IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION IN-
STRUCTIONS.
Install only on a properly balanced garage door.
An improperly balanced door could cause severe
injury. Have a qualified service person make re-
pairs to cables, spring assemblies and other
hardware before installing opener.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, use this
operator only with sectional overhead doors.
Fiberglass, aluminum and steel doors must be re-
inforced to prevent damage to the door. Check
with your garage door manufacturer for their rec-
ommendations.
Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative
all locks connected to the garage door before in-
stalling opener.
Do not use sensitivity adjustments to compensate
for a poorly operating door. This will interfere
with the proper operation of the safety reverse
mechanism and may damage the door.
Locate control button: within sight of door, at a
minimum height of 5 feet, so small children can-
not reach it, and away from all moving parts of the
door.
If possible, install door opener 7 feet or more
above floor. Mount the emergency release knob 6
feet above the floor.
Do not connect opener to source of power until
instructed to do so.
Installation and wiring must comply with local
building and electrical codes. Connect the power
cord to a properly grounded outlet. Do not re-
move round ground pin from power cord.
Install entrapment warning label next to control
button in a prominent location, such as the inside
of the garage door, or as instructed in the installa-
tion instructions. If label adhesive will not adhere
to the surface, secure the label by additional me-
chanical means such as staples, nails or screws.
If necessary, use an intermediate mounting sur-
face, such as plywood, cut to the appropriate size.
Install Emergency Release tag to the emergency
red cord.
After installing opener, the door must reverse
when it contacts a 1 inch high solid test object on
the floor.
Open door must not close and closing door must
open if photoelectric system in obstructed by 6”
High object, using test procedure described in

tem. Use a sturdy, non-metallic step ladder.
