ADJUSTMENT STEP 1
Limit Adjustment
Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
Limit adjustments are not necessary when the door
opens and closes completely and doesn't reverse
unintentionally in the fully closed position.
Locate the button on the back panel of motor unit.
NOTE:
if the operator stops or reverses and will not
allow the run through of a complete travel cycle, it
may be necessary for the operator to adjust the force
profile.
Push the button twice to enter into Force Setting
Mode. Proceed with limit setting.
NOTE:
Repeated operation of the opener during
adjustment procedures may cause motor to overheat
and shut off. Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5
continuous operations of the opener.
Read the following carefully before proceeding to
Force Adjustment. Use a screwdriver to make limit
adjustments.
If Door Doesn't Open Completely but Opens at
Least 1.5m (5 feet):
Increase up travel. Turn the up
limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals
5cm (2") of travel.

Adjustment.
If Door Doesn't Close Completely:

maximum length, increase down travel. Turn down

equals 5cm (2") of travel. If the door still will not
close completely, the header bracket is positioned

screw clockwise. One turn equals 5cm (2") of travel.
