OPERATION TESTING THE AUTOMATIC REVERSAL SYSTEM See Figure 80. DANGER: Test the automatic reversal system every month and after any adjustments are made to the garage door travel limits. If the door contacts an object higher than 1-1/2 in. off the garage floor (approx. the size of a 2x4 laid flat), it should stop and reverse to the fully open position. If the automatic reversal system does not function properly, a closing garage door could kill or seriously injure someone in its path. WARNING: DO NOT operate the garage door opener unless the automatic reversal system is working correctly. Following this rule will reduce the risk of death or serious personal injury.  Press and release the UP/DOWN button on the indoor keypad to raise the garage door.  Place a 1-1/2 in. board (approx. the size of a 2x4 laid flat) on the garage floor beneath the door.  Press and release the UP/DOWN button on the indoor keypad to lower the garage door. When the door strikes the board, it should reverse direction immediately. NOTE: After the door contacts the board, a buzzer will sound five times and the garage door opener's LED lights blink five times.  If the garage door reverses direction after contacting the board, the reversal system is working properly and no adjustments are needed.  If the garage door stops before striking the board or strikes the board and then stops, increase the travel limit for the closed position and repeat the test.  If the automatic reversal system continues to fail, contact customer service or a qualified service person for assistance.
