These safety alert symbols mean WARNING – a personal safety or property damage instruction.

Read these instructions carefully.

This garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in

strict accordance with the following safety rules.

Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

WARNING: If your garage has no service entrance door, a Combo Access Device must be installed. This accessory allows

manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

Keep garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors

must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables,

pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme

tension and can cause serious personal injury. Do not

attempt to loosen, move or adjust them. Call for garage

door service.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while

installing or servicing a garage door opener.

To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,

remove all ropes connected to the garage door before

installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local

building and electrical codes. This a class 2 double

insulated product, connection to earth is not required

or provided.

Lightweight doors of fibreglass, aluminum or steel

must be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage.

The best solution is to check with your garage door

manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.

The safety reverse system test is very important. Your

garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 40mm

obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the

opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing

garage door. Repeat the test once a month and make

any needed adjustments.

This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Door must not extend over a public byway during

operation.

Before You Begin

1. Look at the wall or ceiling above the garage door. The header

bracket MUST be securely fastened to structural supports.

2. Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support

bracket and additional fastening hardware (not supplied) may be

required.

3. Do you have an access door in addition to the garage door? If not,

a Combo Access Device is required.
