Preparing your Door

Before you begin:

Disable locks.

Remove any ropes connected to door.

Complete the following test to make sure your door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:

1.Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.

2.Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking.

If your door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call a trained door systems technician.

3.Verify equal cable tension on each side of door. Cable tension should remain equal during the entire travel of the door.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if door binds, sticks or is out of balance. An unbalanced door may not reverse when required.

NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust door, door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.

Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected to door BEFORE installing and operating door operator to avoid entanglement.

To prevent damage to door and operator:

ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and operating the operator.

ONLY operate door operator at 120V, 60 Hz to avoid malfunction and damage.

Do NOT exceed 10 complete cycles of door operation per hour.
