There are a few specic areas which might require extra materials:
This operator includes parts and supplies needed for installation in most garages and on most garage doors.
There are many variations of garages and garage doors. A few additional parts and supplies may be needed
for installation in your garage and to your garage door. While going over these instructions, please note the
additional items you may need. For help nding a local Genie® Professional Dealer, refer to the dealer locator
at www.GenieCompany.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-35-GENIE.
• The header above the garage door where torsion springs are used Does it extend
far enough above the spring(s) to allow mounting of the header bracket? If not, or if you can’t
tell, you will probably need a piece of 2”x 6”lumber to span across wall studs.
• The area overhead where the operator will be mounted: if you have a nished
ceiling, you will need perforated angle which can span across beams or trusses.
• Is there wood along the door tracks near the oor where the Safe-T-Beam® can be
most easily mounted, or will you need fasteners or some other material for mounting to the track
itself? Will you need extension brackets or wooden blocks to extend the Safe-T-Beam far enough o
the wall to see past any door hardware?
•
Does the application require permanent wiring installed to the operator? If so, see optional permanent input
wiring installation section.
• Is there an electrical outlet within approximately 6’of the point where the operator will be? If
not, you need to contact a licensed electrician to install an outlet.
• Check condition of the door and all its associated hardware: Tracks, springs, hinges, rollers.
Is anything loose or appear to be worn? If so, have the door serviced by a trained professional.

Lorsque vous utilisez des agrafes isolées, assurez-vous qu’elles sont susamment serrées pour maintenir
le l électrique en place. Des agrafes trop serrées peuvent endommager les câbles et provoquer un
dysfonctionnement de la commande murale.
CAUTION
!
CAUTION
When using insulated staples, make only snug enough to hold electrical wire in place. Staples too tight can
cause damage to wire and cause wall control to malfunction.
!
WARNING
Use of any other wall control can cause unexpected operation of the door and loss of lighting feature.
Locate wall console within sight of door and far enough from door to prevent contacting it while operating
the console. Control must be at least 5 feet above oor to prevent small children from operating it.
!
AVERTISSEMENT
L’utilisation d’une autre commande murale pourrait produire des résultats inattendus de la porte ainsi que le
dysfonctionnement de l’éclairage. Localisez la console murale en vue de la porte et susamment loin de la porte pour
éviter tout contact pendant l’utilisation de la console. La commande doit être à une hauteur minimale de 1,5 m au-dessus
du sol an que les jeunes enfants ne puissent pas l’atteindre.
