To prevent damage to garage door and opener:
• ALWAYS disable locks BEFORE installing and
operating the opener.
• ONLY operate garage door opener at 120V, 60 Hz to
avoid malfunction and damage.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door may NOT reverse when
required.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,
door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets or their
hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• Disable ALL locks and remove ALL ropes connected

Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
• Disable locks.
• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.
• Complete the following test to make sure your garage
door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.
