Owner`s manual
22
Several important safety and instruction labels are included
with your operator package. 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. 6
on page 6. 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.
DO NOT PAINT OVER ANY LABELS.
8-20. APPLY LABELS TO INSIDE OF GARAGE
8-21. ATTACH OWNER’S MANUAL TO WALL
It is important that the manual be stored where it can be
referred to later in case adjustments need to be made, and /
or new controls or accessories added. Store the manual in
a safe, easily accessible location. We recommend you use an
envelope with an eyelet to store the manual in the garage on
a nail or hook on the wall near the wall control.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
2. Never let children operate or play with door controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD
CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5. Test door operator monthly. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 1-1/2" high object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on
the floor. After adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door operator. Failure to adjust the operator
properly may cause severe injury or death.
6. If possible, use the emergency release only when the door is closed. Use caution when using this release with the door
open. Weak or broken springs may allow the door to fall rapidly, causing severe injury or death.
7. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See Garage Door Owner's Manual. An improperly balanced door could
cause severe injury or death. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other
hardware.
8. Disconnect the electrical power to the garage door operator before making any repairs or removing the housing cover.
9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future safety, adjustment, and maintenance purposes.

8-9. CHECK EMERGENCY RELEASE
The release cord with knob should be adjusted to hang 6 ft. above
garage floomm
To adjust:
Slide knob up on cord.
Tie new knot at correct height.
Cut excess cord, leaving approximately 1” after knot.
Heatseal end of cord with match or lighter to prevent fraying.
Slide knob back into place.
Use extreme care when pulling release knob. DO NOT
use knob to pull door open or closed. Except for emer-
gency situations, use knob only when door is closed.
If the door is in the open position, use extreme care when
using the release.
Use emergency release to disconnect the door if the power is out.
This allows the door to be moved manually up and down
independent of the operator motor. It should also be used if for
some unforeseen reason the door strikes a person or object during
its travel and does not automatically reverse off the obstruction.
To release door—pull emergency release knob toward the
door at approximately 45 degrees. (Fig. 23)
Prior to re-engaging door, ensure that all obstructions are
removed and door is operating properly manually. Before
re-engaging trolley with a belt connector, pull knob toward the
operator at approximately a 45 degree angle. Now the door can
be reconnected by moving it manually and bringing it into position
when the connector is inside of the trolley.
