Adjustments

Introduction
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety
l
reversal system.
After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST
l
reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.
Your garage door opener is designed with electronic controls to make setup and adjustments easy. The
adjustments allow you to program where the door will stop in the open (UP) and close (DOWN)
position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force required to open and close the door. The
force is adjusted automatically when you program the travel.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door's upward travel it will stop. If anything interferes with the
door's downward travel, it will reverse.
