IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2 Never let children operate or play with the Door Controls.
Keep the Remote Control away from children.
3 Always keep the moving door in sight and away from
people and objects until the door is completely closed.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR.
4 NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED,PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5 Test Opener monthly. The door MUST reverse on contact
with a 1-1/2" high object (or a 2" x 4" board laid flat) at the
center of the doorway on the floor. After adjusting either
the Force or the Limit of travel,retest the Door Opener.
Failure to adjust the Opener properly may cause severe
injury or death.
6 When possible use the Emergency Release only when the
door is closed. Use caution when using this Release with
the door open. Weak or broken springs are capable of
increasing the rate of door closure and increasing the risk
of severe injury or death.
7 KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See Owner's
Manual. An improperly balanced door increases the risk of
severe injury or death. Have a Genie Factory Authorized
Dealer make repairs to cables,spring assemblies,and
other hardware.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
