Important safety instructions for operation

It is vital for the safety of persons to follow all instructions. Save these instructions.

WARNING Do not allow children to play with door controls. Keep remote
controls away from children. The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.

Watch the moving door and keep people away until the door is completely
opened or closed.

Use caution when operating the manual release with the door open since
it may fall rapidly due to weak or broken springs or an imbalanced door.

Do not use the manual release cord to pull the door open. The cord or
release may break under load.

Frequently examine the installation, in particular cables, springs and mount-
ings, for signs of wear damage or imbalance. Do not use if repair or adjust-
ment is needed since a fault in the installation or an incorrectly balanced
door may cause injury.

Each month check that the drive reverses when the door contacts a 40mm
(50mm for UK) high object placed on the floor. Adjust if necessary and
recheck since an incorrect adjustment may present a hazard.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before making any
repairs or removing any side covers.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the opener to rain or mois-
ture.

To avoid electrical shock do not open the cabinet without disconnecting
the opener from the mains.
