ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjust UP and DOWN Limits
LIMIT ADJUSTMENT settings regulate the points at
which the door will stop when moving up or down.
NOTE: Door STOPS in the UP direction if anything
interferes with door travel. Door REVERSES in the
DOWN direction if anything interferes with the door
travel (including binding or unbalanced doors).
PROCEDURE: To operate the opener, press the Door
Control Button. Run the opener through a COMPLETE
TRAVEL CYCLE. No limit adjustments are necessary
when the door opens and closes completely and doesn't
reverse unintentionally when fully closed.
THE FOLLOWING CHART OUTLINES ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES. RUN THE OPENER THROUGH A
COMPLETE TRAVEL CYCLE AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: REPEATED OPERATION OF THE OPENER DURING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES MAY CAUSE
MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT OFF. SIMPLY WAIT 15 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN.
Read the chart carefully before proceeding to Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments.
IF DOOR DOES NOT OPEN COMPLETELY
BUT OPENS AT LEAST FIVE FEET
Increase UP travel. Turn the UP LIMIT adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If door does not open at least 5 feet: adjust UP
(OPEN) FORCE as explained in Step 2.
IF DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY
Increase DOWN travel. Turn down limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If the door still will not close completely, the header
bracket is positioned too high. See Step 1, page 10.
LIMIT ADJUSTMENT CHART

screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2 inches of
