ADJUSTMENT STEP 3
Test the Safety Reversal System
TEST
• With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) 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.
ADJUST
• If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling
far enough in the down direction. Complete Adjustment
Steps 1 and 2 Programming the Limits and Forces.
NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure limit
adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a
straight up and down position. See Figure 3, page 26.
• Repeat the test.
• When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board
(or 2x4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run the
opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test
adjustment.
• If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test,
call for a trained door systems technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:
Test the Safety Reverse System after:
• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force
controls.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door
(including springs and hardware).
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.
ADJUSTMENT STEP 4
Test The Protector System
(Safety Reversing Sensors)
• Press the remote control push button to open the door.
• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
• Press the remote control push button to close the door.
The door will not move more than an inch (2.5 cm),
and the opener lights will flash.
The garage door opener will not close from a remote if
the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to
the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
If the opener closes the door when the safety
reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are
no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor), call for a
trained door systems technician.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED
or KILLED by a closing garage door.
• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact
with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on
the floor.
