instructions for future reference.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate the Garage Door b.
Opener in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
equipment creates sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating the Garage
Door Opener. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety2.
The Garage Door Opener’s electri-a.
cal Plug must match the Outlet.
Never modify the Plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter Plugs with
grounded power equipment. Un-
modied Plugs and matching Outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
SKU 65712 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 3
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose the Garage Door c.
Opener to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering power equipment will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. d.
Never use the Cord for unplugging
the Garage Door Opener. Keep the
Cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled Cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
If operating the Garage Door Open-e.
er in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating the Garage Door Opener.
Do not use power equipment while
you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power equipment may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment b.
when assembling the Garage Door
Opener. Wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Do not overreach when assem-c.
bling the Garage Door Opener.
Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better
control of the power equipment in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly when assembling d.
the Garage Door Opener. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Power equipment use and care4.
Do not force the Garage Door a.
Opener. Use the correct power
equipment for your application.
The correct power equipment will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
Do not use the Garage Door Open-b.
er if the Remote Controls do not
turn it on and off. Any power equip-
ment that cannot be controlled with
its Remote Control is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the electrical Plug from c.
the power source before making
any adjustments, or changing accessories. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power equipment accidentally.
Store the Remote Controls out of d.
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
Garage Door Opener or these instructions to operate the product.
Power equipment is dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain the Garage Door Opener. e.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that
may affect the power equipment’s

operation. If damaged, have the
power equipment repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power equipment.
Service5.
Have your Garage Door Opener a.
serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power equipment is
maintained.
Specic Safety Warnings

must be repaired or replaced. 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.
Instead, have a qualied service
technician perform the adjustments
and repairs.
The “safety reverse system test” is 4.
very important. The Garage Door
Opener MUST reverse on contact
with a 1-1/2” obstacle placed on the
oor. Failure to properly adjust the
Garage Door Opener may result in
serious personal injury from a closing
Garage Door. Repeat the test once a
month and make any needed adjustments.

sharp objects, excessive heat, and
damp or wet areas.
Double insulated equipment may be 2.
used in either of the 120 volt Outlets
shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
Double Insulated equipment can use 1.
either a two or three wire Extension
Cord.
As the distance from the supply Out-2.
let increases, you must use a heavier
gauge Extension Cord. Using Extension Cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible equipment damage.
(See Table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the 3.
wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge Cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge Cord. (See Table A.)
