FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
The installation of the Automatic Garage Door Opener
(Opener) must be carried out by a technically qualified or
licensed person. Attempting to install the Opener without
suitable technical qualification may result in severe
personal injury, death and/or property damage.
Only install the Opener on a well functioning, properly
balanced and aligned garage door. An improperly balanced or
malfunctioning garage door could cause serious injury. Have
a qualified person check and if required, make repairs to the
door before installing the Opener. As a general rule a garage
door is deemed to be well balanced and aligned if it; A.
requires an equivalent amount of applied force to manually
open or close and, B. requires no more than 150N (15kg) of
applied force to either manually open or close and, C. does
not rise or fall more than 100mm when stopped at any
position between fully open or fully closed positions and, D.
Does not rub on or make contact with any supporting or
surrounding structures.
Repairs to garage doors must only be carried out by
technically qualified persons. Attempting to repair the garage
door without suitable technical qualification may result in
severe personal injury, death and/or property damage.
Remove or render inoperative all existing locks and ropes
prior to installation of the Opener.
Adjust the disengage cord so that it hangs approximately 1.8
meters from the ground. The instruction tag must remain
attached to the disengage cord.
Do not connect the Opener to the power source until this
manual instructs you to do so.
The Opener must be connected to a properly earthed
general purpose 220 - 240V power outlet.
Locate the wall control panel/push button; A. within site of
the garage door and, B. at a minimum height of 1.5 meters
above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of small
children and, C. away from all moving parts of the door.
Affix the entrapment warning label in a prominent position
adjacent to the garage door.
After installing and adjusting the Opener the door must
stop and reverse direction when it comes into contact with
a 40 mm high solid object placed under it on the floor.
The correct function of the safety reversing system should
be checked on a monthly basis. Make sure that the door
reverses easily when it makes contact with an obstruction.
Never use the Opener unless the door is in full view and
free from objects such as cars, children and/or adults.
Never allow children to use the Opener.
Never use the Opener when children/persons are under or
near the path of the door. Children must be supervised at
all times when near the door and when the Opener is in
use.
Never attempt to disengage the Opener when there are
children/persons or and other objects including motor
vehicles under or near the path of the door.
Removal of the screw-on protective covers must only be
performed by a technically qualified person. Attempting to
remove the protective covers or repair the Opener without
suitable technical qualification may result in personal injury,
death and/or property/product damage.
Never attempt to make any repairs or remove any screw-on
covers from the Opener without first disconnecting the
power supply cord from main power supply.
Always ensure that the garage door is fully open before
driving into or out of the garage.
Always ensure the door is fully closed before leaving the
driveway.
Adjustments to the safety reverse force settings must be
carried out in strict accordance with the procedure set out
in this manual. Failure to do so may result in severe
personal injury, death and/or property damage.
Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the door at all times.
For the safety reverse system to function it must first exert
force on an object/person/obstruction. As a result the
object/person/door may suffer damage or injury.
The safety reverse system is designed to work on
STATIONARY objects only. If the door encounters a moving
object during an Open or Close Cycle, serious personal
injury, death and/or property/product damage may occur

hand should not exceed 150N (15kg).
The min and max mounting positions, as measured from the edge of the door curtain to the inner edge of its mounting
bracket are 40 and 50mm.
If the distance is less than 40mm or more than 50mm then door bracket must be moved so as to fall within the bounds of
these 2 dimensions
Determine to which end of the door the Opener will be installed and select the dip switch according to the following:
Left Hand Side Installation - Dip 6 “ON” Right Hand Side Installation - Dip 6 “OFF”
Remove or render inoperative all existing door locks.
Ensure that the door bracket to which the Opener will be installed is the correct distance from the edge of the curtain.
Check and ensure that the fastening U-bolt is securely tightened on the opposite end of the door.

Refit the door mounting bracket to the wall making sure to tighten the mounting bracket screws securely.
Insert the U-bolt supplied through the Opener and door bracket slots and then secure with the nuts and washers provided.
Check the manual operation of the door by fully raising and lowering it several times and ensure it runs smoothly and does not
catch on any part of the Opener
The door curtain must be secured to the drum wheel with self drilling screws at both sides of the door.
With the door fully closed, mark the curtain at points “A” and “B” ensuring that the fixing points are at least 90 deg apart.
Open the door slightly so as to have access to the marked positions then secure the curtain to the drum wheel as depicted.
Ensure screws do not interfere with the running of the door or operator.
Where provided fix the weight bar to the top edge of the door rail with the screws and nuts provided.
Attach the Entrapment Warning Label to the wall in a prominent position adjacent to the Opener.
