the Remote Control away from children .
3 Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and
objects until the door is completely closed .
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR .
4 NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR .

a 1-1/2” high object (or a 2” x 4” board laid flat) at the center of the
doorway on the floor . After adjusting either the Force or the Limit
of travel, retest the Door Opener . Failure to adjust the Opener

Weak or broken springs are capable of increasing the rate of door
closure and increasing the risk of severe injury or death .
