LIFT-MASTER PRO8000 Instructions page 18

These safety alert symbols mean Caution – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions
carefully.
This garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict
accordance with the following safety rules.
Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Caution: If your garage has no service entrance door, Model 1702E Outside Quick Release must be installed. This accessory allows
manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.
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.
Handle tools and hardware carefully and 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 cord
only to properly earthed mains.
Lightweight doors of 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 25mm (1")
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.
Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid
damage to garage door.

OPERATION OF YOUR OPENER: Page 5
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.
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 unit should not be installed in a damp or wet
space.
