MAINTENANCE CHART
Disconnect all power (AC, battery) to the operator before servicing. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the
control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power. ALWAYS disconnect the batteries via the J15 plug to service the operator (refer
page 10).
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and usage. The operator alarm will beep 3 times with a command if the battery
is low. Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years.
Use only Grifco replacement batteries. The operator comes with two 7AH batteries. The batteries contain lead and need to be disposed of
properly. If batteries are leaking, safely remove them and dispose of them properly. See page 9 for instructions.
