STEP 1: Testing the Limit Settings: To check the
Limit Settings, start the Opener by pushing the standard
wall Push Button or Super Station. Be prepared to
activate the button again quickly - per the Operating
Parameters outlined on page 12 - or if you see that the
door is going to over travel. As illustrated below, move
the Cams toward the Power Unit to DECREASE door
travel and toward the Front Idler to INCREASE door
travel. Adjust the Up Limit Cam so that the door
comes to rest where it normally would without an
electric Opener. Adjust the Down Limit Cam so that
the door closes firmly without putting undue stress on
the Door Arm. At full closed position, the door arm
assembly should compress approximately one inch.
STEP 2: Adjusting the Sensitivity Force —
Sensitivity System force adjustment screws are located
on the side rails of the Power Unit and can easily be
adjusted with a screwdriver. Turn the screws
CLOCKWISE for more force and
COUNTERCLOCKWISE for less force.
STEP 3:
Testing the Sensitivity Force — To test
the Sensitivity System, start the Opener and grasp the
bottom door handle halfway through the door's travel
(opening or closing).
As an
alternate,
use a stiff
cardboard
carton
placed in
the door's
downward
path to
indicate the force the Opener is exerting.
If the force adjustment screws are properly set, the door
should stop if opening, and reverse if closing without
exerting undue pressure.
STEP 4:
Testing the Opener’s Reversing System
— To test the Opener's Reversing Feature at floor level,
place a solid object 1-1/2" thick (such as a standard 2 X
4 board laid flat) on the ground where the center of the
door will contact it. Close the door. If the down force
