Purple/Back and Yellow/Black Buttons to Set Travel

If the door is not closing, check the garage door opener for sensor indicators before setting travel limits. For garage door openers manufactured after January 2022 verify LED safety sensors are on, the lights on the garage door opener will not blink 10 times. For example: “Does the garage door opener motor unit click or the main lights flash 10 times?”.

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down. These settings must be programmed when first installing the garage door opener. Follow the steps below to set the limits.


WARNING
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.
  • Too much force on the garage door will interfere with proper operation of the safety reversal system.
  • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
  • After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure the fully open door provides adequate clearance.
 

To Program the Travel Limits:

Program the position of the door by using the black-and-purple or black-and-yellow buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and purple/yellow moves the door DOWN (close).

Setting the UP Position

  1. Press and hold the black button until the yellow indicator light starts flashing slowly, then release.
  2. Push and hold the black button until the door reaches the desired UP (open) position.
    NOTE: Check to be sure the door opens high enough for your vehicle.
  3. Push the remote control or door control. This sets the UP (open) limit and begins closing the door.
  4. Immediately when the door begins to move down, press and release either the black or purple/yellow button. This will stop the door.

Setting the DOWN Position

  1. Push and hold the purple/yellow button until the door reaches the desired DOWN (closed) position.
  2. Once the door is closed, if there appears to have too much pressure on the door, you may toggle the door back and forth using the black-and-purple/yellow buttons to reach the desired closed position.
  3. Push the remote control or the door control. This sets the DOWN (close) limit and should bring the door to the open position.

Setting the Force

  1. Push the purple/yellow button twice to enter Force Adjustment Mode. The LED Indicator light will flash quickly.
  2. Push the remote control or control console. The door will travel to the DOWN (close) position.
  3. Push the remote control or control console again; the door will travel to the UP (open) position.
  4. Push the remote control or control console a third time to send the door to the DOWN (close) position.
  5. The LED Indicator Light will stop flashing when the force has been learned.

The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and DOWN, in order for the force to be set properly. If the opener cannot open and close your door fully, inspect your door to insure that it is balanced properly and not sticking or binding.
