6' (1830) above the floor. Opener should be 7’ (2130) above floor. See Step 9.

IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Monthly, check the opener's down cycle safety reverse. The door must reverse when it
contacts a 1 1/2" (38) high object (or a 2X4 board laid flat) on the floor, in line with the door
opener. A closing door must also reverse if the photo eyes are interrupted. See Steps 12,13.
Always keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until it is
completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
Do not allow children to operate or play with the garage door controls. Keep the remote
control away from children.
The emergency release should only be used when garage door is in the closed position.
Weak or broken springs may cause door to fall if released in the open position, increasing
the risk of severe injury or death. Use caution when using the release with door open.
Monthly visually check the lift cables, spring assembly, hardware, etc. for wear and stability.
If the Safety Reverse or any other part of the garage door and opener system do not work
properly, or if you do not understand, call a trained Martin Door Dealer.
