Test the Safety Reversal System

Without a properly installed safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage
door.
• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every
month.
• 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) high object (or 2x4
laid flat) on the floor.
1
With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8
cm) board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered
under the garage door.
2
Press the remote control push button to close
the door. The door MUST reverse when it makes
contact with the board.
If the door stops but does not reverse:
1. Repeat Program the Travel (see Adjustment Step 3);
2. Repeat the Safety Reversal test.
If the test continues to fail, call a trained door systems
technician.

Test the Protector System

Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage
door.
1
Open the door. Place an obstruction in the path of
the door.
2
Press the remote control push button to close the
door. The door will not move more than an inch
(2.5 cm).
The garage door opener will not close from a remote
control if the LED in either safety reversing sensor is off
(alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or
obstructed).
If the garage door opener closes the door when the
safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors
are no more than 6 inches [15 cm] above the floor), call
for a trained door systems technician.
