Hi all,
Posting back as promised. I had to get a garage door guy to get my door balanced. However, we found that the limits kept changing each time the garage door was closed or opened. So we looked opened the box and inspected the gear assembly again. We found that the issue with the limit...
Hi Mike,
I think I finally got the limits to work. I was having problems to get the limits to stay. I think it is probably because the garage door is not balanced and may be causing too much drag on the limits. I am going to get the door balanced and post back. For now after a couple of...
Hi Mike,
As you indicated, I have been trying to adjust the limit switches with just the trolley (i.e the door is not connected). . I was able to decrease the down travel limits to position the trolley above the latch which hooks into the garage door. I adjusted the up travel to move the...
Thank you guys. That was the issue with the trolley. It was out of sync. The trolley moves now..but now seems like it is a limit issue. On the opener end the trolley stops much before it hits the stop bolt. On the garage door end it hits the stop bolt hard and then reverses. I assume now I have...
Thanks Mike and nealtw. I will give this a try tomorrow (Friday) and post back. Have been opening and closing the garage door manually for the past two weeks.
The gears rotate fine with the chain off. They rotate completely clockwise and anticlockwise and hit the limit switches as in the first video
With the chain on and with some slack, when I press the wall switch the chain tightens up (the side opposite the adjustment bolt)
When I press the wall...
Yes the side with the adjustment bolt tightens. So basically should I remove the chain and let the motor run without the chain until it hits the other end of the limt and then put the chain back and try.
I ordered the capacitor but based on what you said, it appears that it may be an out of...
I have the garage door disconnected from the trolley. Do the springs still get used when the door is disconnected. I am still learning things :confused:
The adjustment bolt is there...I have attached a photo. When I shot that video with my phone it was initially inverted and I had to rotate it to straighten it out. So I dont know what happened there.
But video # 3 is what puzzles me. With the chain loose (droop), and pressing the wall switch...
