ADJUSTMENT STEP 1

Program the Travel Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will 
stop when moving up or down. Follow the steps below 
to set the limits.

To program the travel limits:

Adjust the position of the door by using the black and 
purple buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and 
purple moves the door DOWN (close).

1.  

Setting the UP position: 

Press and hold the black 

button until the yellow indicator light starts flashing 
slowly then release.

2.  Push and hold the black button until the door reaches 

the desired UP (open) position (Figure 2).

NOTE:

 

Check to be sure the door opens high enough for 

your vehicle.

3.  Push the remote control or door control (Figure 3). This 

sets the UP (open) limit and begins closing the door.

4. Immediately when the door begins to move down, press 

and release either the black or purple button. This will 
stop the door.

5.  

Setting the DOWN position:      

 Push and hold the purple 

button until the door reaches the desired DOWN 
(closed) position (Figure 4). 

6. Once the door is closed, if there appears to have too 

much pressure on the door, you may toggle the door 
back and forth using the black and purple buttons to 
reach the desired closed position.

7.  Push the remote control or the door control (Figure 3). 

This sets the DOWN (close) limit and should bring the 
door to the open position.

 • 

 

If the opener is not stopping exactly where you would 
like it, repeat steps 1 through 7 and program the limits 
again

.

 

•  When the unit stops in both the desired up (open) and 

down (close) positions, proceed to 

Adjustment Steps 

2, Setting the Force.

23

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons 
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or 
KILLED by a closing garage door.
•  Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere 

with proper operation of safety reversal system. 

•  NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or 

sticking garage door.

•  After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system 

MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" 
(3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.

To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door 
provides adequate clearance.
