Safety Obstruction Force Test
WARNING! Take care when testing or adjusting 
the Safety Obstruction Force. Excessive force 
may cause SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or

Place a piece of timber approximately 40mm high 
on the fl oor directly under the door (Fig. 34).
Press the OPERATE button to close door. The door 
should strike the object and start to re-open.
Step 15.2 - Testing Open Cycle
Press the OPERATE button to close the door (Fig.

and need adjusting, refer below.
