22. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Copyright 2008 All Rights Reserved.
C
To ensure continued safe operation and extended life of your operator system, periodic checking for proper operation is necessary. Occasionalmaint-
nance and readjustment of your system may also be needed.
MONTHY:
Check reversal system by performing
“safety reversal test” described in this
manual.
Check proper operation of door by
manually moving door open and closed.
If door binds or sticks, or is out of balance
call for garage door service.
Check and test photo eye safety system
as described in this manual.
ONCE EVERY
YEAR
Keep door rollers, hinges,
and bearings properly
lubricated by following
recommended door
instructions or contacting
a door service company
in your area.
AS NEEDED:
Readjust operator travel limits and force settings as
necessary — due to cold weather, normal wear of door, etc.
The convenient adjustment instruction label on the operator
can be used for any periodic adjustments needed.
Check and readjust belt tension, if necessary, in the unlikely
event that it loses its proper tension during the life of the
operator. Always check the reversal system after any adjust-
ment of travel limits or forces. A door operator that is not
checked could possibly be out of adjustment and be dangerous.
