IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:Toreducetheriskofsevereinjuryordeath:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with the door controls. Keep the remote away from children.
3. Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until the door is completely closed. NO
ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5. Test opener monthly. The door MUST reverse on contact with a 1-1/2" high object (or a 2" x 4" board laid flat)
at the center of the doorway on the floor. After adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door
opener. Failure to adjust the opener properly may cause severe injury or death.
