READ THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FIRST

Keep the garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired. Garage door, door springs, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury. Do not attempt adjustment. Call for professional garage door service .

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing or servicing a garage door operator.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes. Connect the power cord only to properly earthed mains.

The safety reverse system test is very important. Your garage door must reverse when obstructed on closing. Failure to properly adjust the operator may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat the test once a month and make any needed adjustments. (See Sensitivity adjustment).

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

Use the manual release Pull Rope to disengage the motor drive ONLY when the drive is switched OFF and, if possible, when the door is fully closed.

Do not use the force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.

Excessive force will interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to garage door.

Install any additional Push Buttons in a location where the garage door is visible, but out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push button (s) or remote control (s). Serious personal injury from a closing garage door may result from misuse of the operator.

CAUTION: Activate operator only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and the operator is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door operator before making repairs or removing covers.

IMPORTANT: Fix the caution label supplied to the rear of the garage door as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

NOTE: When you disengage the unit, please move the door gently. Left hand and

right hand switch must set before power up.

Force/Sensitivity Adjustment Controls are located under light cover.

See Figure 8

Open and Close sensitivity adjustment are independent of one another

(+ indicates more force) and (- indicate less force). Never change the

Force/Sensitivity setting by more than 1 increment at a time.

Note: Force/Sensitivity is set at level 6 at the factory both for open and close adjustments. There are 12 levels (increments) of open and close force/sensitivity setting. When either the maximum or minimum setting is reached the light will flash 6 times. The size and operating conditions of the garage door will determine the correct level of Force/

Sensitivity. Weather conditions may also affect the operation of the door requiring further adjustments as needed.
