These labels must be posted inside your garage where they can be easily seen by all. We recommend installing them in the location shown in Fig. 9 on page 7. To affix the labels, peel off the protective backing, and stick onto smooth, clean surface. If labels don’t adhere well to surface, use tacks (wood door only) or additional adhesive to securely affix in place.
21. TENSION ADJUSTMENT Fig. 58 Proper Tension Adjustment Your preassembled rail comes with the tension adjusted to factory specifications. There should be no need for further adjustment. However, if exposed or subjected to unusually harsh operating conditions, the tension may need to be readjusted during the life of the opener. CHECK PROPER TENSION (Fig. 58): Release trolley from belt or chain, then examine the setting of the tension adjustment at the header end of the rail. Proper Space 21mm + 0.
