buttons can be used to move the door as needed.

To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.
Your garage door opener is designed with electronic controls to make setup and
adjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the door will stop in the
open (UP) and close (DOWN) position. The electronic controls sense the amount of force
required to open and close the door. The force is adjusted automatically when you
program the travel.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel it will stop. If anything
interferes with the door’s downward travel, it will reverse.
