Master Lock ATS 211 - Manual (Page 22)

Adjustment Step 2
Adjust the Force
Too much force on the door will interfere with
the proper operation of the safety reverse
system. See page 23.
The door might not
reverse properly when required and could
seriously injure or kill someone under it. Do
not increase the force beyond what is required
to close the door. Do not use the force
adjustments to compensate for a binding or
sticking garage door.

Adjustment Label
When to Adjust the Forces
Test the DOWN (close) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door
should reverse. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't
reverse, decrease the DOWN (close) force by
turning the control counterclockwise.
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete cycle.
Test the UP (open) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should
stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,
decrease UP (open) force by turning the control
counterclockwise.
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
stops easily. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet
Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until
door opens completely. Re-adjust the UP limit if
necessary. After each adjustment, run the opener
through a complete travel cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle
and the opener lights aren't flashing
Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the
door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment,
run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

WARNING
Force adjustment controls are located on the back
panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings
regulate the amount of power required to open and
close the door.
The door will stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the
down direction if anything interferes with its travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be
interrupted by
nuisance reversals in the down
direction and stops in the up direction. Weather
conditions can affect the door movement, so
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 with a screwdriver.
