TEST THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM
25
The safety reverse system test is important. The garage door must reverse on contact with a 40mm
obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly adjust opener may result in serious personal
injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a month and adjust as needed.
Procedure: Place a 40mm obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor under the garage door. Operate the door in
the down direction. The door must reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops on the obstruction, it is
not travelling far enough in the down direction. Increase the down limit by turning down limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat test.
When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the opener through a
complete travel cycle. Door must not reverse in closed position. If it does, adjust Limits and Force and
repeat safety reverse test.

INSTALL THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM™
26
(See accessories)
Install this accessory for all installations on tilt doors, doors over 2.5m and when the closing force
as measured on the bottom of the door is over 400N (40kg).
After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System™ accessory can be installed.
Instructions are included with this accessory.
The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a small child being
trapped under a garage door.
It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and pre-
vents an open door from closing and is strongly recommended for homeowners with young children.
NOTE: The opener will automatically
detect the protector system when it
is installed. The opener will not close
unless the sensors are aligned.
