5. GARAGE AND DOOR

A garage door is a heavy moving object and can

cause serious injury or death. An unbalanced door

might not reverse when required, and can increase

the risk of injury. If your garage door is out of

balance, or if it binds or sticks, call for professional

garage door service. Garage doors, springs,

pulleys, cables, and hardware are under extreme

tension and can cause serious injury or death.

Do not try to adjust them yourself. Ropes left

on a garage door could cause someone to become

entangled and could kill them. Remove all ropes

connected to the door before installing your opener.

Take a moment to survey your garage and garage door.

■Is there an access door besides the garage door? If not, you should install an emergency key release kit.

■With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than 1/4". If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before installing opener.

■The opener is intended for installation on a properly balanced and adjusted garage door. DO NOT INSTALL IF DOOR IS UNBALANCED OR BROKEN.

■Check balance of door in mid travel and during full range of opening and closing. Lift the door about half way,

as shown in Fig. 2 & 3. Release the door. It should remain in place, supported by its springs. Raise and lower the door fully to check for binding or sticking.

■If door is out of balance or needs repair, DO NOT ADJUST IT YOURSELF. CALL A QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR SERVICE PROFESSIONAL to adjust your door.

■If your door is over 7 ft. high, you will need a longer rail. See section “16. Accessories” on p. 28 of this manual for availability of longer rails.

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberlass or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of the door both vertically and horizontally with steel or angle iron bracing.

The best solution is to follow the instructions for your partic- ular garage door or contact the garage door manufacturer for proper reinforcement instructions.
