HARDWARE PROVIDED

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 loosen,

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 or 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 50mm (2") 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.

Door must not extend over public byway during operation.

The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should not exceed 150 N (15kg). If the closing force is adjusted to more than 150 N, the Protector System must be installed. Do not use the force adjustments 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.

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, but

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.
