WARNING

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

- The Safety Reversal Test MUST be conducted ONCE A MONTH.

- NO ONE should cross the path of moving door during operation and/or testing.

- If either Force or Travel limit adjustment is made, the other adjustment may also needed.

- After ANY adjustments to the door system, the Safety Reverse Test MUST be performed to ensure the door reverses on contact with a 1-1/2” thick (2x4 laid flat) object.

- The Photo Eye Safety System MUST be properly aligned, and tested regularly.

Final Adjustments and Testing

Testing the Safety Reverse System The Safety Reverse System prevents the door from closing

when an obstruction is present.

1. Open the door by using the “UP” button or Wall Panel.

2. Place a 1-1/2” (3.8cm) thick solid object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor under the center of garage door.

3. Keeping the door in sight, use the “DOWN” button to close the door.

4. The door MUST REVERSE and beeps within 1.5 seconds upon striking the object , and stop at the fully opened position.

5. The Safety Reverse System works properly and the opener is ready to use.

If the door just stops on the object, adjust the Opener as follows:

The close travel maybe inadequate, slightly increase the DOWN limit. (See Travel Limit Adjustment on page 17-19)

Conduct the test again. If the door reverses on contact, remove the object and run at least 3 COMPLETE travel cycles to ensure proper adjustment.

If the Opener still fails the Safety Reverse Test, call a qualified technician for door adjustment.
