Operation

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
2. ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children. NEVER permit children to operate or
play with garage door control push buttons or remote controls.
3. ONLY activate garage door when it can be seen clearly, it is properly adjusted, and there are no
obstructions to door travel.
4. ALWAYS keep garage door in sight and away from people and objects until completely closed.
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.

the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
