OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1:
Testing the Limit Settings: To check the Limit Settings, start
the Opener by pushing the standard wall Push Button or Super Station. Be
prepared to activate the button again quickly - per the Operating
Parameters outlined above - or if you see that the door is going to over
travel. As illustrated above, move the Cams toward the Power Unit to
DECREASE door travel and toward the Front Idler to INCREASE door
travel. Adjust the Up Limit Cam so that the door comes to rest where it
normally would without an electric Opener. Adjust the Down Limit Cam
so that the door closes firmly without putting undue stress on the Door
Arm. At full closed position, the door arm assembly should compress
approximately one inch.

the door should stop if opening, and reverse if closing
