force or travel limits. The need for occasional
adjustment for the force and limit settings is
normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect
door travel.

4. My door reverses for no apparent reason after
fully closing and touching the floor:
Repeat

DOWN Travel Limits.
Decrease down travel by
turning down limit adjustment screw clockwise.
5. My lights will not turn off when door is open:

6. My motor unit hums briefly:
• First verify that the trolley is against the stop bolt.
• Release the door from the opener by pulling the
Emergency Release Rope.
• Manually bring the door to a closed position.
• Loosen the chain by adjusting the
outer nut
4 to
5 turns. This relieves the tension.
• Run the motor unit from the remote control or
door control. The trolley should travel towards
the door and stop. If the trolley re-engages with
the door, pull the Emergency Release Rope to
disengage.
• Decrease the UP travel by turning the UP Travel
adjustment screw 2 full turns
away
from
the arrow.
• Re-tighten the outer nut so the chain is a
1/2" (13 mm) above the base of the rail. (When
the door is reconnected and closed, the chain
will sag. This is normal.)
• If the trolley does not move away from the bolt,
repeat the steps above.
