settings regulate the amount of power required to
open and close the door.

NOTE: Door STOPS In UP direction if anything
interferes with door travel. Door REVERSES in
DOWN direction if anything interferes with door

travel (including binding or unbalanced doors).

If force adjustments are set too light, door travel may

be interrupted by nuisance reversals in the DOWN
direction and stops in the UP direction As weather
conditions can affect door movement, occasional

adjustment may be needed

The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees,

about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls
beyond that point Turn force adjustment controls
