3. Installation instructions
3.1. Important installation instructions
In order to reduce the risk of serious injuries or death, please read and follow all instructions
provided!
1) Install only on a properly balanced door. An improperly balanced door has the potential to
inflict severe injury. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies,
and other hardware before installing the opener!
2) Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before
installing opener!
3) Where possible, install the operator 2.1 meters or more above the floor. For products having an
emergency release, mount the emergency release approx. 1.8 meters above the floor!
4) Do not connect the opener to source of power until instructed to do so!
5) Locate the control button:
• Within sight of door
• At a minimum height of 1.5 meters so small children are not able to reach it, and
• Away from all moving parts of the door
6) Install the entrapment warning label next to the control button in a prominent location. Use
staple gun to secure label to surfaces to which the adhesive will not adhere. Install the
Emergency Release Marking. Attach the marking on or next to the emergency release!
7) This operator is to be used only with residential sectional or one-piece doors!
8) To avoid damage to the garage door and operator, disable locks before installing and operating
the operator.
9) Prior to installation check for and avoid any damaging of covered electrical, gas or water lines
in the walls or ceilings!
10) The garage ceiling must be designed so that a secure fastening of the operator is guaranteed!
11) The installer must ensure that the operator is firmly attached to the garage structure! Do not
attach to gypsum or plaster ceilings!
12) The enclosed emergency release rope must be installed at an easy to reach height! Check the
emergency release to ensure operation with only moderate force required!
13) Do not use the emergency release rope to open or close the door!
14) Check the function of all safety devices (light beam device, emergency release, and automatic
reversal)!
15) After installing the opener, the door must reverse when it contacts a 40mm high object (or a
50mm by 100mm board laid flat) on the floor!
16) The mechanical limitation device should be installed on the horizontal rail terminal of garage
door’s two, in order to avoid the panel slide out of the rail.
17) The installation and wiring must be complied with the architectural working standard and
electrical rules.
Work safely!
Always wear appropriate safety protection when using any tools!
For garages without a second access an additional emergency release is necessary, which
prevents a possible lock out!
