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 and / or
the AGDO damage. Have a qualified person check and if required, make repairs to your garage door before
installing the AGDO. A manually operated garage door is deemed to be well balanced and aligned if it;
i. requires an equivalent amount of applied force to either manually open or close, and
ii. requires no more than 150N (15kg) of applied force to either manually open or close, and
iii. does not rise or fall more than 100mm when released at any point between fully open or fully
closed positions, and
iv. does not rub on or incorrectly make contact with any supporting or surrounding structures.
4. Repairs to the garage door must be carried out by a technically qualified person. Attempting to repair the
garage door without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death and / or
property and / or AGDO damage.
5. Remove or render inoperative all existing locks and ropes prior to installation of the AGDO.
6. The counter balance springs on sectional type garage doors must be lubricated annually between each 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.
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 Engage / Disengage Instruction Tag must remain attached to the Engage / Disengage Cord.
9. Locate the Wall Switch;
i. within site of the garage door, and
ii. at a minimum height of 1.5 meters above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of small
children, and
iii. away from all moving parts of the garage door.
10. The Entrapment Warning Label must be secured in a prominent position adjacent to the Wall Switch.
11. The AGDO must be connected to a properly earthed general purpose 230 ~ 240VAC power outlet which has
been installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
12. Do not connect the AGDO to the power outlet until this manual instructs you to do so.
13. Subsequent to installing and adjusting 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.
14. The correct function of the Safety Obstruction Force System should be checked on a monthly basis.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
15. 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.
16. Never allow children to operate the AGDO.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Never attempt to open or close the garage door by pulling on the Engage / Disengage Cord.
20. Never attempt to make any repairs or remove covers from the AGDO without first disconnecting the power
supply cord from main power supply.
21. 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.
22. 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.
23. Always ensure that the garage door is fully open and stationary before driving in or out of the garage.
24. Always ensure the garage door is fully closed and stationary before moving out of its view.
25. Adjustments to the Safety Obstruction 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 and / or AGDO damage.
26. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the AGDO and garage door at all times.
27. 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.
28. The Safety Obstruction System is designed to work on STATIONARY objects only. Serious personal
injury, death and / or property and / or product damage may occur if the garage door comes into
contact with a moving object while it is opening or closing
Warranty Exclusions
No claims whatsoever will be recognized under the terms of the AGDO’s warranty which pertain to
damage, injury, cost or expense, suffered by persons and / or to property, which either directly or
indirectly arise out of any one of the following occurrences;
a. Failure to install the AGDO in accordance with the captioned instructions and safety
recommendations.
b. The garage door coming into contact with a moving object. (refer Point 28 in the above)
c. The AGDO being used for other than a maximum 4 car residential application.
d. Failure to install the AGDO on a properly balanced well functioning garage door. (refer Point 3
in the above)
e. Failure to adequately lubricate the garage door counter balance springs. (refer point 6 in the
above)
f. Attempting to open or close the garage door by directly pulling on the Engage and / or Disengage
Cord.
g. Manually releasing the garage door in any position other than when it is fully closed.
h. Failure to connect the AGDO to a properly earthed power supply.
i. Electronic or electrical component failure due to over voltage.
j. Note: Light bulbs and Hand Transmitter batteries are not covered under the terms of the AGDO
warranty.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Identifying Garage Door Type
Identify the garage door type and then select the preferred installation type that is best suited to the
application.
Fig 1A Fig 1B Fig 1C
2. Assembling Drive Pole and Power Head
