The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should not exceed 400 N (40kg). If the closing force is more than 400 N, the Protector System must be installed. Do not use the force setting procedure to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.

Excessive force will interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

Permanently fasten the caution label adjacent to the lighted door control button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to garage door.

Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push buttons) in a location where the garage door is

visible, at a height of at least 1,5m and out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious personal

injury from a closing garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Use manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed. Do not use the

red handle to pull the door open or closed.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before making repairs or removing covers.

This product is provided with a power supply cord of special design which, if damaged, must be replaced by a power supply cord of the same type; such a power supply cord may be obtained from your local LiftMaster distributor and must be fitted by a specialist.

Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Read these instructions carefully

• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.

These safety alert symbols mean Caution – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions carefully.

WARNING: If your garage has no service entrance door, Model 1702E Outside Quick Release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

Keep garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors

must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury. Do not attempt to loose, move or adjust them. Call for garage door service.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing or servicing a garage door opener.

To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,

remove all ropes connected to the garage door

before installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes. Connect the power

supply cord only to properly earthed mains.

Lightweight doors of fiberglass, aluminum or steel must be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage. (See page 4.) The best solution is to check

with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.

The safety reverse system test is very important.

Your garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 40mm 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 needed adjustments.

This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Position the Opener

NOTE: A 25mm (1") board (1) is convenient for setting an ideal doorto-rail distance (unless headroom is not sufficient).

Raise the opener onto a stepladder. Open garage door. Place a 25mm (1") board (1) laid flat on the top section of door near the centerline as shown. Rest the rail on the board.

If the raised door hits the trolley, pull down on the trolley release arm to disconnect the inner and outer trolley sections. The trolley can remain disconnected until connecting door arm to trolley is completed.

Hang the Opener

The opener must be securely fastened to a structural support of the garage.

Three representative installations are shown. Yours may be different. Hanging brackets (1) should be angled (Figure A) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, (Figure B) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied) (4) to a structural support before installing the opener. For concrete ceiling mount, (Figure C), use concrete anchors (5) provided.

On each side of opener measure the distance from the opener to the structural support (or ceiling).

Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the bracket holes. Drill 4,5mm (3/16") pilot holes in the structural supports (or ceiling). Attach flattened ends of brackets to supports with wood screws (2).

Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw, lock washer and nut (3). Check to make sure rail is centered over the door. Remove 25mm (1") board. Operate door manually. If door hits the rail, raise header bracket. Use rail grease and lubricate bottom surface of rail (6).

Attach Emergency Release Rope & Handle

Thread one end of rope (1) through hole in top of red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side up as shown (3). Secure with an overhand knot (2). Knot should be at least 25mm (1") from end of the rope to prevent slipping.

Thread other end of rope through hole in release arm of the outer trolley (4). Adjust rope length so that handle is 1,8m (6 feet) above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut rope, heat seal cut end with a match or lighter to prevent fraying.

Attach Rail to Header Bracket

Position opener on garage floor below the header bracket. Use packing material to protect the cover. Raise rail until holes in the header sleeve and holes in the header bracket align. Join with clevis pin (1). Insert ring fastener (2) to secure.

NOTE: To enable the rail to clear sectional door springs, it may be necessary to lift opener onto a temporary support. The opener must either be secured to a support or held firmly in place by another person.

INSTALLATION SECTION
