Without a properly working safety reversal system, persons
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a closing garage door.
The gap between the bottom of the garage door and the
•
floor MUST NOT exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
The floor or the garage door MUST be repaired to eliminate
•
the gap.
