ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Travel
Limits
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which
the door will stop when moving up or down.
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push
button. Run the opener through a complete travel
cycle.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse
unintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test
fails (see Adjustment Step 3, page 30).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read the
procedures carefully before proceeding to
Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit
adjustments, Run the opener through a complete
travel cycle after each adjustment.
NOTE: Repeated operationof the opener during
adjustment procedures may cause the motorto
overheat and shutoff. Simply wait 15 minutes and
try again.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door's upward
travel, it will stop. ff anything interferes with the
door's downward travel (including binding or
unbalanced doors), it will reverse.
HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS
• If the door does not open completely but opens
at least five feet:
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limitadjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
NOTE: Toprevent the trolley from hitting the cover
protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4"
between the trolley and the bolt.
• If door does not open at least 5 feet:
Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in
Adjustment Step 2.
• If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the down limit
adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn
equals 2" of travel.
If door still won't close completely and the trolley
bumps into the trolley stop bolt (see page 4 or 5),
try lengthening the door arm (page 26) and
decreasing the down limit.
