1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

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

installation of the door operator.

3. Install operator 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 operator.

4. Remove all ropes and disable all locks connected to the garage door before installing operator.

5. If possible, install the door operator 7 feet (2.1m) or more above the floor. For products having an emergency

release, adjust the emergency release cord for the handle to be within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.8m) above the

floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to avoid accidental release.

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

7. Locate the wall control station: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.5m) 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 in a prominent location. Affix Safety Label on

inside of garage door. The Emergency Release markings molded on handle.

9. After installing the operator, test Safety Reversal System. Door MUST reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch (50mm)

high object on the floor.
