ADJUSTMENT STEP 3

Test the Safety Reversal System

TEST

•   With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board 

(or a 2x4 laid fl at) on the fl oor, centered under the 
garage door.

•   Operate the door in the down direction. The door 

must 

reverse on striking the obstruction.

ADJUST

•   If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling 

far enough in the down direction. Increase the DOWN 
limit by turning the DOWN limit adjustment screw 
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

 

 NOTE: 

On a sectional door, make sure limit 

adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a 
straight up and down position. See the illustration on 
page 25.

•   Repeat the test.

•   When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board, 

remove the obstruction and run the opener through 3 
or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

•   If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call 

for a trained door systems technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:

Test the Safety Reverse System after:

•   Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force 

controls.

•    Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door 

(including springs and hardware).

•   Any repair to or buckling of the garage fl oor.

•    Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 4

Test The Protector System

®

•   Press the remote control push button to open the door.

•   Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

•   Press the remote control push button to close the 

door. The door will not move more than an inch 
(2.5 cm), and the opener lights will fl ash.

The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the 
indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the 
fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing 
sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more 
than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor), call for a trained door 
systems technician.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, 
persons (particularly small children) could be 
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage 
door. 
•   Safety reversal system MUST be tested every 

month.

•   If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, 

the other control may also need adjustment.

•   After ANY adjustments are made, the safety 

reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST 
reverse on contact with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object 
(or 2x4 laid fl at) on the fl oor.

Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, 
persons (particularly small children) could be 
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage 
door.
