THE OPENER IS NOT INTENDED TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY AN UNBALANCED OR

BINDING DOOR, BROKEN DOOR SPRINGS OR BY FAULTY DOOR HARDWARE.

LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENTS: These adjustments must be checked and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is required. Page 17 refers to the limit and force adjustments. Follow instructions carefully.

may cause some minor changes in door operation requir- ing some readjustments, particularly during the first year of operation.
