEST.

NOTE: Make sure limit adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position. See the illustration on Page 18/19.

When the door reverses on the one-inch obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

Door MUST NOT reverse in closed position. Repeat Adjustment Steps 1, 2 and 3 if necessary.
