12. Setting Limits
12.1 Set the Limit Positions and adjust drive speed:
When setting the Close limit, ensure the position is when the door
makes first contact with the ground. Alternatively for the Open limit
the position should be at the height of the garage opening.
NOTE:
The drive speed is set to the fastest setting by default. This
may not be suitable for larger doors or for single piece doors. For tilt
doors (J-Type only), please refer to Appendix F for initial setup.

the halfway point.
WARNING! In setting the close limit position,
