To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:

3. Operate opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door in sight until

must be checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in severe injury or death.

whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken springs may cause the door to
fall rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See page 3. An improperly balanced door may not
reverse when required, and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring ussembfias and
other hardware must be made by n professional garage door person.
