	and objects until the door is completely closed. NO ONE
	SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4.	NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5.	Test opener monthly. The door MUST reverse on contact
	with a 1-1/2" high object (or a 2" x 4" board laid flat) at the
	center of the doorway on the floor. After adjusting either the
	force or the limit of travel, retest the door opener. Failure to
