REGULATIONS ARE CONSIDERED AND ADHERED TO.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a
person responsible for their safety.
Do not wear watches, rings or loose clothing while installing or servicing a garage door opener. Ensure that
gloves, safety goggles and suitable protective clothing is worn where appropriate.
The opener must not be installed in a wet or damp space exposed to weather.
Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Binding,
sticking or unbalanced doors must be repaired before installing this 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 accordance with your local building and electrical codes.
Install the wireless remote control (transmitter) in a location where the garage door is visible, at a height of no
less than 1.5m and out of reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push buttons or transmitters.
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 on manual release
cord as a reminder of safe operating procedures.
Use the manual release only for the separation of the carriage from the drive and, if possible, only when the
door is in the closed position. Do not use the release cord or carriage to push the door up or pull it down.
Operation of the manual release can lead to uncontrolled movements of the door if springs are weak or
damaged, or if the door is unbalanced. The release handle should be installed at a height less than 1.8m from
the floor.
Ensure that the safety reverse system is tested every month. The garage door must reverse on contact with a
50mm high object placed on the floor. Adjust if necessary and repeat test. Failure to adjust properly may result
in serious personal injury from a closing garage door.
Disconnect electric power to the door opener before making repairs.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid hazard.
Frequently examine the door installation paying particular attention to the cables, springs and mountings for
signs of wear, damage or imbalance. Springs and hardware are under extreme tension and a fault can cause
serious personal injury. Do not use if repair or adjustment is needed.
Ensure that the opener is operated only when 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. Keep remotes away from children.
The door may operate unexpectedly, therefore do not allow anything to stay in the path of the door.
