WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2 Never let children operate or play with the Door Controls. Keep
the Remote Control away from children.
3 Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and
objects until the door is completely closed.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR.
4 NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
5 Test Opener monthly. The door MUST reverse on contact with
a 1-1/2” high object (or a 2” x 4” board laid flat) at the center of the
doorway on the floor. After adjusting either the Force or the Limit
of travel, retest the Door Opener. Failure to adjust the Opener
properly may cause severe injury or death.
6 When possible use the Emergency Release only when the door
is closed. Use caution when using this Release with door open.
Weak or broken springs are capable of increasing the rate of door
closure and increasing the risk of severe injury or death.
7 KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See Owner’s
Manual. An improperly balanced door increases the risk of severe
injury or death. Have a Genie Factory Authorized Dealer make
repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware.
