Toreduce the risk of severe injury or death:

1.READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2.Never let children operate or play with the door controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

3.Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until the door is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.

After adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door opener. Failure to adjust the opener properly may cause severe injury or death.
