Adjustment
STEP 1 Adjust UP and DOWN LimitsLIMIT ADJUSTMENT settings regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down.
NOTE: Door STOPS in the UP direction if anything interferes with door travel. Door REVERSES in the DOWN direction if anything interferes with the door travel (including binding or unbalanced doors).
PROCEDURE: To operate the opener, press the Door Control Button. Run the opener through a COMPLETE TRAVEL CYCLE. No limit adjustments are necessary when the door opens and closes completely and doesn't reverse unintentionally when fully closed.
The following chart outlines adjustment procedures. Run the opener through a COMPLETE TRAVEL CYCLE AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: REPEATED OPERATION OF THE OPENER DURING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES MAY CAUSE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT OFF. SIMPLY WAIT 15 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN.
Read the chart carefully before proceeding to Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments.
