ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

Setting the Force

The force setting button is located on the back 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 back panel of unit (Figure 1).

2.Push the purple button twice to enter unit into Force Adjustment Mode (Figure 2). The LED (Indicator Light) will flash quickly.

3.Push the remote control or door control (Figure 3). The door will travel to the DOWN (close) position. Push the remote control or door control again, the door will travel to the UP (open) position. Push the remote control or door control 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 unit 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 unit 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.”

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

After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
