SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL

KEEP GARAGE DOOR BALANCED.
Sticking or binding doors must be
repaired. Garage doors, door springs,
cables, pulleys, brackets and their
hardware are under extreme tension and
can cause serious personal injury. DO

ADJUST THEM. Call for garage door
service.

compliance with your local building and
electrical codes. CONNECT THE POWER
CORD ONLY TO A PROPERLY
GROUNDED OUTLET.
Fasten the CAUTION LABEL adjacent to
the lighted door control as a reminder of
safe operating procedures.
THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM TEST IS
VERY IMPORTANT (page 22). Your garage
door MUST reverse on contact with a
25mm 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 NEEDED
ADJUSTMENTS.
LIGHTWEIGHT DOORS OF FIBERGLASS,
ALUMINUM OR STEEL MUST BE SUB-
STANTIALLY REINFORCED TO AVOID
DOOR DAMAGE. (See page 17.) The best
solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation
reinforcement kit.
Install lighted door control (or any
additional push buttons) IN A LOCATION
WHERE GARAGE DOOR IS VISIBLE, BUT
OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. DO
NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE
PUSH BUTTON(S) OR REMOTE CONTROL
TRANSMITTER. Serious personal injury
from a closing garage door may result
from misuse of the opener.
CAUTION: Activate opener only when the
door is in full view, free of obstructions
and opener is properly adjusted. NO ONE
SHOULD ENTER OR LEAVE THE
GARAGE WHILE DOOR IS IN MOTION. DO
NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY NEAR
THE DOOR.
Use the manual release ONLY to
disengage the trolley and, if possible,
ONLY when the door is closed. DO NOT
