Safety Instructions
CAUTION! FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURIES.
Garage Door Drive Mechanism
●
Never allow children to play with the door opening system. Keep
the remote control out of the reach of children.
●
Observe and comply with the locally applicable accident prevention
regulations and EC standards.
●
Only install the door drive mechanism on doors that have been
correctly aligned and counterweighted. A door that has not been
aligned correctly can cause serious injuries.
●
If possible, locate the door opener at least 2.1 metres above the
ground.
●
Check the door opener every month. The door should reverse its
direction of movement if it comes into contact with a 50 mm high
object on the ground. Check the door opener again if the opening
power setting or the end position has been changed. Faulty setting
of the opening mechanism may cause serious injury or death.
●
If possible, only use the emergency trip control when the garage
door is closed. Do not use it if the door is open. Weak or broken
springs may cause the door to fall, which in turn may lead to seri-
ous injury or death.
●
Always pull out the power plug before working on the door drive
mechanism.
●
Never put your hand near the door when it is moving or near
moving parts.
●
Keep children and handicapped persons away from the door.
Radio Remote Control
●
Radio remote control is only permissible for equipment and systems
where radio remote control of transmitters or receivers results in no
risk to persons or property or where such risk is eliminated by other
safety devices.
●
Do not use the manually-operated remote control near locations or
installations that are suscptible to radio interference (airports, hos-
pitals).
●
Radio remote control may only be operated after a non-hazardous
force value has been set. This force must be set low enough to
ensure that the closing pressure poses no risk of injury (see
Section entitled Force Adjustment ).
●
Radio remote control may only be used if movement of the door
can be supervised and there are no persons or objects in the area
of movement.
●
Caution! closing edges pose risk of crushing and shearing.
●
Keep the manually-operated remote control in a secure place to
prevent it being operated accidentally, e.g. by children.
