The force setting measures the amount of force required to
open and close the door.
1. Push the purple button twice to enter into the Force
Adjustment Mode. The LED will flash quickly.
2. Push the remote control or door control. The door will close
(DOWN).
3. Push the remote control or door control again. The door will
open (UP).
4. Push the remote control or door control a third time to close

The door must travel through a complete cycle, up and down, in
order for the force to be set properly. If the garage door opener
cannot open and close the door fully, inspect the door to ensure
that it is balanced properly and is not sticking or binding.
If the door is not stopping exactly where you would like it, repeat
Program the Travel Limits.

(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing door.

sticking. Repair door first.

of safety reversal system.
