Force adjustment controls are located on the right side panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings

regulate the amount of power required to open and close the door.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything interferes with its travel. The door will reversein the

down direction if anything interferes with its travel (including binding or unbalanced doors).

If the forces are set too light, door travel may be interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down direction and stops in the up direction. Weather conditions can affect the door movement, so occasional adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees, about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

Adjustment Label

Too much force on the door will interfere with

the proper operation of the safety reverse

system. The door might not reverse properly

when required and could seriously injure or kill someone under it. Do not increase the

force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door. Do not use the force

adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse

system following all adjustments to force levels. See page 30.
