LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS:
Weather conditions may cause
some minor changes in door
operation requiring some
re-adjustments, particularly during
the first year of operation.
Pages 23 and 24 refer to the limit
and force adjustments. Only a
screwdriver is required. Follow
the instructions carefully.
Repeat the safety reverse test
(Adjustment Step 3, page 25)
after any adjustment of limits or force.

To Open the Door Manually
The door should be fully closed if
possible. Pull down on the
emergency release handle and lift
the door manually. To reconnect
the door to the opener, press the
door control push bar.
The
lockout feature
prevents the
trolley from reconnecting
automatically. Pull the emergency
release handle down and back
(toward the opener). The door can
then be raised and lowered
manually as often as necessary.
To disengage the lockout feature,
pull the handle straight down. The
trolley will reconnect on the next
UP or DOWN operation, either
manually or by using the door
control or remote.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway
is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.
