IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
15. Never use the AGDO unless the garage door is in full view and free from any object which may impede the
movement of the garage door such as cars, children and / or adults.
16. Never allow children to operate the AGDO.
17. Never operate the AGDO when any persons are under or near the path of the garage door. Children must be
supervised at all times when near the garage door and when the AGDO is in use.
18. Never attempt to disengage the AGDO to manual operation when there are children / persons and / or solid
objects including motor vehicles under or near the path of the garage door as the garage door may fall sharply
upon manual release from the AGDO.
19. Never attempt to open or close the garage door by pulling on the Engage / Disengage Cord.
20. Never attempt to make any repairs or remove covers from the AGDO without first disconnecting the power
supply cord from main power supply.
21. Removal of the AGDO’s protective covers must only be performed by a technically qualified person.
Attempting to remove the protective covers or repair the AGDO without suitable technical qualification may
result in severe personal injury, death and / or property damage.
22. For additional safety we strongly recommend the inclusion of Safety Beams. Although the AGDO
incorporates a pressure sensitive Safety Obstruction Force system the addition of Safety Beams will greatly
enhance the operating safety of an automatic garage door and provide additional peace of mind. In some
countries it is a mandate of law to fit Safety Beams. It is the sole responsibility of the owner / installer to fit
Safety Beams in those countries that so require.
23. Always ensure that the garage door is fully open and stationary before driving in or out of the garage.
24. Always ensure the garage door is fully closed and stationary before moving out of its view.
25. Adjustments to the Safety Obstruction Force settings must only be carried out by a technically qualified
person. Attempting to adjust the settings without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal
injury, death and / or property and / or AGDO damage.
26. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the AGDO and garage door at all times.
27. In order for the Safety Obstruction Force system to function it must first encounter an obstruction in the form
of an object / person on to which some force MUST be exerted. As a result the object / person / garage door
may suffer DAMAGE AND / OR INJURY.
28.
The Safety Obstruction System is designed to work on STATIONARY objects only. Serious personal
injury, death and / or property and / or product damage may occur if the garage door comes into
contact with a moving object while it is opening or closing
