Start By Reading These Important Safety Rules
THESE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS MEAN CAUTION - PERSONAL SAFETY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
DANGER FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
THIS GARAGE DOOR OPENER IS DESIGNED AND TESTED TO OFFER REASONABLY SAFE SERVICE
PROVIDED IT IS INSTALLED AND OPERATED IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION: IF YOUR GARAGE HAS NO SERVICE ENTRANCE DOOR, INSTALL MODEL 1702E EMERGENCY RELEASE
KEYLOCK. THIS ACCESSORY ALLOWS MANUAL OPERATION OF GARAGE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE IN CASE OF
POWER FAILURE.
KEEP GARAGE DOOR BALANCED. Sticking
or binding doors must be repaired. Garage
doors, door springs, cables, pulleys,
brackets and their hardware are under
extreme tension and can cause serious
personal injury. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
LOOSEN, MOVE OR ADJUST THEM. Call for
garage door service.
DO NOT WEAR RINGS, WATCHES OR
LOOSE CLOTHING while installing or
servicing a garage door opener.
To avoid serious personal injury from
entanglement, REMOVE ALL THE ROPES
CONNECTED TO GARAGE DOOR before
installing the garage door opener.
Installation and wiring must be in
compliance with your local building and
electrical codes. CONNECT THE POWER
CORD ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
OUTLET.
LIGHTWEIGHT DOORS OF FIBERGLASS,
ALUMINUM OR STEEL MUST BE SUB-
STANTIALLY REINFORCED TO AVOID
DOOR DAMAGE. (See page 17.) The best
solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation
reinforcement kit.
THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM TEST IS
VERY IMPORTANT (page 22). Your garage
door MUST reverse on contact with a 25mm
obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to
properly adjust the opener may result in
serious personal injury from a closing
garage door. REPEAT THE TEST ONCE A
MONTH AND
ADJUSTMENTS.
MAKE ANY NEEDED
DO NOT USE THE FORCE ADJUSTMENTS
TO COMPENSATE FOR A BINDING OR
STICKING GARAGE DOOR. Excessive
force will interfere with the proper
operation of the safety reverse system or
damage the garage door (page 21).
Fasten a CAUTION LABEL to the wall
adjacent to the Door Control and the other
to the garage door, as reminders of safe
operating procedures.
DISENGAGE ALL EXISTING GARAGE DOOR
LOCKS to avoid damage to garage door.
Install door control (or any additional push
buttons) IN A LOCATION WHERE GARAGE

REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER. Serious
personal injury from a closing garage door
may result from misuse of the opener.
CAUTION: Activate opener only when the
door is in full view, free of obstructions and
opener is properly adjusted. NO ONE

WHILE DOOR IS IN MOTION. DO NOT
ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY NEAR THE
