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.

Disengage all existing garage door locks

to avoid

damage to garage door.

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. The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.

Serious personal injury from a closing

garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Permanently fasten the Warning Label adjacent to the
wall control 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.

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

WARNING

– a personal safety or property damage instruction.

Read these instructions carefully.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a C1702 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

. Do not let the garage

door opener compensate for a binding or sticking
garage door. Sticking or binding doors must be
repaired. Garage doors, door springs, brackets and
their hardware are under extreme tension and can
cause serious personal injury.

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, 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.

Take care when operating the manual release as an
open door may fall rapidly due to weak or broken
springs, or being out of balance.

The drive must not be used on a wicket door (door
within a door)

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

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

• 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 discover if there are any
sticking or binding points.

• If your door spring does not hold the door in place or the

door binds or sticks, call a qualified door technician before

automating the door.

• 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 shaft to the door bracket is tightly
secured.

Installing the weight bar

• Place the weight in the centre of the door. Use a Pencil to
mark the two hole positions.

• Drill two 5.5mm through the two marked position, then
place the weight bar inside.

• Use the 5mm bolts, washers and nuts to fasten the weight
bar in place.
