IMPORTANT! - FOR SYSTEM SECURITY: The motor is designed to pivot down after the door closes
completely. If the motor does not pivot or pivots too soon, the detent may need to be adjusted in order for the
door lock feature to work properly. Proceed to next step: Detent adjustment.
IMPORTANT! Before making any detent pin
adjustments, check the door balance. Door should not
raise off the floor with spring tension alone, nor should
it free fall from any open position.
The amount of pressure the opener uses to pivot the
motor downward is preset at the factory via the detent
pin adjustment screw. Due to variations in door
installations, a detent pin adjustment may need to be
made with a flat head screwdriver in order for proper
pivoting of the motor.
A.) If the motor does not pivot down, or only pivots
down partially, the detent pin is set too hard. Using a
flat head screwdriver, turn the detent pin COUNTER
CLOCKWISE in 1/4 turn increments. Then operate the
door to confirm adjustment. If the motor does not pivot on door closing adjust detent pin again. Repeat procedure
until motor pivots to full down position when the door is completely closed.
B.) If the motor pivots down prematurely (before the door is completely closed) or if the motor is “slapping”
too aggressively against the top of the door, the detent pin is set too soft. Using a flat head screwdriver, turn the
detent pin CLOCKWISE in 1/4 turn increments. Then operate the door to confirm adjustment. If the motor
pivots to soon, adjust detent pin again. Repeat procedure until motor pivots to full down position when the
door is completely closed.

Step 17: Detent Adjustment (if required)
Step 18: Setting the Lock
The opener has built into it a means of locking the door
when in the fully closed position. The motor cover is
designed to act as an obstruction to the door while in
the down position. The lock is adjustable to allow for
proper interface with your door.
The lock ring and lock are assembled to the highest
position. Once the door and opener have been installed
and the opener has been programmed, the lock adjustor
needs to be adjusted. Unscrew the lock adjustor until it
is 1" from the top of the door. Once the lock is set at
desired position, screw the lock ring down to the lock
to prevent it from moving.
Disconnect opener and manually operate the door to
confirm door clears the lock. Reconnect opener and
cycle the door to make sure that the lock adjustor does
not hit the door during the cycle sequence. Adjust the
lock accordingly.
