TRAVEL CYCLE. No limit adjustments are necessary
when the door opens and closes completely and doesn't
reverse unintentionally when fully closed.
The following chart outlines adjustment procedures. Run the opener through a COMPLETE TRAVEL
CYCLE AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: REPEATED OPERATION OF THE OPENER DURING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES MAY CAUSE
MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT OFF. SIMPLY WAIT 15 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN.
