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 with door controls.

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

• Read and follow all instructions carefully.

• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is installed and
o

These safety alert symbols mean WARNING : A possible risk to personal safety or

K

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. Wear gloves, safety goggles and
suitable protective clothing where appropriate.

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.

DOOR REQUIREMENTS

3

Ensure that there is at least 45mm from the edge of the curtain to the edge of the bracket. If the roller door 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, an extension pole kit may be
required.

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.

The maximum allowable door height is 3.5m with a maximum curtain area of 13m² (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.
