Important safety information
The automated door opening system has been as a matter of course tested and designed for safe operation, but safety can be assured only if the safety
instructions listed below are strictly adhered to during installation and operation
- The door should be balanced. Unmoving or stuck doors must be
repaired. In an unbalanced state, garage doors, door springs, cables,
discs, brackets and rails are under extreme tension, which can lead to
serious injury. Do not attempt to loosen, move or realign the door, but
contact service centre or a door professional.
- During the installation or maintenance of a door opener, no jewellery,
watches or loose clothing should be worn.
- To avoid serious personal injury due to entanglement, remove all cables
and chains connected to the door before installing the door opener.
- During installation and electrical connection, the local building and electri-
cal regulations must be observed.
This device complies with Protection Class 2 and does not require
grounding.
- To avoid damage to very light doors (such as fibre glass, aluminium or
steel doors), an appropriate reinforcement should be added.
To do so, contact the door manufacturer.
- The automatic safety reverse system should undergo a test. Upon contact
with a 50 mm high barrier on the ground, the garage door MUST return.
Failure to properly adjust the door opener can result in serious personal
injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a month and make any
needed changes.
- This system must not be installed in damp or wet areas.
- During operation, the gate should not under any circumstances obstruct
public passageways.
- To remind all operators of the safe operation, in addition to the illuminat-
ed wall switch a warning sign to protect children should be affixed.
The warning signs about the risk of trapping should be placed in clearly
visible spots.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device.
