Installation Instruction and User Guide

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

1. The installation of your new Automatic Garage Door Opener (Opener) must be carried out by a technically qualified or licensed person. Attempting to install your new opener without suitable technical qualifications may result in severe personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

2. Only install the Opener on a properly balanced and aligned, well-functioning Garage Door. An improperly balanced or malfunctioning Garage Door could cause serious injury. Have a qualified person check and if required, make repairs to your Garage Door before installing the Opener. As a general rule, your Garage Door is deemed to be well  balanced and aligned if it:
   a. requires an equivalent amount of applied force to manually open or close the Garage Door.
   b. requires no more than 150N of applied force to either manually open or close the Garage Door.
   c. does not rise or fall more than 100mm when stopped at any position between fully open or fully closed positions.
   d. does not rub on or make contact with any supporting or surrounding structures.

3. Repairs to Garage Doors must only be carried out by technically qualified persons. Attempting to repair the Garage Door without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

4. Remove or render inoperative all existing locks and ropes prior to installation of the Opener.

5. Adjust the Manual Release Cords so that they hang approximately 1.8 meters from the ground.

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

7. The Opener must be connected to a properly earthed general-purpose 240V outlet that has been installed by a qualified electrical contractor.

8. Locate the wall control panel/push-button:
   a. within site of the Garage Door
   b. at a minimum height of 1.5 m above the ground so that it remains out of the reach of small children
   c. away from all moving parts of the door.

9.  Affix the Entrapment Warning Label in a prominent position adjacent to the Garage Door.

10. The Manual Release Instruction Tag must remain attached to the Manual Release Cord.

11. After installing and correctly adjusting the Opener, the Garage Door must stop and reverse direction when it comes into contact with a 40mm high solid object placed on the floor under the Garage Door.

12. The correct function of the Safety Obstruction Reversing System should be checked on a monthly basis. Make sure that the Garage Door reverses when it makes contact with an obstruction.

13. Never use the Opener unless the Garage Door is in full view and free from objects such as cars, children and/or adults.

16. Never attempt to disengage the Opener to manual operation when there are children/persons or and other objects including motor vehicles under or near the path of the Garage Door.

17. For additional safety, we strongly recommend the fitment of Safety Beams. Although the Opener incorporates a pressure-sensitive safety obstruction system, the addition of  Safety Beams will greatly enhance the operating safety an
    Automatic Garage Door and provide additional peace of mind. In some countries, it is mandatory by law to fit Safety Beams. It is the sole responsibility of the owner/installer to fit Safety Beams in those countries which so require.

18. Removal of the Opener’s protective covers must only be performed by technically qualified personnel. Attempting to remove the protective covers or repair the Opener without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

19. Always ensure that the Garage Door is fully open before driving into or out of the Garage.

20. Always ensure the Garage Door is fully closed before leaving the driveway.

21. Adjustments to the Safety Obstruction Force settings must only be carried out by technically qualified personnel.
    Attempting to adjust the Safety Reverse Force setting without suitable technical qualification may result in severe personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

22. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the Garage Door at all times.

23. In order for the Safety Obstruction Force System to function, it must first encounter an object/person on to which some force must be exerted. As a result, the object/person/door may suffer damage or injury.

24. The Safety Obstruction Force System is designed to work on stationary objects only. If the Garage Door encounters a moving object during an Open or Close Cycle, serious personal injury, death, and/or property damage may occur.
