START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
•Failure tocomplywiththe following instructionsmayresultinserious personal injury orproperty damage.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully.
• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed and
operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.
These safety alert symbols mean WARNING : A possible risk to personal safety or
property damage exists.
Keep 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, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
The Protector SystemTMmust 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.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a CM1702 outside quick release must be installed.
This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

1. Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.
2. Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware (not supplied) may
be required.
3. Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not, model CM1702 Outside Quick Release Accessory is
required. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.
4. Complete the following test to make sure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
• Lift the door about halfway. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking. If your door binds, sticks, or is out of
balance, call a trained door technician.
