service

have your Garage door opener

serviced by a qualified repair per

son using only identical replace-

ment parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power equipment is

maintained.

Specific Safety Warnings

Maintain labels and nameplates on

the Garage Door Opener. These

carry important safety information. If

unreadable or missing, contact Har-

bor Freight Tools for a replacement.
To avoid serious personal injury from

entanglement, remove all ropes con-

nected to the Garage Door Opener

before installing the unit. Installation

and wiring must be in compliance

with your local building and electri-

cal codes. Connect the Power Cord

of this unit only to properly earthed

mains.
Keep the Garage Door Opener bal-

anced. Sticking or binding doors

must be repaired or replaced. Ga-

rage doors, door springs, cables, pul-

leys, brackets and their hardware are

under extreme tension and can cause

serious personal injury. Do not at-

tempt to loosen, move or adjust them.

Instead, have a qualified service

technician perform the adjustments

and repairs.
The “safety reverse system test” is

very important. The Garage Door

Opener MUST reverse on contact

with a 1-1/2” obstacle placed on the

floor. Failure to properly adjust the

Garage Door Opener may result in

serious personal injury from a closing

Garage Door. Repeat the test once a

month and make any needed adjust-

ments.
The Garage Door Opener must not

extend over a public byway during

operation.
Fasten the “CHILD WARNING” label

adjacent to the lighted door control

button as a reminder of safe operat-

ing procedures. Disengage all exist-

ing garage door locks to avoid dam-

age to the Garage Door Opener.
Any Garage Door Opener control

buttons (if installed) MUST be located

where the Garage Door is visible,

but out of the reach of children. Do

not allow children to operate control

buttons or Remote Controls. Serious

personal injury from a closing Garage

Door may result from misuse of the

Opener.
Activate Remote Controls ONLY

when the Garage Door Opener is

in full view, free of obstructions and

the Opener is properly adjusted. No

one should enter or leave the garage

while the Door is in motion. Do not

allow children to play near the Door.
Use the Manual Release only to

disengage the Trolley and, if possible,

only when the Door is closed. Do not

use the red Handle to pull the Door

open or closed.
