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.

On a sectional door, make sure limit
adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a
straight up and down position. See the

illustration on page 26.

• When the door reverses on the one-inch board,

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.

Failure to test and adjust the safety reverse
system may result in serious injury or death to
persons trapped by a dosing garage door.

Repeat this test once a month and adjust as

needed.
