1. Test.
• Open garage door using wall console.
– Place a 2" x 4" board (laid flat) under center of garage door opening.
• Close garage door using wall console.
• When door contacts board, the door must stop (within 2 seconds) and reverse
direction returning to open position.
2. Adjustment.
• If the door:
– Stops before it contacts the 2 x 4 board, it may simply be responding to an
improperly set down limit. Return to pages 6-7 and repeat steps 1 through 10
to correct down limit.
– Stops after contacting the 2 x 4 board and does not reverse it may need an
adjustment to the down limit. Return to pages 6-7 and repeat steps 1 through 10
to correct down limit.
