Check the Door
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
l
ALWAYS call a trained door systems
technician if garage door binds, sticks,
or is out of balance. An unbalanced
garage door may NOT reverse when
required.
l
NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust
garage door, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets or their hardware,
ALL of which are under EXTREME
tension.
l
Disable ALL locks and remove
ALL ropes connected to garage door
BEFORE installation and operating
garage door opener to avoid
entanglement.
To prevent damage to garage door and
opener:
l
ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE
installing and operating the opener.
l
ONLY operate garage door opener at
120V, 60 Hz to avoid malfunction and
damage.
1. Disable locks and remove any ropes
connected to the garage door.
2. Lift the door halfway up. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place,
supported entirely by its springs.
3. Raise and lower the door to check for
binding or sticking. If your door binds,
sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained
door systems technician.
4. Check the seal on the bottom of the door.
Any gap between the floor and the
bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4 inch (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
5. The opener should be installed above
the center of the door. If there is a torsion
spring or center bearing plate in the way
of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.2 m) to the left or right of
the door center. See page 7.
