ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjustthe TravelLimits
Limit adjustment settings regulatethe points at which the door
will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push bar. Run the
opener through a complete travel cycle.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse unintentionally when
fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are
necessary unless the reversing test fails (Adjustment Step 3,
page 29).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Readthe procedures
carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a
screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Runthe opener througha
completetravel cycleafter each adjustment.
NOTE:Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off. Simply
wait 15 minutes and try again. If anything interferes with the
door's upward travel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the
door's downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors),
it will reverse.
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLYINJUREDor
KILLED by a closing garage door.
• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will
interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other
control may also need adjustment.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system
MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with
1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damageto vehicles, be sure fully open door
provides adequateclearance.
HOW AND WHENTO ADJUSTTHE LIMITS
• If the door does not open completelybut opensat least
5 feet (1.5 m):
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. Oneturn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
• If door does not openat least 5 feet (1.5 m):
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
• If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw
counterclockwise. Oneturn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
If door still won't close completely try lengthening the door
arm (page 25) and decreasing the down limit.
• If the opener reverses in fully closedposition:
Decreasedown travel. Turn the down limit adjustment screw
clockwise. Oneturn equals 2" (5 cm) of travel.
• If the door reverses when closingand there is no visible
interferenceto travel cycle:
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing Sensors
are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See
Troubleshooting, page 21.
Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency releasehandle.
Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding or
unbalanced, call for a trained door systems technician. If the
door is balanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN(close)
force. See Adjustment Step 2.
