READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
This automatic garage door operator is designed and tested
to offer safe service provided it is installed and operated
in strict accordance with the following safety rules. Failure
to comply with the installation instructions and the safety
warnings may result in death, serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
WARNING!
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons – Use this operator only
with a rolling door. The drive must not be used with a door
incorporating a wicket door, unless the drive cannot be operated
with the wicket door open.
• This operator is a plug in domestic appliance and is designed
for indoor use only. It must be installed in a dry position that is
protected from the weather.
• Activate the operator only when the garage door is in full view,
free of obstructions and with the operator properly adjusted.
• The network device allows for operation of the door when not
in line-of-sight of the door and operator. Therefore the door
may operate unexpectedly, therefore do not allow anything to
stay in or near the path of the door.
• Watch the moving door and keep people away until the door is
completely opened or closed.
ELECTROCUTION:
• Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local
building and electrical codes.
• This operator is not equipped for permanent wiring. Contact a
qualified electrician to install a suitable receptacle if one is not
available.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a
grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug does not fit
into outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• Connect the power cord only to properly earthed mains. If an
extension lead must be used, make sure it is a 3-core lead and
approved to 7 amp capacity.
• This unit is not user serviceable. Unplug the power cord before
removing the cover. Ensure that the power cord is attached
clear of all moving parts. Ignoring these instructions can cause
electric shock.
CAUTION:
• If your garage has no pedestrian entrance door, an emergency
access device should be installed. This accessory allows manual
operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.
• Keep the garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors must be
repaired. Garage doors, door springs, brackets and their hardware
are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury.
Do not attempt any garage door adjustment. Do not use if repair
or adjustment is needed. Call for professional garage door service.
• Position the Garage Door Operator so that the power plug is
accessible when inserted into the power outlet.
• Install the wall transmitter in a location where the garage door is
visible, but out of the reach of children at a height of at least 5 feet
(1.53m).
• To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove all
unnecessary ropes or chains and disable any equipment such as
locks which are not needed for powered operation.
• Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing or
servicing a garage door operator.
• Ensure ladder is the correct type for the job and is on flat ground.
We recommend the user has 3 points of contact while on ladder.
• Activate the operator only when the garage door is in full view,
free of obstructions and with the operator properly adjusted.
• The operator is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
• Keep transmitters away from children.
• Do not allow children to play with door controls.
