IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

WARNING 

– to reduce the risk of severe injury or death: 

 

1.  READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
2.  Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is 

operating improperly could cause severe injury. Have qualified service 
personnel make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other 
hardware before installing the operator. 

3.  Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless 

mechanically and/or electrically interlocked to the power unit) that are 
connected to the door before installing the operator. 

4.  Install the door operator at least 8 feet or more above the floor if the 

operator has exposed moving parts. 

5.  Do not connect the door operator to the source of power until instructed 

to do so. 

6.  Locate the control station: (a) within sight of the door, (b) at a minimum 

height of 5 feet so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all 
moving parts of the door. 

7.  Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station in a 

prominent location. 

8.  For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the 

operation of the manual release.
