Make Sure That:
1. The front and rear mounts for the opener are sound and secure and the rail is positioned correctly above the
high arc of the door and that the opener is positioned over the door action centerline.
2. For sectional doors and tilt doors, the position of the door arm with the opener closed, is such that its connecting
point on the trolley is 12cm to 20cm behind its connecting point on the door bracket. The door arm should never
be perfectly vertical when the door is in the closed position (there should be an angle of 15-20°).
3. The emergency release knob and cord are secured to the emergency release lever on the trolley. The knob is
located 180cm above the floor and requires no more than 20kgs pull to actuate. The trolley and release
mechanism are properly lubricated.
Recommend: Silicone based lubricant
4. The standard push button is in such a position and at such a height that it can only be actuated by an adult. The
caution label is prominently displayed next to the push button.
5. All wiring is correct to code. There is ground continuity in the supply. The ground prong on the power cord is
intact.
6. All ropes have been removed from the door, and any lock mechanisms removed or disabled. The door moves
freely without binding when operated manually. The door is correctly balanced and lubricated. All door hardware
is secure and sound. The sensitivity has been adjusted to minimum force. The appropriate warning sticker has
been affixed to the door.
7. The door reverses on obstructions to within 5cm of the floor. The floor beneath the closed door provides uniform
contact.
8. The manual is attached to the wall near the push button.
9. On doors with extension type springs, safety restraint cables have been installed through the springs.
10. There is surge protection on the power line to the opener.
