2. ADVANCED FEATURES

This opener includes numerous state-of-the-art features to provide you, the user, with years of trouble-free, convenient, and safe use of your automatic garage door opener.

■Precision Controlled DC Motor, Complete with Automatic Soft Start and Soft Stop Feature: The opener automatically detects when your door is almost fully closed or fully opened, and gradually slows the door down before it reaches its fully closed or opened position. During start-up, the door starts moving slowly and gradually ramps up to full speed for the full travel of your door. This reduces the possible damag- ing effects of the sudden starts and stops associated with some other openers, and results in the smooth operation and increased life of your door and hardware.
