WARNING!
Risk of injury by rapidly closing door
If the pull cord knob is pulled while the door is open, there is a risk that the door could close quickly because of weak,
broken, or defective springs or due to faulty counterbalance mechanism. The pull cord should only be pulled while the door
is closed.
Risk of injury during door movement
While the door is moving, the risk of injury to persons or damage to objects is increased while standing in the movement
area of the door. Keep door operator system and remote controls out of reach of children. Ensure that when the door is
moving that no persons or objects are located within the door movement area. Only use the garage door operator when you
have view of the garage door itself and can monitor its movement. Monitor the door travel until the door has reached the end
position. Drive or pass through the garage door entryway ONLY when the door has come to a standstill! Never stand
directly under the open door.
Proper Use
Demonstrate to all persons using the door operator system the proper and safe operation of the garage door operator.
Demonstrate and test the mechanical release as well as the safety return.
6. Precautions for the use of the remote control
WARNING!
Risk of injury from unwanted or accidental door movement
Accidental pressing of a button on the remote control can lead to unwanted door movements and lead to accidental injury.
Make sure that remote controls are not accessible to children and are only used by persons who have been instructed in the
operation of the remote-controlled garage door operator system! Only use the remote when you are in visual contact with
the door unless a safety device is connected (e.g. photocell). Drive or pass through the garage door entryway ONLY when
the door has come to a standstill! Never stand directly under the open door. Note that the accidentally pressing a key on the
remote (for example in your pocket / handbag) may lead to an unwanted door travel.
7. Safety Installations
Safety-related functions and components such as automatic power shutdown and the use of external photocells have
been tested and meet the requirements of EN 12453 and EN 12445 standards.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from malfunctioning safety devices
To test the safety reverse, hold the door as it closes with both hands. The garage door operator system must stop and
initiate the safety reverse. Test this also as the garage door opens. The door system must switch off and stop the door
movement. Upon failure of the security reverse, directly entrust an expert with the inspection or repair.
8. Inspection and maintenance
The garage door operator is maintenance-free. According to the manufacturer and for your own safety, we recommend that
you allow the garage door operator system to be inspected by an expert. A check or a necessary repair should only be
performed by a specialist. Please also contact your supplier. A visual inspection may be carried out by the user. Check all
safety and security features on a monthly basis. Existing errors or defects must be rectified immediately. Inspect the tension
of toothed belt every six months and adjust accordingly if necessary. During the opening and closing phase, the belt may loll
briefly because of rail profile. However, this effect does not have any technical losses and also does not adversely affect the
function and life of the belt.
