Without a properly working safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage
door.
• The gap between the bottom of the garage door and
the floor MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise,
the safety reversal system may not work properly.
• The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to
eliminate the gap.
