The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door,
should not exceed 150 N (15kg). If the closing force is
adjusted to more than 150 N, the Protector System must be
installed. Do not use the force adjustments to compensate
for a binding or sticking garage door. Excessive force will
interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse
System or damage the garage door.
Fasten the caution label adjacent to the lighted door control
button as a reminder of safe operating procedures.
Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid damage
to garage door.
Install the lighted door control button (or any additional push
buttons) in a location where the garage door is visible,
but out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to
operate push button(s) or remote control(s). Serious
personal injury from a closing garage door may result from
misuse of the opener.
Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of
obstructions and 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.
Use 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.
Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener
before making repairs or removing covers.
This product is provided with a power supply cord of special
design which, if damaged, must be replaced by a power
supply cord of the same type; such a power supply cord
may be obtained from your local Chamberlain distributor and
must be fitted by a specialist.

PARTS LIST: Illustration
OPENER PARTS LIST: Illustration
Keep garage door balanced. Sticking or binding doors
must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, cables,
pulleys, brackets and their hardware are under extreme
tension and can cause serious personal injury. Do not
attempt to loosen, move or adjust them. Call for garage
door service.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while
installing or servicing a garage door opener.
To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,
remove all ropes connected to the garage door before
installing the door opener.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your
local building and electrical codes. Connect the power
supply cord only to properly earthed mains.
Lightweight doors or fiberglass, aluminum or steel
must be substantially reinforced to avoid door
damage. (See page 4.) The best solution is to check with
your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation
reinforcement kit.
The safety reverse system test is very important. Your
garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 50mm
(obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the
opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing
garage door. Repeat the test once a month and make
any needed adjustments.
This unit should not be installed in a damp or wet
space.
