Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a E1702M outside quick release must be installed. This
accessory allows manual operation of the garage
door from outside in case of power failure.
Install the wireless wall control (or any additional wall control) in
a location where the garage door is visible, at a height of at
least 1.5 m and out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate push button(s) or transmitter(s). Serious
personal injury from a closing garage door may result from
misuse of the opener.
Permanently fasten the Warning Labels in Prominent Places,
adjacent to Wall Controls and on manual release mechanism as
a reminder of safe operating procedures.
Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of
obstructions and the opener is properly adjusted. No one
should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion.
Automatic Door- The door may operate unexpectedly, therefore
do not allow anything to stay in the path of the door.
Do not allow children to play near the door, or with door
controls. Keep remotes away from children.
Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before
making repairs or removing covers.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid hazard.
This opener should not be installed in a damp or wet space
exposed to weather.
To avoid damage to very light doors (such as fibreglass,
aluminium or steel doors), an appropriate reinforcement should
be added. To do so, contact the door manufacturer.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully.
• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service, provided it is installed and operated in strict
accordance with the instructions in this manual.
These safety alert symbols mean WARNING : A possible risk to personal safety or property
damage exists.
Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the garage door
opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.
Sticking, binding or unbalanced doors must be repaired
before installing this opener.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while
installing or servicing a garage door opener. Wear gloves,
safety goggles and suitable protective clothing where
appropriate.
Frequently examine the door installation, in particular
cable, springs and mountings for signs of wear, damage or
imbalance. Do not use if repair or adjustment is needed
since springs and hardware are under extreme tension
and a fault can cause serious personal injury.
To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,
remove all ropes, chains and locks connected to the
garage door before installing the door opener.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your
local building and electrical codes.
The safety reverse system test is very important. Your
garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 40 mm
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 necessary adjustments.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Use the Manual Release only for the separation of the
carriage from the drive and - if possible - ONLY with the
door closed. Do not use the red handle to push the door
up or pull it down. Operation of the emergency release can
lead to uncontrolled movements of the door, if springs are
weak or broken or if the door is unbalanced. Mount the
release handle of the emergency release at a height less
than 1.8 m from the floor.
After installation, ensure that the parts of the door do
not extend over public footpaths or roads.
START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Merlin recommends that “The Protector System
TM
” be
installed on all garage door openers. The “Protector
System
TM
” provides an additional measure of safety against
entrapment and is strongly recommended for homeowners
with young children.
“The Protector System
TM
” must be used for all installations
where the closing force as measured on the bottom of the
door is over 400 N (40 kgf). Excessive force will interfere with
the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage
the garage door.
Installers should ensure that the doors are installed in a
compliant manner as per AS/NZS 60335-2-95.
