7. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2.Check with the door manufacturer to determine if additional reinforcement is required to support the door prior to installation of the garage door opener.

3.Install garage door opener only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door could cause serious injury. Have a qualified service person make repairs to garage door cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before installing the opener.

4.Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener.

5.If possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. Adjust the emergency release cord so that knob hangs 6 feet above the floor.

6.Do not connect the opener to source of power until this manual instructs you to do so.

7.Locate the wall control panel or wall button: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet

above the ground so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.

8.Place the Operating Warning Label next to the wall control panel or wall button in a prominent location. Affix Safety Label on inside of garage door. The Emergency Release Tag must remain on the emergency release cord.

9.After installing the opener, test Safety Reversal System. Door MUST reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high

object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.
