IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND / OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ADHERE TO ALL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
2. The installation of your new Automatic Garage Door Opener (herein after referred to as “AGDO”)
must be carried out by a technically qualified or licensed person. Attempting to install or repair the
AGDO without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death and / or
property damage.
3. The AGDO must only be installed on a properly balanced well functioning garage door. An improperly
balanced or malfunctioning garage door could cause serious personal injury, death and / or property damage.
Have a qualified person check and if required, make repairs to your garage door before installing the AGDO.
The garage door is deemed to be well balanced and aligned if it;
a. requires an equivalent amount of applied force to either manually open or close, and
b. requires no more than 150N (15kg) of applied force to either manually open or close, and
c. does not rise or fall more than 100mm when released at any point between fully open or fully closed
positions, and
d. does not rub on or incorrectly make contact with any supporting or surrounding structures, and
e. the horizontal tracks have been installed level, and
f. the door panels have been installed level, and
g. the vertical tracks have been installed plum, and
h. the junction between the curved horizontal track and the vertical track does not cause the door to “jump”
4. The counter balance springs on sectional type garage doors must be properly lubricated between all of the
coils with heavy automotive bearing grease. Failure to adequately lubricate the springs may result in one or
more of the following symptoms:
a. Counter balance springs may become rusty over time resulting in additional operating friction between
the coils which may cause the AGDO to malfunction.
b. Seasonal temperature changes may cause the garage door springs to expand and / or contract. The
resultant increase and / or decrease in operating friction may cause the AGDO to malfunction. Properly
lubricating the springs will help to minimize changes in operating friction due to the effects of seasonal
temperature change.
5. Remove or render inoperative all existing locks and ropes prior to installation of the AGDO.
6. Repairs to the garage door must be carried out by technically qualified persons. Attempting to repair the
garage door without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death and / or
property damage.
7. Where possible, install the AGDO at least 2 meters or more above the ground. Adjust the Engage / Disengage
Cord so that it hangs approximately 1.8 meters from the ground.
8. The Header Bracket carries ALL of the opening and closing thrust of the AGDO and as such must be securely
fastened to a rigid, structural member of the garage wall or ceiling. It is entirely up to the installer to determine
the fixing method and the structural suitability of the fixing points.
9. The ceiling structure must be adequate to support the weight of the GDO. It is entirely up to the installer to
determine the structural suitability of the fixing points.
10. The Engage / Disengage Instruction Tag must remain attached to the Engage / Disengage Cord.
11. Locate the Wall Switch;
a. within site of the garage door, and
b. at a minimum height of 1.5 meters above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of small children,
and
c. away from all moving parts of the garage door
12. The Entrapment Warning Label must be secured in a prominent position adjacent to the wall switch.
13. The AGDO must be connected to a properly earthed general purpose 230 ~ 240VAC power outlet which has
been installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
14. Do not connect the AGDO to the power outlet until this manual instructs you to do so..

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
15. Subsequent to installation and adjustment, the AGDO the garage door must stop and reverse direction when
it comes into contact with a 35mm high solid object placed on the floor under the garage door.
16. The correct function of the Safety Obstruction Force System should be checked on a monthly basis.
17. Never use the AGDO unless the garage door is in full view and free from any object which may impede the
movement of the garage door such as cars, children and / or adults.
18. Never allow children to operate the AGDO.
19. Never operate the AGDO when any persons are under or near the path of the garage door. Children must be
supervised at all times when near the garage door and when the AGDO is in use.
20. Never attempt to disengage the AGDO to manual operation when there are children / persons and / or solid
objects including motor vehicles under or near the path of the garage door as the garage door may fall sharply
upon Manual Release from the AGDO.
21. Never attempt to open or close the garage door by pulling on the Engage / Disengage Cord.
22. Never attempt to make any repairs or remove covers from the AGDO without first disconnecting the power
supply cord from main power supply.
23. Removal of the AGDO’s protective covers must only be performed by a technically qualified person.
Attempting to remove the protective covers or repair the AGDO without suitable technical qualification may
result in severe personal injury, death and / or property damage.
24. For additional safety we strongly recommend the inclusion of Safety Beams. Although the AGDO
incorporates a pressure sensitive Safety Obstruction Force system the addition of Safety Beams will greatly
enhance the operating safety of an automatic garage door and provide additional peace of mind. In some
countries it is a mandate of law to fit Safety Beams. It is the sole responsibility of the owner / installer to fit
Safety Beams in those countries that so require.
25. Always ensure that the garage door is fully open & stationary before driving in or out of the garage.
26. Always ensure the garage door is fully closed and stationary before moving out of its view.
27. Adjustments to the Safety Stop / Reverse Force settings must only be carried out by a technically qualified
person. Attempting to adjust the settings without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal
injury, death and / or property damage.
28. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the AGDO and garage door at all times.
29. In order for the Safety Obstruction Force system to function it must first encounter an obstruction in the form
of an object / person on to which some force MUST be exerted. As a result the object / person / garage door
may suffer DAMAGE AND / OR INJURY.
30. The Safety Obstruction System is designed to work on STATIONARY objects only. Serious personal
injury, death and / or property damage may occur if the garage door comes into contact with a moving
object during an open or close cycle

Important Note: Before commencing the installation ensure that you have carefully read and
understood the Safety Recommendations outlined in pages 4 and 5 of this manual. In particular,
ensure that the installation of the garage door complies with the requirements specified in points 3, 4
and 5. Make any necessary adjustments to the garage door BEFORE commencing the installation!
Determine the highest arcing point of the garage door and mark this as a horizontal line on the header above
the top edge of the garage door. (Figs.4 & 5)
Determine the Garage Door Center Line and mark a vertical line on the header above the door. (Fig.5)
Place the Header Bracket on the wall as depicted in Fig.5 and ensure that the bottom edge of the bracket is
no more than 50mm above the Highest Arcing Point. Mark the location of the 2 outer most screw holes.
Drill 2 screw holes and use screws of at least 8mm dia. x 50mm long to secure Header Bracket to Header.
Important Notes:
a. The Header Bracket carries ALL of the opening and closing thrust of the AGDO and as such
must be securely fastened to a rigid, structural member of the garage. It is entirely up to the
installer to determine the fixing method and the structural suitability of the fixing points.
b. Mounting the Drive Rail more than 50mm above the Highest Arcing Point of the garage door
may cause the Drive Rail to flex excessively. Always ensure that the bottom edge of the Drive
Rail is located within 50mm of the top edge of the top panel of the garage door. (Fig.7)
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
5. Towing Bracket Mounting
Determine the Garage Door Center Line (Fig.5) and affix the Towing Bracket to a structural member of the
garage door. The Towing Bracket should be mounted with reference to the top edge of the garage door in
accordance with the appropriate diagram as depicted in Sec.1.
Mark the location of the holes. (4 holes if using self drilling screws – 2 holes if using screws with nuts)
Drill the screw holes with an appropriate drill and securely mount the Towing Bracket to the garage door
