Adjustment Step 4
Test the Safety Reverse System
Test:
• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the
floor, centered under the garage door.
• Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on striking the obstruction.
Adjustment:
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling
far enough in the down direction.
• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN
limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
• Repeat the test.
Make sure limit adjustments do not force the
door arm beyond a straight up and down
position. See the illustration on page 23.
• When the door reverses on the one-inch object
(or 2x4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run
the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to
test adjustment.
If the door will not reverse after repeated
adjustment attempts, call for professional
garage door service.
