eep 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.

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 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 necessary adjustments.

This opener should not be installed in a damp or wet space exposed to weather.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of theappliance by a person responsible for their safety.

NOTE: If your garage has no service entrance door, a 1702AML outside quick release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

he opener must not be used on a wicket

T door (door within a door).

The Protector System

must be used for all installations where the closing force as measured on the bottom of the door is over 400N (40kgf). Excessive force will

interfere with the proper operation of the safety reverse system or damage the garage door.

After installation, ensure that the parts of the door do not extend over public footpaths or roads.

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 1.5m 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 manual release mechanisms 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.

Do not allow children to play near the door, or door controls.

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

DOOR REQUIREMENTS

The maximum allowable door height is 3.5m with a maximum curtain area of 13.5 m² (door height in metres multiplied by the width in metres). The door must be spring balanced. The Protector System™ (IR Beams) must be installed if the force at the edge of the closing door exceeds 400N

(40kgf). Door axle diameter must not exceed 35mm.

Door area h x w = m

eg. 2.5 x 3 = 7.5m

fig B

Independent clamping method

Ensure that there is at least 45mm from the edge of the curtain to the edge of the bracket. If the roller door

Direct clamping method

drum is on the edge of the curtain or is a smaller diameter, additional clearance may be required.

If the drum is more than 60mm from the curtain edge or of a smaller diameter, extension poles may be required (see section 7).

Different drum and bracket types may result in the minimum side room clearance not being possible and extension poles being required. Ensure there is a power point near the opener.

TESTING THE DOOR

Complete the following test to ensure your door is well balanced, and not sticking or binding:

• Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door.

• Lift the door to about halfway and then release it. The door should remain suspended entirely by its spring.

• Raise and lower the door to determine if there are any sticking or binding points (20 kgf is the absolute maximum allowable to raise or lower the door in any position).

• If your door does not hold in place or it binds or sticks,

call a qualified door technician before installing theopener.

INSTALLING THE STOP COLLAR

• Install stop bracket collar on the opposite end to where the opener is to be installed.

• Fit the stop bracket hard against the boss of the door

drum. Ensure the U-bolt holding the door axle to the door bracket is tightly secured.

INSTALLING THE WEIGHT BAR (PROVIDED)

• Place the weight bar in the centre of the door.

• If the door curtain does not have a lifting handle you will need to drill two 5.5 mm holes through the two marked positions, then place the weight bar on the inside of the door.
