IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. (If you have questions or do
not understand an instruction, call the Overhead
Door Corporation.)
2. Install only on a properly balanced sectional or one piece
garage door. An improperly balanced door could cause
severe injury. Have a trained door system technician make
repairs or adjustments to cables, spring assemblies, and
other hardware before installing the opener.
3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks
connected to the garage door before installing opener.
4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above
the floor. For products having an emergency release, mount
the emergency release within reach, but at least 6 feet above
the floor and avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent
accidental release.
5. Do NOT connect the opener to source of power until
instructed to do so.
6. Locate the wall console:
s Within sight of the garage door,
s At minimum height of 5 feet so small children
are not able to reach it, and
s Away from all moving parts of the door.
7. Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the
wall console in a prominent location.
8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse
within 2 seconds when it contacts a
1-1/2 inch high object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on
the floor.
