Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine. Review your owner's manual for both the door and door opener. If you don't have the owner's manuals, contact the manufacturer(s)
and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.
WARNING – Springs are under high tension. Only qualified individuals should adjust them.
