1.1. Important Safety Information

WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure the safety of people and possessions, it is important that
you read all the following instructions.
Follow all instructions since incorrect installation can lead to severe
injury. Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the product could
cause serious harm to people and / or property.
The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last person on
the site who can ensure that the operator is safely installed, and that
the whole system can be operated safely.
Warnings for the installer
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS before beginning to install
the product.
• The installation of your new SDO4 SMART must be carried out by a technically
qualified or licensed person. Attempting to install or repair the SDO4 SMART without
suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death and / or
property damage
• Before installing the drive, check that the door is in good mechanical condition,
correctly balanced and opens and closes properly. The SDO4 SMART must only be
installed on a properly-balanced, well-functioning garage door. The garage door is
deemed to be well-balanced and aligned if it:
• Requires an equivalent amount of applied force to either manually open or close.
The applied force should not exceed 100N (10kg)
• Does not rise or fall more than 100mm when released at any point between the
fully-open and fully-closed positions
• Does not rub on or incorrectly make contact with any supporting or surrounding
structures
• The horizontal tracks have been installed level, and
• The door panels have been installed level, and
• The vertical tracks have been installed plumb, and
• The junction between the curved horizontal track and the vertical track does not
cause the door to 'jump'
• The counterbalance springs on sectional type garage doors must be properly
lubricated between all of the coils with heavy automotive bearing grease
• Failure to adequately lubricate the springs may result in one or more of the following:
• Counterbalance springs may become rusty over time, resulting in additional
operating friction between the coils which may cause the SDO4 SMART to
malfunction
• Seasonal temperature changes may cause the garage door springs to expand
and / or contract. The resultant increase and / or decrease in operating friction
may cause the SDO4 SMART to malfunction. Properly lubricating the springs
will help to minimise changes in operating friction due to the effects of seasonal
temperature change
