b.avoid body contact with grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,  
ranges and refrigerators. There is  
an increased risk of electric shock if  
your body is grounded.  
keep proper footing and balance  
at all times. This enables better  
control of the power equipment in  
unexpected situations.  
d.dress properly when assembling  
the Garage door opener. do  
not wear loose clothing or jew-  
elry. keep your hair, clothing and  
gloves away from moving parts.  
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair  
can be caught in moving parts.  
c.do not expose the Garage door  
opener to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering power equipment will  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
d.do not abuse the power cord.  
never use the cord for unplugging  
the Garage door opener. keep the  
cord away from heat, oil, sharp  
edges or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled Cords increase the risk  
of electric shock.  
4. power equipment use and care  
a.do not force the Garage door  
opener. use the correct power  
equipment for your application.  
The correct power equipment will do  
the job better and safer at the rate for  
which it was designed.  
e.if operating the Garage door open-  
er in a damp location is unavoid-  
able, use a Ground Fault circuit  
interrupter (GFci) protected sup-  
ply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk  
of electric shock.  
b.do not use the Garage door open-  
er if the remote controls do not  
turn it on and off. Any power equip-  
ment that cannot be controlled with  
its Remote Control is dangerous and  
must be repaired.  
3. personal safety  
a.stay alert, watch what you are do-  
ing and use common sense when  
operating the Garage door opener.  
do not use power equipment while  
you are tired or under the influence  
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A  
moment of inattention while operating  
power equipment may result in seri-  
ous personal injury.  
c.disconnect the electrical plug from  
the power source before making  
any adjustments, or changing ac-  
cessories. Such preventive safety  
measures reduce the risk of starting  
the power equipment accidentally.  
d.store the remote controls out of  
the reach of children and do not  
allow persons unfamiliar with the  
Garage door opener or these in-  
structions to operate the product.  
Power equipment is dangerous in the  
hands of untrained users.  
b.use personal protective equipment  
when assembling the Garage door  
opener. Wear ansi-approved  
safety goggles. Safety equipment  
such as dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection  
used for appropriate conditions will  
reduce personal injuries.  
e.maintain the Garage door opener.  
check for misalignment or bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of  
parts and any other condition that  
may affect the power equipments  
c.do not overreach when assem-  
bling the Garage door opener.

poorly maintained power equipment.  
with a 1-1/2” obstacle placed on the  
floor. Failure to properly adjust the  
Garage Door Opener may result in  
serious personal injury from a closing  
Garage Door. Repeat the test once a  
month and make any needed adjust-  
ments.  
5. service  
a.have your Garage door opener  
serviced by a qualified repair per-  
son using only identical replace-  
ment parts. This will ensure that  
the safety of the power equipment is  
maintained.  
5. The Garage Door Opener must not  
extend over a public byway during  
operation.  
6. Fasten the “CHILD WARNING” label  
adjacent to the lighted door control  
button as a reminder of safe operat-  
ing procedures. Disengage all exist-  
ing garage door locks to avoid dam-  
age to the Garage Door Opener.  
Specific Safety Warnings  
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on  
the Garage Door Opener. These  
carry important safety information. If  
unreadable or missing, contact Har-  
bor Freight Tools for a replacement.  
7. Any Garage Door Opener control  
buttons (if installed) MUST be located  
where the Garage Door is visible,  
but out of the reach of children. Do  
not allow children to operate control  
buttons or Remote Controls. Serious  
personal injury from a closing Garage  
Door may result from misuse of the  
Opener.  
2. To avoid serious personal injury from  
entanglement, remove all ropes con-  
nected to the Garage Door Opener  
before installing the unit. Installation  
and wiring must be in compliance  
with your local building and electri-  
cal codes. Connect the Power Cord  
of this unit only to properly earthed  
mains.  
8. Activate Remote Controls ONLY  
when the Garage Door Opener is  
in full view, free of obstructions and  
the Opener is properly adjusted. No  
one should enter or leave the garage  
while the Door is in motion. Do not  
allow children to play near the Door.  
3. Keep the Garage Door Opener bal-  
anced. Sticking or binding doors  
must be repaired or replaced. Ga-  
rage doors, door springs, cables, pul-  
leys, brackets and their hardware are  
under extreme tension and can cause  
serious personal injury. Do not at-  
tempt to loosen, move or adjust them.  
Instead, have a qualified service  
technician perform the adjustments  
and repairs.  
9. Use the Manual Release only to  
disengage the Trolley and, if possible,  
only when the Door is closed. Do not  
use the red Handle to pull the Door  
open or closed.

to test the safety reverse system:  
25. The safety reverse system test is important. The garage door must reverse on  
contact with a 1-1/2” thick obstacle laid flat on the garage floor. Failure to properly  
adjust the Garage Door Opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing  
garage door. Repeat this test once a month and adjust as needed.  
26. Place a 1-1/2” thick obstacle flat on the floor under the garage door. Operate the  
door in the down direction. The door must reverse on the obstruction. If the door  
stops on the obstruction, remove the obstruction and repeat the “Setting the Limits”  
section in this manual. Then repeat step #22.  
27. When the garage door reverses on the 1-1/2” obstacle, remove the obstruction and  
run the Garage Door Opener through a complete travel cycle. The door must not  
reverse in the closed position. If it does, repeat the “Setting the Limits” and “Open-  
ing/Closing Force” sections in this manual. Then repeat step #22.  
28. Finally, place about 40 pounds of weight at the center of the garage door to ensure  
that the door will not move up more than 20 inches when attempting to raise.  
29. The light bulb will automatically illuminate when the garage door is activated and  
will shut off after three minutes with no control activity.
