IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:Toreducetheriskofsevereinjuryordeath:

1.READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. (If you have questions or do not understand an instruction, call The Genie Company.)

2.Install only on a properly balanced sectional or one piece garage door. An improperly balanced door could cause severe injury. Have a trained door system technician make repairs or adjustments to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before installing the opener.

3.Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.

4.Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. For products having an emergency release, mount the emergency release within reach but, at least 6 feet above the floor to avoid contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release.

5.Do NOT connect the opener to source of power until instructed to do so.

6.Locate the wall console:

sWithin sight of the garage door,

sAt minimum height of 5 feet so small children are not able to reach it, and

sAway from all moving parts of the door.

7.Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the wall console in a prominent location.

8.After installing the opener, the door must reverse within 2 seconds when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on the floor.

INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION

1.When garage door is opening, its movement will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam® is obstructed.

2.If the Safe-T-Beam® is obstructed before the garage door fully closes, the door will not close.

3.When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam® is interrupted by person or obstacle, the garage door will stop its downward travel and reverse automatically to its fully opened position.

4.Remove Safe-T-Beam® obstruction.

5.If the Safe-T-Beam® System fails, loses power, or is installed improperly, press and hold the wall console "open/close" button until the door reaches its fully closed position. If you release the "open/close" button on the wall console during the closing movement the door will reverse automatically to its fully opened position.
