IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALLATION

AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. (If you have

questions or do not understand an instruction, call

The Genie Company.)

2. Install only on a properly balanced sectional or

one piece garage door. An improperly balanced

door could cause severe injury. Have a trained door

system technician make repairs or adjustments to

cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before

installing the opener.

3. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all

locks connected to the garage door before installing

opener.

4. Where possible, install the door opener 7 feet or

more above the floor. For products having an

emergency release, mount the emergency release 6

feet above the floor.

5. Do NOT connect the opener to source of power until

instructed to do so.

6. Locate the wall console:

• Within sight of the garage door,

• At minimum height of 5 feet so small children

are not able to reach it, and

• Away from all moving parts of the door.

7. Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the

wall console in a prominent location.

8. After installing the opener, the door must reverse

within 2 seconds when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high

object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on the floor.

INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION

1. When garage door is opening, its movement will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam® is

obstructed.

2. If the Safe-T-Beam® is obstructed before the garage door fully closes, the door will not close.
3. When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam® is interrupted by person or obstacle, the garage

door will stop its downward travel and reverse automatically to its fully opened position.

4. Remove Safe-T-Beam® obstruction.
5. If the Safe-T-Beam® System fails, loses power, or is installed improperly, press and hold the wall

console "open/close" button until the door reaches its fully closed position. If you release the

"open/close" button on the wall console during the closing movement the door will reverse

automatically to its fully opened position.
