Keep garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors must
be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables, pulleys,
brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and
can cause serious personal injury. Do not attempt to loosen,
move or adjust them. Call for garage door service.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing
or servicing a garage door opener.
To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove
all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the
door opener.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local
building and electrical codes. Connect the power supply
cord only to properly earthed mains.
Lightweight doors or fiberglass, aluminum or steel must
be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage. (See
page 4.) The best solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.
The safety reverse system test is very important. Your
garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 50mm (2")
obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the
opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing
garage door. Repeat the test once a month and make any
needed adjustments.
This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.
Door must not extend over public byway during operation.
The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door,
should not exceed 150 N (15kg). If the closing force is
adjusted to more than 150 N, the Protector System must
be installed. Do not use the force adjustments to
compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
Excessive force will interfere with the proper operation of the
Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.
Fasten the caution label adjacent to the lighted door control
button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.
Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage
to garage door.
Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push
buttons) in a location where the garage door is visible, but
out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to
operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious
personal injury from a closing garage door may result from
misuse of the opener.
Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of
obstructions and opener is properly adjusted. No one
should enter or leave the garage while the door is in
motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.
Use manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if
possible, only when the door is closed. Do not use the red
handle to pull the door open or closed.
Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener
before making repairs or removing covers.
