ADJUSTMENT GUIDE - FORCE SETTINGS FOR HELP-1-800-35-GENIE OR WWW.GENIECOMPANY.COM
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.
