IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. (If you have
questions or do not understand an instruction, call
The Genie Company.)
2. Install only on a properly balanced sectional or
one piece garage door. An improperly balanced
door could cause severe injury. Have a trained door
system technician make repairs or adjustments to
cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before
installing the opener.
3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all
locks connected to the garage door before installing
opener.
4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or
more above the floor. For products having an
emergency release, mount the emergency release 6
feet above the floor.
5. Do NOT connect the opener to source of power until
instructed to do so.
6. Locate the wall console:
• Within sight of the garage door,
• At minimum height of 5 feet so small children
are not able to reach it, and
• Away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the
wall console in a prominent location.
8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse
within 2 seconds when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high
object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on the floor.
OPENER MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE INCLUDED
WALL CONSOLE. Safe-T-Beam® SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM MUST BE
INSTALLED TO CLOSE DOOR.
INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION
1. When garage door is opening, its movement will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam® is
obstructed.
2. If the Safe-T-Beam® is obstructed before the garage door fully closes, the door will not close.
3. When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam® is interrupted by person or obstacle, the garage
door will stop its downward travel and reverse automatically to its fully opened position.
4. Remove Safe-T-Beam® obstruction.
5. If the Safe-T-Beam® System fails, loses power, or is installed improperly, press and hold the wall
console "open/close" button until the door reaches its fully closed position. If you release the
"open/close" button on the wall console during the closing movement the door will reverse
automatically to its fully opened position.
