About Travel Limits
Limit adjustments regulate the position at which the door will
stop when opening and closing.
BEFORE making any adjustments, operate the door by using
the push button or remote. Run the opener through a complete
cycle.
If the door opens and closes completely without unintended
reversing upon closing — NO adjustment is necessary.
If the door does not open or close at desired positions, proceed
with the instructions below to adjust the travel limits.
Adjusting Travel Limits
Open and close limits can be increased (+) or decreased (-) by
turning the corresponding screws on the opener. Use a “flat
head” screwdriver to make adjustments. One full turn of the
screw is about 2” (5cm) of actual travel.
NOTE: The opener motor includes an automatic thermal
protection system which will shut down the motor in an overheat
situation. The thermal protector will reset itself once the motor
cools down. Opening and closing the opener multiple times (in a
short period of time) may cause the motor to overheat and shut
down. If this happens, wait about 15 minutes for the motor to
cool and retry operation.
