ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
Speed settings are pre-programmed at the factory for the
maximum speed. Speed settings should not need adjustment
with this unit.
However, travel speed for the opener can be adjusted to a
slower speed in both the open and close directions, To
mimimize wear on heavier sectional doors.
NOTE: One-piece doors are automatically set to the slowest
speed during Limits programming and cannot be adjusted.
There are 3 speed settings available for sectional doors.
Please note that speed may be affected by door weight and
balance, along with condition of door components and tracks.
