FORCE ADJUSTMENT
The operator is equipped with an obstruction sensing feature. If the gate encounters
an obstruction the operator will automatically reverse direction for a short time and
stop. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make force
adjustments. The force adjustment should be high enough that the gate will not
reverse by itself and not cause nuisance interruptions but low enough to prevent
serious injury to a person.
TO ADJUST THE FORCE
Use the SINGLE BUTTON to open and close the gate.
If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position
increase the force by turning the force control slightly. On dual gate
applications the force will require a higher setting because it is affecting two
motors instead of one.
Run operator through a complete cycle.
NOTE: Weather conditions can affect the gate movement, so seasonal adjustment
may be required. The force control is factory set to the mid-position.

The basic installation is complete. Entrapment
protection devices are required (see Entrapment
Protection Devices in the Additional Features section).
TEST
After any adjustments are made, test the operator:
Use the SINGLE BUTTON to open and close the gate.
Test the limits by making sure the gate is stopping at the OPEN and CLOSE
limits.
Test the force by making sure the gate will stop and reverse direction for a
short time on contact with an obstruction.
