4.4 Check Operation of Door Before Beginning the
Installation of the Shed Master.
The door must be well balanced and be in a reasonable
operating condition. Install only on a properly balanced
garage door. An improperly balanced door has the potential
to inflict severe injury. Have a qualified service person make
repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware
before installing the opener. You should be able to lift the
door smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open
around 3 feet (900mm) to 4 feet (1200mm) above the floor.
The door should not stick or bind in the guide tracks. The
ideal operational effort in raising or lowering the door should
not exceed a force of 20kg (44lb). Make sure that all door
locks, ropes, chains etc. are either released or disabled and
remove unnecessary accessories.
