STALL

FORCE

Do not use the Dual Sense Stall Force adjustment to compensate for 
a gate that is sticking or binding. Excessive Stall Force may cause 
damage to the gate operator or gate system or Injury or Death.

The Stall Force adjustment controls the amount of force the opener 
will apply against an obstruction before it stops and reverses 
direction. The adjustment on the control board operates like a volume 
control on a radio.  It controls the amount of force the opener will 
apply to an obstruction before it automatically reverses direction.

The Stall Force adjustment is located on the control board. Turn 
the “STALL FORCE” arrow in the center of the potentiometer with 
small flat head screwdriver. Adjust the sensitivity from the MINIMUM 
position up to the point where the gate operates without obstructing 
from its own weight or the wind conditions in your area.

You may need to increase the stall force in cold weather due to increased resistance from gate hinges. However, the adjustment must 
remain as near to minimum as possible and when the weather improves decrease the setting to the appropriate position.

NOTE: 

 The stall force setting must at the lowest (minimum) possible position. 

Close control box.

Turn the “AUTO CLOSE TIME” arrow in the center of the potenti-
ometer with small flat head screwdriver to determine how long 
the gate will remain open before it automatically closes.  The 
limits are OFF and 3 - 120 seconds. The factory setting is OFF.

SETTING DUAL SENSE DETECTION & AUTO CLOSE TIMER

For safety reason the Dual Sense Stall Force setting on the Mighty Mule control board comes from the factory set at 
MIN (minimum). This setting may need adjustment depending on the size and weight of the gate.

ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR SERVICING YOUR GATE SYSTEM.

CAUTION
