To reduce the risk of INJURY or DEATH:
• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• NEVER let children operate or play with gate/door controls. Keep the remote
control away from children.
• ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate/door. NO ONE SHOULD
CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE/DOOR.
• Test the gate/door operator monthly. The gate/door MUST reverse on contact
with an object or reverse when an object activates the noncontact sensors. After
adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate/door operator. Failure to
adjust and retest the operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or
DEATH.

when using this release when the gate/door is open. Weak or broken springs
may cause the gate/door to fall rapidly, causing severe INJURY or DEATH.
• KEEP GATES/DOORS PROPERLY OPERATING AND BALANCED. Read the
gate/door manufacturer's owner's manual. An improperly operating or balanced
gate/door could cause severe INJURY or DEATH. Have a qualified service
