Genie SILENTMAX 1000 3042 Operation And Maintenance Manual page 23

ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
Door closing force is FACTORY set and requires no
adjustment for normal operation.
• Never increase the door closing force to
compensate for a damaged door or a binding
door track.
• Never adjust force to compensate for a broken
door spring.
• Perform monthly CONTACT REVERSE TEST as
described on page 18.
Force settings are pre-programmed at the factory
and "learned" during the Open/Close Limit settings
steps. Some additional Force may be increased.
For normal use, Force settings should not need
adjustment with this unit.
However, conditions that might suggest an
adjustment is necessary are;
Doors with very stiff weather seals.
Doors that start down, then STOP and reverse
before they close.
Doors that start up, but STOP before they
completely open.
