Chamberlain ML700 manual Contents

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 3.) 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.

Start by Reading These Important Safety Instructions

Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

•Read these instructions carefully

•The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.

These safety alert symbols mean Warning – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions carefully.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, Model 1702EML Outside Quick Release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

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.
