IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:

1.READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2.Do not permit children either to operate or to play with the opener. Keep remote control in a location inaccessible to children.

3.Operate opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door in sight until it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.

4.Check safety reversal system monthly. See page 30. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a one-inch object (or a 2x4 board laid flat) placed on the floor. If an adjustment is made to either the force or limit of travel, both adjustments may be needed and the safety reversal system must be checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in severe injury or death.

5.If possible, use the manual release only when the door is in a closed position. Caution should be taken whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken springs may cause the door to fall rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.

6.KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See page 3. An improperly balanced door may not reverse when required and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other hardware must be made by a professional garage door person.

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

8.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

(Located on the right panel)

Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in door operation requiring some re- adjustments, particularly during the first year of operation.

Pages 28 and 29 refer to the limit and force adjustments. Only a screwdriver is required. Follow the instructions carefully.

Repeat the safety reverse test (page 30) after any adjustment of limits or force.

The remote control transmitter

The opener must learn the code of any new remote control. Page 33 explains how to program your receiver and how to erase all codes if required. Self service of your receiver and remote controls is not recommended. If service is needed, call the toll-free number listed on the back page.

The remote control battery

The lithium battery should produce power for up to 5 years. To replace battery, pry open case with visor clip or screwdriver, as shown. Insert battery positive side up.

Dispose of your old battery properly.

WARNING

Keep batteries away from small children. If swallowed, promptly notify doctor.

Maintenance Schedule

Once a Month

Manually operate door. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door service.

Check to be sure door opens and closes fully. Adjust limits and/or force if necessary. (See pages 28 and 29.)

Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary adjustments. (See page 30.)

Once a Year

Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door tracks.
