IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children.
NEVER permit children to operate or play with garage
door control push buttons or remote controls.
3. ONLY activate garage door when it can be seen clearly, it
is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to
door travel.
4. ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely
closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING DOOR.
5. If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or
broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an
open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
6. NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

Using Your Garage Door Opener

When the opener is activated with the safety
reversing sensor installed and correctly aligned:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, it will open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for
entry and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. If fully open, the door will not close when the beam
is broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening
cycle.
If the sensor is not installed, or is misaligned, the
door won't close from a hand-held remote. However,
you can close the door with the Door Control, the
Outdoor Key Switch, or Keyless Entry, if you activate
them until down travel is complete. If you release
them too soon, the door will reverse.
