ADJUSTMENT STEP 2
Setting the Force
The force setting button is located on the left panel of the motor unit. The force setting measures the amount of force required to open and close the door.
1.Locate the purple button on the left panel of the motor unit (Figure 1).
2.Push the purple button twice to enter the opener into Force Adjustment Mode (Figure 2). The LED (Indicator Light) will flash quickly.
3.Push the remote control or control console (Figure 3). The door will travel to the DOWN (close) position. Push the remote control or control console again, the door will travel to the UP (open) position. Push the remote control or control console a third time to send the door to the DOWN (close) position.
The LED (Indicator Light) will stop flashing when the force has been learned.
The opener has learned the forces required to open and close your door.
The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and DOWN, in order for the force to be set properly. If the opener cannot open and close your door fully, inspect your door to insure that it is balanced properly and is not sticking or binding. See page 3, “Preparing your garage door.”
