• The drive must not be used with a door incorporating a wicket door, unless the drive cannot
be operated with the wicket door open.
• The drive is intended to be installed at least 2.5m above the floor.
• Do not disengage the opener to manual operation with children/persons or any objects
including motor vehicles within the doorway.
• If the door is closing and is unable to re-open when obstructed, discontinue use. Do not
use a door with faulty obstruction sensing
• When using auto close mode, a Photo Electric beam must be fitted correctly and tested
for operation at regular intervals. Extreme caution is recommended when using auto
close mode. All safety rules must be followed.
ELECTROCUTION! • Place opener in protected area so that it does not get wet.
• Do not spray with water .

service agent or suitably qualified person.
• Connect the opener to a properly earthed general purpose 240V mains power outlet
installed by a qualified electrical contractor.
CAUTION:
Emergency Access • If garage has no pedestrian entrance door, an emergency access device should be
installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case
of power failure.
Muscular strain • Practice correct lifting techniques (carton weighs approx 9kgs)
• Practice correct lifiting techniques when required to lift the door as per installation instructions.
Fall from ladder • Ensure ladder is the correct type for job.
• Ensure ladder is on flat firm ground that will take the weight without the legs sinking.

exerted on the object. As a result the object, door and/or person may suffer minor damage
or injury.
• Ensure the garage door is in good working order by undertaking regular servicing.
• Install the optional wall transmitter in a location where the garage door is visible, but out
of the reach of children at a height of at least 1.5m.
• Photo Electric beams must be installed if the closing force at the bottom edge of the door
exceeds 400N (40kg)
This automatic garage door opener is designed and tested to offer safe service provided it is
installed and operated in strict accordance with the following safety rules. Failure to comply with

WARNING! Take care when testing or adjusting the
Safety Obstruction Force. Excessive force may cause
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
Testing Close Cycle
a. Press the programmed transmitter to open the door.
b. Place a piece of timber approximately 40mm high on the
floor directly under the door.
c. Press the programmed transmitter to close door.
d. The door should strike the object and re-open.
Testing Open Cycle
a. Press the transmitter to close the door.
b. Press again to open the door.
c. When the door reaches approximately half way, firmly grab
the door’s bottom rail - the door should stop.
d. If the door does not reverse readily when closing, or stop

adjusting.
40mm block of wood
WARNING! If the door fails these tests, put the opener into
manual mode, only operate the door by hand and call for
service.
WARNING! Photo electric beams must be installed if the closing
force at the bottom edge of the door exceeds 400N (40kg) force.
NOTE: Once the travel limits are set and safety obstruction force tested check the chain or belt tension. As per the sticker on the C-rail the chain
or belt should sag slightly, so there is a 5mm gap between the bottom of the C-rail and the chain or belt.
The tension can be varied by using a spanner to adjust the bolt at the door end of the C-rail.
Be sure not to over-tension the chain or belt as this can cause damage to the C-rail or opener.
Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force
The Safety Obstruction Force is calculated automatically during setup. Adjusting this is normally only necessitated by environmental conditions
such as windy or dusty areas, and areas with extreme temperature changes.
