WARNING
THE SAFE-T-BEAM® MUST BE ALIGNED OR THE OPEN-
ER WILL NOT FULLY FUNCTION.
Serious injury or death from a closing garage door may
result because of failure to test the safety reverse system.
Repeat this test monthly and adjust as needed.
The Safe-T-Beam® is an invisible ray of light that travels
across the bottom of the garage door opening (Figure 1). If
an object blocks the beam while the garage door is closing,
the opener will stop, then reverse and fully open the door.
