Garagedoorshouldbebalancedandeasytoopenandclosebyhand.
Locksshouldbedisabledandpulldownropesshouldberemoved.
Locate the control box/push button within sight of door, at min. height of 5' (1520) so
small children cannot reach it, and away from all moving parts of door.
Emergency release lever should be installed and adjusted to about 6' (1830) above
the floor. Monthly check that the lever angle is correct. See page 4, 9
Risk of electrical shock is explained in Step 3. Do not connect opener to source of
power until instructed to do so.
Entrapment and warning labels should be installed next to the control box/push
button.
Where possible install opener 7’(2135) or more above the floor.
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. Aclosing door must also reverse
if the optional photo eyes are interrupted.
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.
NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR
Do not allow children to operate or play with the garage door opener controls. Keep all
remote control transmitters 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR
DEATH, READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
