Obstruction Sensitivity Potentiometer Setting
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the obstruction setting or Stall Force on the Mighty Mule® control board comes from the factory set at MIN (minimum). In many gate installations this setting will need to be adjusted to overcome the weight and size of the gates.
The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board operates like a volume control on a radio. It controls the obstruction sensitivity (or the amount of force the opener will apply to an obstruction) before it automatically stops and reverses direc- tion for approximately two (2) seconds.
Use a small slotted screwdriver to turn the arrow in the center of the potentiometer. Adjust the sensitivity from the MINI- MUM position where the gate operates without obstructing from its own weight or the wind conditions in your area.
