Important Safety Advice - Chamberlain GAROG DK Series Operating Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Before installation, operation or maintenance of this door drive,
this operating manual must be read through carefully
and all the safety advice must be followed.
This symbol means "Caution" and stands in front of safety advice intended to avoid
personal injury or material damage. Please read such advice carefully. The door drive is of
course designed and tested for safe operation. It is however only possible to guarantee this
if the following safety instructions are accurately followed during installation and operation.
This symbol is intended to advise that if the respective instruction is not followed serious
personal injury or material damage can occur.
The door should be counterbalanced.
If this is not done then additional
measures must be taken, such as
unwinding protection, to guarantee
proper operation. In the case of DKA
drives unwinding protection is
standard! Non-movable or stuck
doors must be repaired. Doors, door
springs, cables, pulleys, retainers and
rails are under extreme tension in
such situations and this can lead to
serious injuries.
Do not attempt to loosen, move or
realign the door yourself.
Contact your maintenance service.
Suitable protective clothing should be
worn during maintenance or installation
of the door opener. This includes safety
glasses, back supporting belt, and
protective gloves. When installing or
maintaining a door opener no jewellery,
watches or loose clothing may be worn.
When working from ladders or on
extended platforms the corresponding
safety procedures must be followed.
To avoid serious injuries resulting from
getting tangled or caught in the
mechanisms, all ropes and chains,
which are connected to the door,
must be removed before installing the
door opener.
During installation and connection of the
electrical supply the local building and
electrical regulations must be followed.
Power cables may only be connected to
a properly earthed network.
This system must not be installed in
damp or wet rooms.
Work on the door opener may only be carried
out by one (1) person working on his own.
When working on the door opener all
the local safety regulations must be
observed. Installation of this device
must be done according to EN12453.
The force on the closing door edge
must not exceed 150 N(15kg). If the
closing force is set to more than 150N
then the corresponding additional
safety accessories must be installed
(see "Installation of safety appli-
cations"). The force must never be
set to move a stuck door.
Too high a force leads to faults in the
proper operation of the reversing system
or to damage to the door.
To remind all operators of the safety
procedures the corresponding warning
sign should be attached beside the
operating control unit.
To avoid damage to the door all the
blocking devices should be deactivated.
If however the blocking devices must
remain in operation an unlatching switch
can be installed.
The three-switch block, main dis-
connecting switch and all other
control devices must be installed
within view of the door and out of
reach of children. Children should not
be allowed to operate switches or the
remote controller. Misuse of the door
opener can lead to serious injuries.
The door opener may only be
operated if the operator can see the
whole door area, if it is free from
obstacles and the door opener is
properly adjusted. No one may pass
through the door while it is moving
and children must not be allowed to
play in the vicinity of the door.
Before carrying out repairs or re-
moving the covers on the door
opener, it is essential to ensure that
no one can inadvertently start the
drive by installing a lockout device or
disconnecting the cables.
