Fully Open Position

Fully Closed Position

Your Mighty Mule 200 has two Limit Settings

1.

 

OPEN Limit setting:

 (Gate in the OPEN POSITION / FACTORY SET & 

NOT ADJUSTABLE) The open limit setting is the fully open position.

2.

  

CLOSED Limit setting:

 The CLOSED Limit setting (gate in the 

CLOSED POSITION) To achieve optimum closed position, you are 
required to complete the following FIVE STEPS:

Step 1

With the gate in the fully open position (arm fully retracted), slide the ON/OFF switch on the control box 
to the OFF position.

 

If gate is not open, use the transmitter to put the gate into the fully open position, 

then slide the ON/OFF switch on the control box to the OFF position.

Step 2

Press and hold the hand held transmitter button while sliding the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Continue to hold the transmitter’s button until the alarm sounds (3-5 seconds). The unit is now in the 
‘LEARN LIMIT’ mode. (

In this mode the unit will run only when the transmitter is held down.

 The 

gate will stop when the transmitter’s button is released. The gate will alternate its running direction each 
time the button is pressed.)

Step 3

Press and hold the transmitter’s button to close the gate. Prepare to release the transmitter’s button 
when the gate reaches the desired closed position. (Note: Use the transmitter to ‘fine-tune’ the closed 
position of the gate. Make sure the last running state is in the closing direction). The gate is now at the 
desired closed position limit.

Step 4

Press & hold the transmitter to run the gate open 

uninterrupted

 all the way to the full open limit. If the 

gate stops prior to reaching the open limit position, 
bring the gate back to the desired closed position 
and repeat steps 2 and 3. (Note: If the gate stops and 
reverses while the transmitter is held down, the ‘STALL 
FORCE’ adjustment may be set too low. Turn ‘STALL 
FORCE’ pot clockwise and repeat steps 2-3)

Step 5

Once the gate reaches the open position limit you 
will hear a single beep from the alarm confirming 
that the closed position limit is ‘learned’. The unit will 
automatically exit ‘LEARN LIMIT’ mode and return to 
normal operation (momentary press of the transmitter 
will operate the gate). Run the gate to the closed 
position and verify that it stops at the desired position.

TESTING YOUR CLOSED LIMIT SETTING:

Press your entry transmitter and allow your gate to close.
If CLOSED position is not correct or needs to be changed you 
will need to repeat steps 1-5.
