GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
(Translation of the original instructions in full)
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
•
Install only on a properly operating and balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door has the potential to inflict severe
injury.
- For vertically sliding doors: have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware
before installing the opener.
- For horizontally sliding doors: have a qualified service person make repairs and hardware adjustments before installing the
opener.
• Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks connected to the garage door before installing the operator.
• For “Commercial/industrial door operators (or systems)”: moving parts capable of causing injury to persons or employs a motor
deemed indirectly accessible by virtue of its location above the floor shall include:
- a) Install the door operator at least 2.44 m (8 ft) or more above the floor; or
- b) If the operator must be installed less than 2.44 m (8 ft) above the floor, then exposed moving parts must be protected by
covers or guarding, provided by the operator manufacturer; or
- c) Both (a) and (b).
• Where possible, install the door operator 2.14 m (7 ft) or more above the floor. For products having an emergency release,
mount the emergency release within reach, but at least 1.83 m (6 ft) above the floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to avoid
accidental release.
• Do not connect the door operator to source of power until instructed to do so.
• Locate the control button: (a) within sight of the door, (b) at a minimum height of 1.53 m (5 ft) above floors, landings, steps or
any other adjacent walking surface so small children are not able to reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
• Install the Entrapment Warning Label next to the control button in a prominent location. Install the Emergency Release Marking.
Attach the marking on or next to the emergency release.
• After installing the opener, the door must reverse when it contacts a 38-mm (1-1/2-inch) high object (or a 2 by 4 board laid flat)
on the floor.
• For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the operation of the manual release.
• Only enable [+] feature when installed with a sectional door.”, where + is the unattended operation function.
• This operator not equipped for permanent wiring. Contact licensed electrician to install a suitable receptacle if one is not
available.
•
Before commencing the installation, check the “Product technical specifications”, in particular whether this product is suitable for automating
your guided part. Should it not be suitable, do NOT proceed with the installation.
•
The product cannot be used before it has been commissioned as specified in the “Testing and commissioning” chapter.
•
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, check that all the materials are in good working order and suited to the intended applications.
• ATTENTION! In order to avoid any danger from inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-off device, this appliance must not be
powered through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a supply that is regularly powered or switched
off by the circuit.
•
The system’s power supply network must include a disconnection device (not supplied) with a contact opening gap permitting complete
disconnection under the conditions envisaged by Overvoltage Category III.
•
Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to avoid crushing, denting or dropping it, or allowing contact with liquids of any
kind. Keep the product away from sources of heat and naked flames. Failure to observe the above can damage the product, and increase the
risk of danger or malfunction. Should this happen, stop installation immediately and contact Customer Service.
•
The manufacturer declines all liability for damages to property, objects or people resulting from failure to observe the assembly instructions. In
such cases, the warranty for material defects shall not apply.
•
The weighted sound pressure level of the emission A is lower than 70 dB(A).
•
Before working on the system (maintenance, cleaning), always disconnect the product from the mains power supply.
•
Inspect the system frequently, in particular the cables, springs and supports to detect any imbalances and signs of wear or damage. Do not
use the product if it needs to be repaired or adjusted, because defective installation or incorrect balancing of the automation can lead to
injuries.
•
The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
•
The product must not be installed outdoors.
•
Prior to installing the drive motor, check that the door is in good working order, correctly balanced and that it opens and closes properly.
•
Prior to installing the motor, remove all unnecessary cables or chains and deactivate any equipment – such as locking devices – not required
for motorised operation.
•
Check that there are no points where people could get trapped or crushed against fixed parts when the door is fully open or closed; if there
are, arrange adequate protective measures for these parts.
•
After installation, make sure that the motor prevents or stops opening of the door when the latter is loaded with a 20-kg weight secured to the
centre of its bottom edge (for drive motors that can be used with doors having opening widths exceeding 50 mm).
•
After installation, make sure that the mechanism is properly adjusted and that the motor reverses when the door collides with a 38mm (1inch
1/2) -tall object placed on the ground (for drive motors incorporating a trapping safety system that intervenes when the bottom edge of the
door encounters an obstacle).
•
Following installation, check and ensure that no door parts obstruct public roadways or pavements.
