Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the garage door opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.

Sticking or binding doors must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury.

Do not attempt to loose, move or adjust them. Call for garage door service.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing or servicing a garage door opener.

To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement, remove all ropes connected to the garage door before installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes. Connect the power supply cord only to properly earthed mains.

Lightweight doors of fiberglass, aluminum or steel must be substantially reinforced to avoid door damage. (See page 6.) The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation reinforcement kit.

The safety reverse system test is very important. Your garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 40mm obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat the test once a month and make any needed adjustments.

This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Door must not extend over public byway during operation.

The Protector System must be installed when the force at the edge of the closing door force exceeds 400N (40kg). Excessive force will interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

Permanently fasten the caution label adjacent to the wall-mounted door control control button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage to garage door.

Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push buttons) in a location where the garage door is visible, at a height of at least 1.5m and out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious personal injury from a closing garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Use manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed. Do not use the red handle to pull the door open or closed.

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

This product is provided with a power supply cord of special design which, if damaged, must be replaced by a power supply cord of the same type; such a power supply cord may be obtained and fitted by a specialist.

800A, 600A specifications

The Chamberlain 600A and 800A are innovative garage door openers designed to meet the needs of modern homeowners looking for security, convenience, and advanced technology. Both models are part of Chamberlain's renowned lineup, known for their reliability and performance.

The Chamberlain 600A features a robust, ½ horsepower motor, capable of lifting heavy wooden or insulated garage doors with ease. Its steel reinforcements ensure durability, while a chain drive system provides reliable and consistent operation. This opener is ideal for standard residential doors and boasts a lifting capacity of up to 500 pounds. An important highlight of the 600A is its myQ technology, which allows users to control and monitor their garage door remotely via a smartphone app. This feature enhances security and provides peace of mind, especially for those who frequently forget to close their garage doors.

On the other hand, the Chamberlain 800A takes advanced technology a step further with its 1.25 horsepower motor, allowing it to handle heavier and larger doors, up to 850 pounds. This model features a powerful belt drive system, which operates more quietly than traditional chain systems, making it a perfect choice for homes with living spaces adjacent to the garage. The 800A also includes the myQ technology, enabling users to receive real-time notifications and operate their garage door from anywhere, at any time.

Both models incorporate numerous safety features, including a safety reversing system that detects objects in the door’s path, reversing it to prevent accidents. Additionally, they come equipped with a durable exterior to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring longevity and sustained performance over time.

In terms of installation and maintenance, both the 600A and 800A are designed for user-friendly setup. The openers feature a simple assembly process and most homeowners can complete the installation in just a few hours.

In conclusion, the Chamberlain 600A and 800A garage door openers deliver a blend of power, safety, and technology. Whether you opt for the reliable 600A or the more robust 800A, both models exemplify Chamberlain's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, making them a smart choice for enhancing home convenience and security.
