Test the Safety Reversal System

TEST
1. With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board (or a 2x4 laid fl at) on the
fl oor, centered under the garage door.
2. Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on striking the
obstruction. Upon successful safety reversal test proceed to Adjustment Step 4.
ADJUST
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction.
Complete Adjustment Steps 1 and 2 Program the Travel Limits and Set the Force.
Repeat the test.
When the door reverses on the 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board (or 2x4 laid fl at), remove the
obstruction and run the garage door opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to
test adjustment.
If the garage door opener continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call for a trained door
systems technician.

Test the Safety Reverse System after:
• Each adjustment of limits, or force controls.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door (including springs and hardware).
